I love this game even though like all games it has its faults. I think that the storylines need to be longer and they need to bring back the button combos for the end scenes so you can see the good and evil parts. (Unless they already did that I apoligize)
Fun like Crazy for it.

If we were all robots know one would love this game , we`d all embrace this game which with love is what were doing right now. I cant say love enough for a game with yoda, a ninja, and a robot samurai dude and if thats not enough, does an intense gameplay controlls and concept live up. But hey its another win to the fighting game community, a agreat win in fact. So great of a game i even see my grandparents play it now and then. And unless youre older than them or alergic to fun, id say if soulcaliber got anybetter it`ll float and link with your mind(though that make the game scary fun).
Best one since the 1st...

I am having a LOT of fun with this game, I have always been a fan of the series, but the second one was worse than the 1st, and the 3rd even worse. Soul Calibur IV brought the series back. Same classic gameplay, awesome graphics, and many new features. I have no big complaints with any of the characters, and the gameplay is as good as can be. I really love the character creation feature. You can create your own version of any original character in the game, there are so many features to it though. I made many representations of me and my friends as different characters. Overall It was a very good game, and anyone interested in the genre should definitely check it out.
Great Fighter Game...

The game is a great fighting genre game and fun to play online as well. The biggest issue with Soul Calibur IV is the story mode, because of the issue that the story mode is more about reading than actually a indepth story about each character, which takes away from this game. Now it doesn't take away from the game that much since the game is one of the best fighting games out at this time.
The Game Is Good, I Just Suck At It...

I'll tell you, I've never been good at the SoulCalibur games, I don't know what it is. I can play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat no problem, but just can't win when it comes to SC.
Until o fcourse Yoda came along. Man what a CHEAP character he is. Too short for normal attacks yet powerful enough to beat everyone with a couple of moves. I like the option to play as him and pwn everyone online, but I can't take it when Tenacious cries about it, so I've retired him.
Worthy game if you like the franchise, cool to play as Yoda and the Apprentice (another ridiculously cheap character). But if you don't like fighting games or in particular the SC franchise, probably best to leave it alone!
