Soul Calibur IV Hands-On

Posted on March 21st, 2008 at 05:18 EDT

(continued from previous page) ...the biggest one. After playing with her in the next match, we came to the conclusion that she was quite difficult to get to grips with. Although rife with innuendo, it's true; the only 'easy' combos were her kicks.

The whole experience with this particular telling of this tale of souls and swords eternally retold left us wanting so much more. The slight lack of button bashing drew us in further then the second instalment, as witnessing our opponent playing as Mitsurugi showed that, although slightly difficult to grasp, the rewards were definitely worthwhile. That, and the prospect of the game running in full HD resolution should be enough to get any gamer worth their salt watering at the mouth.

Soul Calibur is back, and it's ready to take on Street Fighter IV.

Surely the lightsabre would cut straight through everybody elses weapons (with the exception of the Soul swords) saying that our metals may have a higher density than those of Yoda/Vaders galaxy. Hopefully this with all be cleared up by NamcoBandai, they could also tell us weither the Soul Calibur and Tekken universes are connected (do the Soul swords exist today)

Taurus...sure you have some valid points, but it's really not worth discussing. Yeah a Lightsabre would cut through all the weapons (apart from maybe the magically charged ones) etc etc etc, but it's just a cool little feature to be able to play as Vader or Yoda, same as it was with Link, Heihachi and Spawn in II. And if it was completely true to cannon and/or real life, it wouldn't be balanced.

My question is, if they said the build of the game looked low-res, are they saying it looked like the pics here? 'cause they don't look low-res to me...

Instead of doing Yoda and Vadar they should've gone with platform exclusives like they did with Soul Calibur 2. Something like Master Chief for 360 and Kratos for us. Now that would've been amazing Being able to play as the God of War!
