The graphics of the game are superb. The game play takes time getting used to like most fighting games
But it is solid (save a few balance issues). The online playability with standard and homegrown characters offers a lot of replay factor to the game ma...

The editors didn't like
There are a few characters with some balance issues that "Force" their way into the game. I am not naming any names
But Lord knows a few need some polishing. On top of that I do wish for two other things
The opening "text" storyline for each character n...
Non-canon fighters are largely imbalanced or throw-away

Abstract: SoulCalibur IV doesn’t stir up the pot too much, offering mostly the same gameplay as previous entries. Fortunately, the franchise has it down to a science, and the addition of online play further sweetens the deal.
Abstract: Albeit they are a fun addition, Darth Vader, Yoda, and The Apprentice have taken center stage with a few kinks in their repertoire of maneuvers. Darth Vader comes off as a slow old man that strikes with a lot of power, but doesn’t have the right amount...

Soulcalibur returns with the same deep fighting system and a new online mode that makes it an easy game to recommend. ...

Namco-Bandais fighting game series is an established fan favorite, and Soulcalibur IV is no exception. Instead of narrowing down the focus to one perspective, were combining the efforts of two brawling editors, Sterling McGarvey and Miguel Lopez, to ...
Abstract: Like this story?Buzz it up on Yahoo! Buzz. As someone who's - as the years march on -- become less interested in how utterly hardcore a fighting game can be and more concerned with how a game can move the genre forward, I'm glad to say that Soul Calib...
