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...
An exceptional sequel that builds upon its predecessors depth and introduces online multiplayer to the series.
Online play is smooth and hasslefree
Plenty of different characters
Plus you can make your own
Gameplay is accessible for newcomers and has plenty of depth for veterans

Looks great.
Incredible cast of characters
Amazing createacharacter
Tons to see and do
Accessible by any any skill of gamer
Star Wars fans will love playing as Yoda
Darth Vader
And the Apprentice. Online is great for current Soulcalibur fans to enjoy.
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
Occasional online hiccups.
Theres no team battle mode
Story mode is short and disappointing
You cant pit Yoda against Darth Vader
Yet.
Online can lag at times
Some characters are simply palette swaps
The game sure has slowed down in comparison to Soulcalibur IIs speed.
The graphics are gorgeous and characters are nicely detailed. The game play is solid with an intuitive combat system. Relatively easy online multiplayer capability, and the ability to create your own or modify an existing character is a definite bonus too...
The moves for Darth Vader and Yoda could have been a bit more impressive, utilizing “The Force” somehow. There is no ability to break stuff in the game environment. Armour seems difficult to unlock. Some moves really do require the arcade stic...
Abstract: Now this is a game that’s been getting a lot of attention (not least from our own humble website). With the announcement that Yoda and Darth Vader would join the usual ranks of swordsmen, axe wielders, and pole bearers, the game suddenly got noticed by...
Abstract: Console games are not something that we would typically cover here on tracyandmatt but when Namco got in touch with me a couple of months ago about the release of the fourth chapter of Soul Calibur I agreed to do a review for them.Similar to it’s prede...
Im sorry to report that Soul Calibur IV is fundamentally the same game as Soul Calibur III, only with more fighters, an online mode, and more create-a-character customizations. Its remarkably well produced and visually sumptuous, but its appeal rema...
An amazingly deep and beautiful fi ghting experience, marred by a couple of unnecessary characters, but essential nonetheless. If the online modes simulate the feeling of a traditional one-onone battle, we’ll be in combat heaven. 8.9/10Print this pa...
Looks absolutely stunning, Great customization options, Character creation is impressive, Deep combat system, Well-balanced online play options, Story mode is short and fun
No destructable environments, Character creation doesnt allow for facial/physique reconstruction
Once you get the hang of things and the various technicalities sink in, however, you’re bound to give the customization a shot. The sheer scale of customization is truly impressive, as the game allows you to unlock weapons and equipment as you progr...
Abstract: Het is jammer genoeg niet altijd mogelijk om alle toppers gelijk op de releasedatum, of eerder binnen te krijgen. Soms zijn er dan wel eens reviews die een beetje laat online komen. Soul Calibur IV is zo’n game die een beetje laat aankwam. Gelukkig is ...
Abstract: Enligt Viktor bjuder Soulcalibur V inte bara på ögongodis utan det är även ett spel som är lätt att komma in i men ändå erbjuder en djup kontroll. Soulcalibur-serien var en av de första fightingspel jag verkligen fastnade för. Många andra fighters hade...
