    Soulcalibur returns with the same deep fighting system and a new online mode that makes it an easy game to recommend. Yoda and Vader invade this video review for Soulcalibur 4. Though it wasn't possible when SoulCalibur IV arrived in stores, Darth Vader and Yoda can now be pitted against each other regardless of which platform you're playing on. Adding an extra Star Wars character to your roster isn't free, though, and at around five dollars it's not great value either. Read more

    Everyone's got their favourite genres. Everyone's got their favourite gaming platform. There are as many different tastes as there are stars in the damn sky. So its no surprise when I say I'm one of those stars in the sky, more specifically, the star that likes beating the crap out of people with exaggerated weapons while wearing nothing more then a thong and a piece of string. Well, I'd rather not, but apparently that's all the ladies of Soul Calibur need. Read more

    SC4 features a mix of single player modes and online play to keep players busy. Like all fighting games; there is typically an arcade mode where you need to battle through 8 rounds of increasing difficulty. A story mode has been included where you can play out the tale of the two swords - Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, from the perspective of the chosen character. However it must be said that this mode is very short, with only 5 rounds in each story. Although short there is... Read more

    a vast range of characters and fighting styles. story mode is far to short and lacks alot of cut scenes. COOL playing as yoda and the apprentice. the game isn't polished, but the end result was good enough. YODA RULES. Read more

    While some might find the price a bit expensive, It does pay for itself in the improvement you get in controls in fighting and arcade games. It allows you pull off moves a lot easier than the standard Xbox 360 controller. Works with all 360 fighting games. Read more

  3. Outstanding fighting game and You can be Yoda to boot!

    Honestly, only reason I put this in my console was to play as yoda. Now that I have, i'm diggin it. Will absolutely be playing this again. Fighting system is balanced and well thought out. Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360) (Video Game) I usually LOVE fighting games, and after seeing Yoda on the front of this I thought it should be good, how ever... playing it is another story. This game is actually so terrible that the company who makes it should actually be paying people to play it, instead of people buying it. The game offers no challenge even on harder settings, you can repeatedly press Y over and over and just plough through the... Read more
