Soul Calibur
Dreamcast
Namco

Soul Calibur is great looking and playing fighting game. It is the sequel to Soul Blade (or Soul Edge). It is a weapon based fighting game set in pseudo-middle ages. The characters range from knights and barbarians to ninjas and samurais. The graphics are gorgeous and the animations are awe-inspiring. The controls are simple and effective. There are many game modes, Arcade, Versus, and Mission Mode. In Mission Mode you fight battles that have certain objectives and earn points to buy pictures that may unlock new characters and features. After everything is unlocked you will have twice as many characters available and all the new characters are from other Namco games. Soul Calibur is easily the best fighting game on Dreamcast and I can't think of any way the game could be improved! It is as close to perfect as a fighting game can be!

Score: 9.9
