REVIEW
Very fun game This game is very polished and balanced, and I think fans of fighting games as well as casual gamers can enjoy it. Novice and expert fighters seem to have close battles more often, unlike Dead or Alive where experts always clobber novices, or the opposite end in Smash Bros. where the battles can be very random. Also you can make your own character and the online mode is pretty good, but not amazing. There's no online tag team and it's one-on-one fights only, but at least you can spectate when it's not your turn and there's not a lot of lag. Unlocking things like new weapons, characters, stages, and clothes is very rewarding.
The graphics deserve special mention. They're probably the best I've seen in a video game ever, with emotive and nuanced facial animation, antialiasing, blur, heat effects, and 1080p running at 60 fps. If you have an HDTV, this game will surely impress. The sound isn't nearly as amazing but there are some catchy songs in the soundtrack and the voice overs and weapon effects are decent. Yoda and the Apprentice are cheap, but beatable and it didn't seem as important as many other reviewers said it was.

REVIEW
A classic fighter with tons of replay value. I can recommend this game for the character customization aspect alone, but it doesn't hurt that the fighting engine plays just as seamlessly as it did when the first Soul Calibur was released. If you're a fan of fighting games at all, you owe it to yourself to get this game. The only gripe is the lackluster story mode and lack of online tag team, but I'm willing to overlook those shortcomings in light of such brilliant gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and engaging customizations.

REVIEW
Soul Calibur IVis still a great game. I have played Soul Calibur 1-4. This is a great fighting game, but mainly for multiplayer action. The story itself is way too short and I wished it would have been longer and more meaningful. Actually I would not consider this a story, it is almost like SC3 but with a new boss.
Challenges are great when you fight multiple character's(1 at a time) before you can progress.
A highly improved character creation and weapons upgrade, far exceeding SC3. Each piece of costume and acessories has it's pros and cons of adding it to your character, so you must balance your characer the best you can.
The tower is the most challenging part of this game, it can get very difficult as you progress.
I recommend buying this game for any Soul Calibur fan out there. It may not be the original many have loved on the Dreamcast, but it is still something you will enjoy on the PS3
Newcomers to the Soul Calibur franchise may not feel up to par with this game, but its a definate rental for you guys.
Specifically designed to enhance the fighting game experience. Replicating the look and feel of an arcade!
