Soul Calibur

THE GOOD:
Unbelievably good graphics, great sound, and DEEP gameplay. Exceptional replay value.

THE BAD:
Isn`t the best, but close enough for anyone to buy anytime.

SUMMARY:
Just one word: BUY! Soul Calibur is the game that truly shows what DC can do. It has the best character modelling yet seen in any game and one of the most ambitious gameplay systems seen in a fighting game.
Detailed analysis of this game is just redundant, just get it!

THE GOOD:
1. Very good in-game dynamics.
2. Great character balance.
3.Remains a challenge to even the most advanced user
with an awesome mission battle mode.
4. Button-mashing will produce cool moves from characters to hook a novice, but the sweet fluidity and skillful execution of moves gained by practice makes every user want to put the time in and become an expert.

THE BAD:
not much...buy this $hit

SUMMARY:
Despite the fact that people maintain that the discrepancies of speed, range and weapon range are unbalanced, I disagree. This game is on the cutting edge in terms of a wide variety of styles and stances, while not succumbing to the temptation to homogenize all the characters to one, only slightly varying, fighting style.
For example: If you are fighting with Astaroth, Rock, or Nightmare, and are upset about their slowness and lack of quick defending, you are not experiencing a flaw in the game; you are simply...

THE GOOD:
Out of all the fighters of the PS1, or Dreamcast this is the best, it even beat most PS2 and Xbox fighters until Soul Caliber 2 came out! The Graphics were great, and the action was solid. Character design was as creative and cool as can be. The arena's were all really cool too! And of course, the various options and forms of combat the game provided were great too. Each of the characters has their own moves and styles of combat, and have special attacks that will rock your world! Different costumes add to customization. And to top it off there's a Museum in which you can learn more about your favorite characters.

THE BAD:
The arcade mode was a bit short and simple, and the story, although good, wasn't used to the fullest. Alot of the plot was left unexplained.

SUMMARY:
In total this is one of the greatest games ever made, and anyone with a Dreamcast should get it, even if they have Soul Caliber 2.

Soul Calibur is one of the first Dreamcast games released and is one of the best beat-em-up games in history. In the beginning, I just selected Sonic Adventure as I have my own financial problems at that time. After having a couple of bucks, I shelled out some money and this game is mine. It's actually a fighting game that leads you to a new world, with dozens of missions for you to do and for you to unlock all the playable secret characters.

Graphics – 10
The sleek and beautiful introduction in a form of FMV was astoundingly amazing. This game will show all the characters at once with a rapid, beating music, flashing movements and flawless animations. If you have unlock more secret characters, they will be in the introduction of the game. Cool feature from Namco! While in the game itself, Namco enhanced the graphics from the arcade machine and everything was a simple port with numerous improvements. As this game was superior between the two versions, you'll see the...

THE GOOD:
Everything

THE BAD:
Mitsurugi has no nipples. It would've been nice to have interactive stages. I could't find anything else wrong with it.

SUMMARY:
This is one of the first games to come out for the Dreamcast, and it's still one of the best. The graphics are absolutely amazing. The characters almost look real. The game plays well too. Anyone who has a Dreamcast must buy this game. If you don't have a Dreamcast, make this game a reason to buy one.

THE GOOD:
Great characters,great graphics,lots of moves per character,versus,good music and voices as well.

THE BAD:
Out-of-ring

SUMMARY:
This game ruled of awsomeness.Even though it was one of the fist on Dreamcast it is still one of the best today.I haven't seen a better fighting game ever!The only downside was getting a surre victory snatched away from you with an out-of-ring.

THE GOOD:
Pretty much everything. It should be more popular than Mortal Combat, in my opinion.

THE BAD:
~The narator is annoying but fun to imitate.
~Out of the rings are an easy way to win, but it isn't fun when it happens to you!!!!!!!
~Mission Battle gets hard. So hard it'll take you about 3 months to beaat it!

SUMMARY:
When I wake up every morning, Soul Calibur's what I play. It's things you won't find any where else. It has a list that shows you all yoour moves. It has museum that features:
~An Art Gallery
~A Battle Theatre(CPU vs. itslf)
~An Exhibition Theatre
~Of coarse, Character Profiles

There is is so much more, but I want you to rent this game for yourself(Any one you says the music sucks can go F*@ up a tree!)

THE GOOD:
For me, attacks like the "Ivy Lick" and Sophitia's "Heaven's Arch". Voldo's 3rd outfit. When Mitsurugi says "You'll be in hell before me". When Edgemaster does Voldo's "Superfreak" or Xianghua's girly attack. Whenever the announcer calls me Perfect!!

THE BAD:
Sophitia's 3rd outfit. Ring outs although my Taki always seems to jump out of the ring on her own. When narrator says 'YOU LOSE" in that annoying voice. Trying to beat the cpu on ultra hard team battle! (CPU cheats). Getting Rock at the end in a team battle is really bad- losing to Rock is worse!

SUMMARY:
This is a very competive fighting game that you 'll never get bored with. Even though it iis one of my favs, I still have a few complaints: There...

THE GOOD:
graphics a great and the game handles good too.

THE BAD:
the damn anouncer but that is it

SUMMARY:
i have played many fighting games but this one is the best so far

nice graphics, and the only game without "magic" fighting and hand to hand combat.very good game, I can't wait for SoulCalibur2
