Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the best fighting games ever, Soul Calibur not only offers you a fantastic plethora of fighting moves, characters and action, but also the chance to bury your PlayStation friends into the ground with its oozing graphics.
Based on the great old fighting formula, you chose to play one of 19 characters in their individual quest for the ultimate trophy "The Soul Calibur". Yet the game doesn't just rest on its fighting laurels; it offers a whole host of gaming options: arcade mode, versus mode, team battle, time attack, survival, mission battle and art gallery modes.
With choices ranging from how many characters you can defeat before you yourself are knocked out to working on a team level with multiple characters, it seems unlikely that this game will not keep you amused for quite sometime. If all this isn't enough, the game also opens up as you play. More characters, levels and even an art gallery of production and gameplay stills become available the more you play and the more you complete. If you want the choice of all the characters, you need to complete the game with every character first.
What Namco have done is create a great game that also acts as a benchmark to anything else that follows it. The graphics are the best you're likely to see on the Dreamcast with both characters and scenery getting their fair share of the processing power available. Normally, fantastic graphics make for sometimes poor gameplay, because too much time has been given to putting that shine on the product, yet here, nothing has been hindered, creating a game that is superb. --Stuart Miles

This is one of the best fighting game I've ever played in my life and that is saying something since I've played everything from Street Fighter to Tekken.
It is a fast paced fun game with interesting characters and story line, with leads on from the original Soul Edge/Blade, with is on the Play Station platform.
It’s a beautiful game with astonishing visuals and the characters that can move in a full 360 degrees around the arena’s from any side. This makes the game unique and unlike any other beat em up.
It's characters move in a very real fashion plus they all have some brilliant special moves, as well as grabs and throws.
The game also has many special features like an art gallery and third costumes, as well other stuff like mission mode and training mode to name a few.
Overall it’s a great game and well worth the money so if you’re reading this review buy it, you will not be disappointed

Soul Calibur is THE best fighting game on one of the very best consoles in the world.I have not yet seen better graphics on any platform. It has a fantastic learning curve so pros and beginners can enjoy the challenge of completing the game. One of the most enjoyable games ive ever played.

Soul Calibur is unquestionably the daddy of all 3D beat-em-ups ; it cacks all over the likes of Tekken Tag Tournament from truly stratospheric heights . Only Yu Suzuki's Virtua Fighter comes close to touching it . The first thing you'll notice is the visuals - incredible explosions of light and sparks from clashing blades , utterly lifelike character modelling and animation , an intelligent free-roaming camera , and photorealistic battle arenas featuring falling snow and little eddies of polygonal leaves . Your eyes will bleed . The gameplay follows suit - a host of modes to suit either single-player or multiplayer provide well over the norm in terms of lastability for this genre . Some of the more difficult challenges can take days to complete , but the reward system encourages persistence , with shed-loads of hidden arenas , characters , play-modes , gallery-pictures and other stuff to unlock . The learning curve is nigh-on perfect . And combos - probably thousands , but certainly enough to , errrrrrrrr , fill an extremely large combo-container thingy . And by the way , playing this game on a gamepad is a travesty , go out and invest in an arcadestick and play it as it was intended to be played . You can even decorate it with cigarette burns for added arcade ambience , if you want . Nutshell - Soul Calibur kills all known Tekkens dead , in an instant . Dreamcast's finest hour .
