Soul Calibur Review

The Year is 1999, What is this white thingy? When I press the green one I swing my mighty sword at Lizardman! You see, this was my first time playing Soul Calibur, It's one of the oldest times I can remember.

Originally released in the arcades running on the Namco System 12 hardware, Soulcalibur was ported to the Dreamcast with improved graphics and new features. Soulcalibur was later released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008.

The Dreamcast port is often cited as the greatest fighting game of all time, and even one of the greatest games across all genres; it is ranked as one of the best games of all time by review aggregator site GameRankings.

GAMEPLAY:

You can kill you opponent in 2 ways, very similar to other 3D fighters. A KO, Or a Ring-Out.

Now, where the variety comes in is, Swords. These little toothpicks can be quite cool to watch.

And just as a little fact, Soul Calibur is compatible with the DC Fishing Rod. true fact.

GRAPHICS:

At this time HDTVs didn't exist! But, if they did, it'd look like today's games.

This game is an eye-popper, just mesmerizing.

Amazing, Nuff said.
