Soul Calibur
Reviewed by Aristotle
Soul Calibur, I thought would never surpass the Mortal
Kombat series. When my sister introduced it to me, I wasn't
really that excited to play it and get into it. It looked
really stupid, if you asked me. Heck, there wasn't even any
blood in it! Little did I know that there need not be blood
to make a good fighting game.
The Graphics are some of the best I've ever seen in my
personal gaming life, yeah, of course, blah-blah. They darn
well better be, if it is th all-new, most powerful Dreamcast
gaming console. Moving on to some more important areas...
The Sound and Music are some of the best that I thought a
fighting game could ever possibly possess. You can hear
EVERY, SINGLE SOUND that the fighters make, and the music is
awesome, sometimes I just kick back and not play to just
listen to the music!!
The Difficulty is just my level. Not too hard, but
definitely not too easy, I love the difficulty of this game.
It isn't one of those games that you could never beat in
less than five years, but it isn't like others where you can
beat it in ten minutes. And there are about six difficulty
settings, which adds to the excitement and your skill level.
The Controls are awesome, just awesome. Being the new,
high-tech, complicated Dreamcast controller, you'd think
that all the buttons are complex. Really, they're not, four
attack buttons, a block button, four directional buttons,
and a Soul Charge button. They also fit perfectly into your
hand, unlike the MK games for N64.
The Story is the best I have ever had the privilege of
witnessing. Each and every character of the game has a
separate story to tell, and they all have many different
endings to the game. And they are all different, not the same!
Overall, I love this game, it is one of the best I have ever
played. It is reason alone to get a Dreamcast for full
price. If you have just SC, you can throw all of your Mortal
Kombat games out the window! Every kind of person will like
this game, my sister never liked the Mortal Kombat series.
Then she got into Soul Calibur. The main reason for this is
because there is no blood or gore, which doesn't really
impact gameplay all that much, except that more parents will
permit it. Ignore the Teen rating, because the worst thing
you see is probably a person getting slashed with a whip.
All factors considered, Soul Calibur is a great, great game.

Final Thought: If you like Mortal Kombat, you would only be
hurting yourself to not pick up a copy of this great game
Soul Calibur, made by Namco.
