Soul Calibur IV
Reviewer: CVG29 August 2008Namco also promise newcomers and a guest character, similar to Spawn, Link and Heihachi from the console versions of Soul Calibur 2. If you're still not satisfied, Soul Calibur 3's customisation mode is back with more of everything you'll need to build your own fighters. Character creation aside, Soul Calibur 3 was the series' sole misstep, looking slightly dated on the PS2 and featuring a raft of overpowered characters. Balance is high on the agenda for IV: SC3 was... Read more

Along with Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur IV is probably one of the most anticipated fighting games in recent years and the series first outing on the new generation of consoles. But will the game be able to live up to all the expectations of fans? Read more

Don't be fooled by the number. What we have here is technically the fifth game in the long running fighting franchise. Prior to the first game bearing the Soul Calbur moniker (in arcades and on Dreamcast), there was Soul Blade (aka Soul Edge), where many of the weapon-wielding heroes on show today made their first appearances.

Soul Calibur IV Game Review (Xbox 360)
Reviewer: Ciao01 June 2009- Overall 2
I'm not a massive fan of fighting games in general and Soul Calibur 5 certainly wasn't the game that turned me. The game offers a weak, forgettable story that will do nothing to captivate you. Playing as different characters will change the motivation behind your actions within the story but will do little to nothing to persuade you to replay the game from a plot point of view. The game is supposed to allow you to develop a character and though you can customize... Read more

To join in with the general consensus, this is a great stylish and fun fighting game. There is much to do here for one, the characters are very beautifully rendered and the game works fantastically on the 360. The fights are fun, fast and the computer always provides the right level of challenge so things remain fresh. Of course one warning: the Apprentice in Single Player Arcade is unexpectedly hard. Besides that, lightsabering is inevitably a riot. XBOX LIVE play makes... Read more

Soul Calibur IV review
Reviewer: Nick, Tracy and Matt's Blog21 September 2008Similar to it’s predecessors Soul Calibur IV continues the barrage of fast paced violence and continued onslaught of over endowed scantily clad female protagonists that many gamers have come to love of the lifespan of this somewhat iconic albeit miss spelled franchise.

Soul Calibur IV
Reviewer: Boomerang Video Game Rental Online08 September 2008- Overall 8
It's not exactly pick up and play, it definitely helps to learn all the combos you can. The game's pretty fun in single player, very fun in multiplayer, BUT, online is a bit of a shambles. Most people you enter a game with will quit, meaning you have to start again. Now maybe i'm just bad at it, but it seems to me that it was near impossible to win. I expect it's because only the good players stick around for long online. I didn't much care for character creation, i'll... Read more
