Teenage boys dream! Having enjoyed past SC games I was looking forward to playing this. And it is a lot of fun to play. It's good for some mindless video game violence but does become fairly repetitive. The single player modes lack something. Story mode is a bit of a joke really, and there's not much sense of achievement in arcade mode. OK, Tower of lost souls does provide something else but there's little variety really.

It has soul, But lacks any real variety Soulcalibur has always had stupidly high expectations to live up to, with the dreamcast iteration scoring 10's across the globe and ranking top on many players games of choice. Each subsequent game has failed to match the hype that surrounds it, but this hasn't stopped the guys at Namco trying. For the latest installment they have teamed up with Lucasarts and managed to bag Yoda, Darth Vader and the apprentice, I'm warning you now... while worthy additions, they look and feel overpowered and out of... more info
