If you are new to Soulcalibur ill tell you that its a weapon based fighting game, and its a great one.
Ill start with the few bad things this game has, which pretty much just is the storyline. its mostly about the largely forgettable character Patrlokos which is on a quest to wield Soul Calibur "in the name of love" and rid his estranged sister Phyrra. You will play as some other characters in the short and boring story such as his sister and a few more, but it will mostly be about him.
Although the single player was a disappointment Soul Calibur has lots of stuff to offer. The game has about 30 characters, it has both new and returning carachters some of the many returning are Nightmare and Ivy.
The online in this game is amazing, whether you just fight against a friend or new people its really enjoyable. The game looks gorgeous, has great combat animations, and a great variety of maps, the battle arenas are great, the games run smooth and the characters are nicely detailed. For all AC fans in this game you can pay as Ezio Auditore and he really fits in to the game well and they did a really good job taking in his weapons from AC games; both ranged wepons and non-ranged
I have friends that are new to fighting games and they have had some trouble to get those combos, but just give it some time and you will se how amazing it is, because the combat system really has a lot of depth. Another great thing is the "character creation mode" which lets you creat your own characters and us them wherever you want(except story mode). So lets sum it all up...
Pros:
- Very smooth and amazing gameplay.
- Looks gorgeous
- Great game to play with friends.
- Great combat system
- Character animation is stunning
- Character creation mode is a lot of fun
Cons:
- Poorly written storyline
- Overly dramatic dialogue
- Took out some fan- favorites
The game is very good, but if you don't like fighting games this game wont really change anything.
