good but not as good as past titles August 29, 2008
I have played all the past soul cailbur games and they always have really good modes like weapon master in two and many other modes in three but in four they removed all those modes and all they added was a tower mode that was alright and online which is alright. so i would recommend this game but you just have to know ahead of time that it is not as good as the other soul cailbur games.
 A tale of souls and swords. . . frequently retold. August 27, 2008
Ultimately a disappointing title Soul Calibur IV does not up the ante for the series as it plays itself way to safe for its first new generation outing. The core gameplay found in the Dreamcast title Soul Calibur remains the same which isn't a bad thing per se. Soul Calibur after all perfected weapons based 3d combat to an sharp sheen. Dicing and slicing your foes with all kinds of cool martial arts hardly gets old especially now as you can fight players worldwide through the PSN. Matches remain pretty smooth and lag free and it remains a fairly exciting feature as you work your way up rankings. From the beautiful visuals, tried but true gameplay, and comical guests from the Star Wars franchise, Soul Calibur IV continues to burn the soul. It won't rock your world though as the game needs some serious overhaul in terms of gameplay features.
Great fighting game- online play still has issues August 24, 2008
This is easily the best 3d fighting game out there. Balanced (for the most part) deep and engaging. Character creation mode is almost a game unto itself and the Tower of Souls game is challenging without being too much of a pain.
That said, the online play needs some work. Game matching is buggy and frustrating. If you're getting this to play online either pass or wait for an update to fix the issues.
 What an Upgrade August 23, 2008
I have been playing the Soul Caliber series since it first came out , This game is def. an upgrade from the previous ones with more in depth graphics , fighting and character creation. I would def. reccomend this game to anyone who is a fan of the series and while there is not to many next gen. fighting games around right now this is the one to def. own. Plus amazon got it to me quickly on the release date , so i have nothing bad to say...
Two steps forward, one step back August 22, 2008
Allow me to start by saying that this game is fun, but it is short lived fun. There are a vast number of characters in the game, including Darth Vader and his Apprentice (whom you have to defeat in Arcade mode using Darth in order to unlock for use). You can create your own character, or modify the characters that came with the game. You can play through all their stories, use them in arcade, try to assemble the right mix to conquer the Tower of Souls, or go online (the much touted new feature). But that's pretty much it. Unfortunately, the stories are very poorly written, often making no sense in English whatsoever. Arcade mode is relatively quick, the Tower is more difficult, with hidden goals to unlock treasures that are sometimes near impossible to achieve. Online is what you make of it, but it's never more than just fighting people that aren't sitting on the couch with you. One would have thought that with the vast capacity of a Blu-ray disc, the makers of Soul Calibur would have been able to include more features, possibly a return of the Chronicles of the Sword feature from SC3. The training mode was also unhelpful, essentially worthless. All in all, I'd reached the peak of pleasure from this game well within the time frame of a rental. Might I suggest renting this game before buying it, you may save yourself a lot of money.
