A strange things, Soul Calibur IV. On one side you get rock hard action, hardcore gameplay in one of the most serious genres, added wiht niche-defining weapons, and on the other side you get treated with everything testosteron-confused geeks get off on: big boobs, a whirling Yoda and graphics that...

A lot of people are 'reviewing' this on this page and saying you can't play as Vader but it is a well known fact that he will be available as DLC later on so thats that sorted. The last Soul Calibur game wasn't as good as it could've been and people were expecting something better than SC2 which I...

Soulcalibur is somewhat of a landmark title. While there have been many fighting game franchises that have come and gone, few are regarded with as much nostalgic esteem as this weapon-based brawl-a-thon from Namco.

Played Soul Calibur 3, loved it, enjoyed it for months, and been waiting for the next installment for a long time. I finally bought it, almost 2 year ago, and I still can't express my HATE toward this piece of joke.

Single Player / Campaign : Oh god, someone stop me, I'm about to do a STORY analysis on a fighting game... Soul Calibur IV is just like any game in it's genre, a sad excuse for game developers to emphasize on boobs A LOT ( Exhibit A ). And when I say A LOT, I mean A LOT ( Exhibit B ).

I remember this game back when I was a kid, so I had to get it .. Similar players ..great game for xbox 360

Let's clear one thing up right from the off. If you want to play as Yoda and Darth Vadar, you DON'T need to buy both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Soul Calibur IV. Nope, it transpires that each character is available for download as a piece of additional content.

Lots of characters; including a treat for Star Wars fans; looks incredible; brutal action by the bucket load

It's still just a beat-em up

Fans of the series have already done and seen most of what Soul Calibur IV has to offer, but that shouldn't keep you from picking up this phenomenal fighting game. See why this is still the best weapons-based 3D fighting game.

For many, Soul Calibur II really encapsulated everything that was great about the excessively theatrical hack 'em up. It struck exactly the right balance, with a combat system as intricate or as basic as you wanted it to be whilst simultaneously packing in a raft of memorable characters.

Bashing exotic opponents with gigantic fantasy swords is brilliant. That's the fundamental thing that sets Soulcalibur apart from other...

The meatiest impacts in games; Outfits bordering on the illegal; Beautifully balanced fighting

Slightly disappointing roster; No creation-based fighting styles; Star Wars fighters out of place
