Soul Calibur

Borat_Sagdiyev

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has played the above game? I've never played any version of Soul Calibur but I'm told its worth a try.

The latest version of the game is on Play.com for €19.49 but I'd prefer to go for the best version of the game which, as everyone knows, is not always the latest version of the game.

Any info at all would be mighty, thanks!

Opinion is kind of divided, but it's safe to say that either Soul Calibur or Soul Calibur II are the best versions.

III was a mess and although I've not played it, IV is supposed to be back on the right track, but still not as good as the first two.

Do you have anyone to play these against if you do get older versions? Would get very boring in single player after a while.

At least IV has online play.

For my money, SC II is by far the best of the series.

III and IV went off the rails, as far as the single player experience goes.

SC 1&2 were the best? Terry your broken, just as much as SC1 was with every character having a 100% aerial reset lol.

SC2 was by far the best due to it's balance & replayability.

Thus said, i hate SC. xD

Virtua Fighter > Soul Cali.

Just sayin'.

Kiki thats only true wherein your willing to put in near professional level dedication and learning VF.

Soul Caliber 2 was defo the best of the series but I would say that IV does good job of recreating 2 and being a darn good game. It's good fun to play and is great with friends.

Eh.... no.

How about we talk about the OP's point though, eh guys? Which SC would you get?

I'd get 4 just based on the online capabilities since I find multiplayer by far the most important factor when it comes to fighting games - if you find that you get into the game in general then maybe backtrack and check out SC2 (not a big SC man or anything, just using common sense).

Hey all, thanks for the input - I think I'll get 2.

I'm not a fighting games playa to be honest, I've only really played SSF2 and Tekken 3 properly ( Paul is a legend in that btw ).

2 is only six quid from play, whereas 4 is €20 - if it turns out that I don't like the game, then €6 isn't much to complain about ( also, I can always just get 4 if it turns out 2 is to my liking ).

As well, 2 seems to be the best version of the game from what you lads have said.

Thanks for all the info - its now ordered!

Hey Da_Bounca, did you end up going to SVB?

Da Bounca

No dude I didn't in the end, I had a little holiday in London before hand but didn't end up staying on for svb. I saw that Hugo came in 5th overall though which I was glad to see.
