  • Theres no team battle mode
  • Story mode is short and disappointing

  • Truly splendid visuals with plenty of colour, Fast-paced fighting with tight controls
  • The same game youve been playing for years, lacklustre online play and boring Story modes
  • This is a good game, but not a great one. I hope that the next Soul Calibur truly reinvigorates the look, feel, and energy of this majestic series. ...

  • 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...

  • Lots of characters, including a treat for Star Wars fans, looks incredible, brutal action by the bucket load
  • It’s still just a beat-em up
  • A real treat both on and offline, on your own and with some chums. This one packs a real hefty punch...
