Soul Calibur II

by my_nick

I love fighting games and especially the likes of Tekken, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter – so imagine my expectation and anticipation for Soul Calibur II, but does it live up to it’s hype?

Yes, and no. A few times in the past I’ve been to put it mildly disappointed when a game finally arrives- not this time. After playing it for an hour however I’m not jumping the gun like some of my game reviewing counterparts – it’s a great, but not “that” great.

Sure the graphics is smooth and the characters something to itself. It by far the easiest game to get into, and unlike any other similar game - you have a wide range of weapons to choose from. But I think it might get a bit boring a little to fast. Don’t get me wrong tough it’s probably the most fun fighting game to hit the playstation 2 for a long time, so if you played those others a hundreds time already it’s a must have. Verdict 8/10
