It's finally here! I know some of you here don't like 3D fighters, but I adore Soul Calibur. Is there anybody else here with an XBL account and plan to get the game? I'd love to play some of you. I plan to practice a lot, hopefully put up a fight. My main characters are Nightmare, Cervantes, Taki, Zasalamel, and (sort of) Setsuka. Although I'm best with NM and Cervantes.
I 'm in awe at how AMAZING this game looks. It's simply the second purdiest thing on my 360 at the moment. Eternal Sonata still holds the top spot in the purdy department. Like all Soul Calibur sequels it plays the same but with tweaks, additions, and improvements made along the way. Every game gets closer to perfection. I'm happy to see that I can pick up Nightmare and Cervantes and still play almost as well as when I was in my prime. Cervantes has a couple sick new moves.
Minor complaints, there's no huge story-type side-quest like in SCII or SC3. The story mode for each character is only 5 rounds and there's significantly fewer cutscenes than in SC3. Overall each character's ending is less flushed out. That makes me sad but the game plays so damned well I'm inclined not to care so much. No alt. endings that I've seen so far, and I havn't even scratched the surface on the Tower of Souls or whatever it's called.
Overall I give it a 9/10. Great gameplay, great graphics, a good amount of content despite being lessened from SC3. And wait! I didn't mention the infinitely expanded Create-a-Soul mode! It's AMAZING TOO! You can not only edit the main character's colors, but you can edit their perks and bonuses, their preferred weapon, and THEIR ENTIRE OUTFIT. First thing I did was give Setsuka back her dark brown hair. I hate her blonde.
So what's everyone else think? Huh? HUH?
