Soul Calibur II - Software Publisher's Description:
Soul Calibur II review:5 stars (This Game Rocks!!) - Soul Caliber 2 is one of the best fighting games ever. The graphics are AMAZING. The detail put into the characters is uncanny. The gameplay is flawless. The game was released on all three major platforms and features a different unique character to each. On the XBox version, there is Spawn, the great Marvel comics character.
The mission sequence of this game is great and I love how you can buy different weapons for your characters. Each weapon has a different strength and ability. There really is no downfall to this game at all. The selection of characters is great and all the characters have great back stories.
If you enjoyed the first Soul Caliber, then you will definitely love this game. It has the most REALISTIC graphics and gameplay. The only other game series I would compare it to is DOA.5 stars (SOUL CALIBUR 2, REVIEW NUMBER 2) - I wrote a review on november 9th, 2002 after I had played it for the first time at a friends house. But, for some reason beyond me, only bought the game very recently. I wish I was still punching myself for not buying it sooner. I had'nt reallised all the other stuff! You know, that review was only from playing multiplayer at a friends house, and I still said it deserved a ten, rather then the 5 star max that the site offers, wich onestly, dose'nt suit the games buffness.
It's the only fighting game I own, but it's buffness has spurred me to try others, like MK, or DOA, or esspecialy, Tekken seeing as how it was made by namco, the creater of soul calibur. At first, there was only one reason I wanted to get it. Ivy. Christmas on a cracker is she hot! And it was'nt just her, pretty much every woman in sc2 is hot, Talim, Seung Mina, you name it, there hot.
I would recomend Ivy as a starting character as well. She's got a nice flow, good attack, and very powerfull, but easy to learn combos. I would have to recomend Talim for weapon master though. She's got a very fast attack wich can get you out of a pickle with alot of tough bosses. And for multiplayer, xiaun ghua, god, I hope I selled that right. All you have to do is get close, and just constantly, do a barrage of kick, vertical, and horrizontle attack in no purticular order, and your friends will be flailing there controllers down to the floor, screaming in frustation.
And going back to weapon master, its what makes this game grate. Giving it a story line, leaning flavor to when your trying to finsh it at 2 o'clock in the morning, and, as the name of mode might suggest, unlocking weapons for your character. Also, weapon master is the only way you can unlock new characters. Not that thats a bad thing. Also, if your having trouble with an inperticular character, play weapon master with them. It will get you well atunned to them.
Overall, sc2 should be a part of any xbox collection. But don't let that disgurish you from buying it if you have a ps2 or gamecube, im shure it's great on those systems too. 5 stars (Freaking cool!) - This game is awesome. If you are any kind of fan of fighting games from avid to beginner you will love this game. While most fighting games only give you half a game this has it all. Great graphics, as good as dead or alive series, the movements and character detail are exceptional. There is nothing like the feeling when you pull a really cool combo and then see yourself standing there looking like the victor. Also the stages are very well done but dont draw the attention away from the fight. Then there is the rest of the game. As most fighting games have an arcade, time attack, survival, and some versus battling this one does also. Though that is only the basics then there is the weapon master mode. This is like a storyline to follow by going to different stages and battling. To keep it even more challenging it gives you handicap games like when you are poisoned or your opponent has a team and such. It is very fun and challenging. It gives you enough to play for months of replay. I found that once i went through the game I just went back to try and unlock all the extras. And are there extras. With weapons out the wazoo for all the characters. Also many new characters and some from the first game. Including spawn who is extremely cool with his axes and saying "your pissing me off" after every battle. Still there are more extras. with art gallerys and demo battles which show the glamor and the sensuality of the game which is in very good taste. This is a must buy that will remain next to your x-box for a while.
