Soul Calibur IV (Platinum)

This game is pure ownage! You can design your own character with moves based of an original character and play through arcade or story modes. There's also the Tower, where you play through floors unlocking items for your characters and fight your way to the top. You can even take your custom characters online! Just beware the people are online are pretty good lol.

The graphics in this game are amazing. The characters, the armour the weapons are so detailed. Since I love Soul Calibur im giving it a 10/10! If you haven't played any other Soul Calibur games I'd still recommend picking it up! SWEET

Namco have made a game that is easy to get into, but provides plenty of depth for those who want it.

Most moves require a minimal number of button presses, so are easier to learn than other fighting games. The challenge is instead to know when to use a particular attack, which is how it should be. Character abilities help to add a little more unpredictability to the mix.

The basic story, training and arcade modes are all present. The Tower of Souls mode is an interesting addition, and should provide a good challenge to more determined players.

Graphically the game is excellent, with beautifully rendered characters. I have hardly ever noticed clipping occur, despite the amount of equipment jutting off some of the characters. The stages are also very detailed, although some of the most impressive looking ones are not used at all in the story mode.

I'm very happy I eventually picked up this game. If you want a good fighting game, but find Street Fighter 4 too unaccessible, then this is probably the game for you.

Totally worth it! With a myriad of combos unique to each weapon set, unlimited character customization, basically the best arcade fighter I have ever played, it will not disappoint, as someone who hasn't played any previous soul calibur, it takes a few hours to learn how to fight properly but after that, the fun begins. Awesome for playing with friends and can entertain for days on end (believe me I've done it!). Truly a great game
