Soul Calibur IV
Date undefinedI was hoping for SC IV to at least be as cool as SC III. I was envious of my friends and their PS2 with SC III. Random Creation was fun and a silly way for party gaming... you could get some very odd creations that way. Sadly they change the feature to give you a random woman or man, who basically always look right and have appropriate fighting styles.
how dull... the rest of the game is basically a repetitive grind of the same fights over and over so you can unlock a bunch of junk for your characters to use. Still a pretty good party game, but it just seems to leave much to be desired.

Date undefinedGotta say, this game has probably the best graphics I've seen so far on 360. Everything is just so detailed and gorgeous. Gameplay is great, I like how Taki's, Kilik's and Tira's characters have developed. The finishing moves are crazy and amazingly rendered. Great game overall.

Date undefinedI've been a fan of the soul blade/calibur series since day one, so this review will be understandably slightly bias. However, that is not to say that I'm just a fanboy for anything SC. The graphics on the game are amazing, and everything flows well. The whole speed overall is a touch slower than SC2, but it makes brute stronger characters such as Nightmare and Astaroth seem more powerful as they battle.
The online play is my only gripe with it, but very minimal. Occassionally you'll have difficultly getting a good connection, and I've fought in matches where I've watch it drop from a perfect 5 down to a 2. Also I would have liked to see tag team matches for online play, but something to look forward to for SC5.
And lastly, Yoda and Darth? How could you not have them fight each other?!?! Here's hoping for a download patch. Overall though, Soul Calibur 4 is quite possibly the best fighting game of the year.
