First SoulCalibur IV Review: MEGamers

DMC4, MGS4 and GTA IV received some rave and excellent reviews from every corner in the gaming world. SoulCalibur IV, to the relief of the series' fans, is following those footsteps as well. Some eye popping graphics bundled with a deep variety of gameplay styles and an extremely appealing modification mode make SoulCalibur IV one of, if not the, best game in the glamorous series so far.

ah, yeah. that's the kind of score I want to see.

[UnSelf]

oh man 9.5??!?!?!? THATS F*CKING AWESOME, SIEGFRIED, IVY, HILDEGARD AND KILIK HERE I COME!!! (fav chars btw)

[badz149]

I expected something like 8.5 to 9.0 for this but 9.5?? really? it's a fighting game and from the videos shown before, it's nowhere near jaw dropping or even genre defining! it's even more underwhelm in the comparison videos with the 1st SC! I'll wait until after release for better view of the game - which is the gamer's point of view!

[Nitrowolf2]

9.5 dam that a great score
im not extremly hyped up about this game, but im still going to get it.

[Chuk5]

That's what im talking about!Excellent score!Can't wait till the 29th! Especially since my copy is pre-ordered,I'm ready to rock and roll!Kilk ftw!

[MK_Red]

Hopefully the game is as good as the score and can become a true classic like original Soul Calibur.

[Harry190]

Soul Edge better.

[Polluted]

@harry190: You mean Soul Blade? The PS1 game? I thought it was called Soul Blade, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I liked the PS1 game, the Dreamcast game and SC2 for PS2, Gamecube and Xbox. SC3 kind of sucked, but I'm hoping they can remedy that with this new game.

@MK I hope your right.I'm very excited about Soul calibur 4,a game that could innovate the fighting genre once again

[mistertwoturbo]

One thing that's really impressive is the true "next-gen" graphics that no fighter has yet delivered.

[Mr Fancy Pants]

Dead or Alive 4 looks beautiful. and this comment comes from a sony fanboy!

[hay]

I don't care about the visuals. It's all about how game's playable.

[Mr Fancy Pants]

so far so good. ;-)

[big shadow]

I wasn't expecting such a high score.

[sushipoop]

I'll wait for the rest of the reviews.

[Mr Fancy Pants]

i just have played soul calibur games casually but it seems that SC4 it's going to be the first that i am going to actually buy! well, it all depends if the PS3 version has online... it has online?

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Yes it does.Lag free with no console stress.360 on the other hand...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME...

...wait...

...I think I've already played it...

...except it was called Tekken in the arcades...

...or was it Street Fighter...

...or maybe Dead or Alive...

Who knows...

[Horny]

i might get it, not sure yet though

[Solid_Snake]

wait for this title! I've been looking forward to it for awhile.

[1stKnighT]

Fantastic! I was a lil worried since Soul Calibur 3 which was exclusive to the ps2 was a huge flop. I'm glad that this franchise is back on track. Easily one of the best tactical fighter next to VF.

[ROCCOZILLA]

man,i cant wait to take VADER online!!!its gonna be sick.ONLINE INSANITY!!!

[Cusco]

Soul Calibur 3 was not a huge flop. 1stKnighT you fail. If you want alot more info on this game, head over to gamefaqs, I know, it's gamefaqs, but alot of people already have it and you can ask questions about movesets and CaS.
cheers
