SoulCalibur IV for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

The newest installment to the Soul Calibur franchise has you once again looking to gain the power of the two legendary swords, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. The new story mode is short but will keep you on the edge of your seat for hours. Also there is the Tower of Lost Souls where you ascend twenty levels fighting tons of enemies and fighters from the Soul Calibur franchise, and then descending back for another experience. Utilizing the next generation console, it creates beautiful graphics that seem distract you on your first fight in the game. The fighting itself has not rapidly change except for making it feel like your not going to lose to your friend who keeps using the same technique over and over again. A new part of the game play has been added though which is Soul Crush which is that if you block to many heavy attacks you will become vulnerable to your opponent allowing them to automatically kill you with a critical finish attack. In addition to the fighters, two new guest characters have arrived to join the hunt for the swords, Darth Vader and The Apprentice from the Star Wars Galaxy. For those who have played Soul Calibur 3, the character creation has been brought back with tons of new items to customize your character. In terms of facing another person, Soul Calibur now lets you play people over PlayStation Network in a ranked/player normal/special versus match. Special versus mean that you can use any ability you equipped to your character using character creation to use to your advantage against other players. in the museum you can see Chain of Souls which shows you how each character each other thinks about one another, Art Gallery for drawn pictures and character models, Event Gallery for the endings you unlocked and Battle Records for Honors you have unlocked. I would recommend this game to any Soul Caliber fans and for those looking for a excellent weapons fighting game. May the Dark side of the force be with you.
