The Hachiko:
The game features a total of 29 characters, ranging from original offerings to brand-new characters. You'll find old school regulars like Voldo, Ivy, Nightmare, and Taki, but there are also a few of the most recently introduced characters, such as Tira, Amy, and Zasalamel. The game even features two new characters that join the Soulcalibur team: original creation Dampierre and God of War's very own Kratos. Dampierre is a kooky Frenchman who wields hidden blades and features a loose and silly fighting style most similar to that of Voldo. Dampierre is a decent character, but does take some time to get good with. Kratos, meanwhile, is a beast and seemingly manages to kick my butt any time I go up against him. Kratos feels a little awkward as a character joining the Soulcalibur franchise, as he feels like just as much a cash-in as characters like Spawn and Link that have come before. Kratos, however, is a more natural fit than say Yoda and Darth Vader, so at least that silliness is behind the franchise it seems.
Assassin's Creed's Ezio and The Witcher's Geralt have been excellent guest characters in the Soul Calibur series.
Phil writes, "If you've been around SuperPhillip Central for a little while (it's still okay if you haven't, so no harm done), then you know that I like talking about underrated and overlooked games. I've done various series on the subject. However, most of the time, the games mentioned in these articles are from wholly new or overlooked franchises themselves.
There are also a multitude of series that I can think of that have one, two, or a handful of games in it that aren't viewed as highly as the others, whether just or not.
These ideas are where the concept of All-Star Franchises, Underrated Entries comes from, and since our 13th edition, I've come up with six more underrated entries to big-time franchises, some bigger than others."
Carl Williams writes, "In video games, we don’t see too many crossover events. It is probably due to the fact that video game companies are quite litigious with each other. That is a shame, though, as it would be interesting to see more gaming crossover events that are not Super Smash Bros or a Capcom and SNK fighting game. While it was a little bit of work, we have tracked down five awesome gaming crossovers that you have forgotten about."
I don't know if I should get this. I have never played soul caliber, is it like tekken?
ok thanks for the info, I am seriously thinking about getting it now :)
Get it, you wont regret it. I already have the import and its a nice addition to your fighting game collection on the psp. Ive been waiting for years for a psp rendition and they came out with something that blew my mind off. With graphics almost at par with the ps2 and the controls spot on i have no complaints whatsoever with this game.
