Reviews
“…Soulcalibur V is at its absolute best with friends, when it's testing
your skill, reaction times and trash talking ability. The combat is still great
and the graphics are still beautiful. Outside of that, it's a slight
disappointment, as this is the weakest single player experience in the series
yet.” 7.5/10 – IGN
“Several new faces and game mechanics make SoulCalibur V the most robust
chapter in this 3D weapon-based fighting series…Fans looking to relive the
experience of SoulCalibur's early entries may be irked by this game's new
additions. But once the steep learning curve is surmounted, you will find a
fresh-yet-familiar fighting system that's fun to explore.” 7.5/10 –

“..Soul Calibur V enjoys its triumphs, most notably the strong online
element, as well as its shortfalls, such as the flat story and relative dearth
of extra content. In spite of its mostly positive gameplay tweaks, though,
it's in no real danger of reinventing the wheel. That's OK with us. In this
fifth installment, Soul Calibur is as easy to enjoy as it ever was, and it
brings with it enough new stuff to more than justify its existence.” 87/100
