soulcalibur4review

okay so so far i have played soulcalibur for a day and unlocked all characters minus this one thats inbetween vader and his apprentice but no one seems to know who it is im gonna review this game in point form and go from that http://solarspot.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/sc4boxart2.jpg

pro's

-okay soo off bat one thing that needs to be sead the game looks beautiful and has amazing and many graphical stand outs they just look really amazing enough sead


-the ending movies tho some of them are corny and to short others are really amazing and really cool the fact u can unlock or get 3 differnt opening's to the game and hidden movies like vader vs mitsurugi and the speach befor u fight algol or nightmare or siegfried

-another neet thing is the story line bomb drop this is ***spoiler alert ****soo dont read on this if u dont wanna ruin it.. its not much of a spoiler i supose but if u beat the game with the apprentice it goes to a clip were he chooses to leave soul edge/calibur behind then goes to vader and says i deem'ed it to have no value ...vader force chokes him then he reach's for his saber while being choked vader lets him go and says is this what u want and then they both draw there sabers and start to fight then it cuts to a line of text stating how he lived and were he traveled from there is a story for another day ... soo basicly its hinting on force unleashed witch i thought was really cool

-online play is really fun tho sometimes getting a game isnt to easy unless u make it ur self

-the story mode is short u only do 5 match's befor the end boss but the match's are differnt u usually fight ur first match like you and a partner or a tag member vs 4 other guys or sometimes 1 on 4 and the way it works is everytime u kill one of them the new one comes out and fights you then the second match is usually the same minus a fighter or what not then the 3 match is one of the special director or guess artist characters then it goes to u vs 3 then u fight the last boss or boss's

- the armor breaking is neet tho u dont notice it half the time its neet

-the finish's like the critical finish there cool only becuz there not easy to do u have to do this it took me awhile only cuz i skipped reading then had to go back and read it anyways what happins is when a person block's to much this jewl by there life guard changes color it goes from blue to green to brown to red the guard flash's then when u hit them ull see something look like it breaks and they will be stunned for a second if u push a special button when this happins u do a critical finish soo it takes alot of work to do one but they are worth it kinda

con's!

- the boss.. there isnt an endboss really the boss is one of 3 people ether nightmare seigfried or algol it seems like its broken up into sections like 1/3 will fight nightmare 1/3 algol and well u get the point its lame theres not a boss that stands out cuz algol just seems like a character with a new fighting style not someone i would deem super end boss materal like abyss was way harder nightterror was way way harder even inferno and soul edge him self were harder soo harder boss that stands out it would have been nice if it was nightterror again but yah

-the new adventure mode its not like the one in soul calibur 3 witch i enjoi'ed heck i even liked the one in 2 because it was similar to soul calibur 1 but yeah they canned it for this fighting a fix'ed number of people its really honnestly kinda lame instead of handy cap's or interesting challanges they tell you hey theres 3 treasure chest's here guess how u get the tressure they dont tell u how u just kinda have to guess its lame like i unlocked the first 2 box's on this first level then i think i unlocked 5 other ones in todal its lame i had to get perfect in all my fights was one then another one was i had to switch my characters 2 times in one match and then another one was proforming a ring out or breaking there armor they dont tell u and its really stupid and btw the stuff in the box's is ur armor for ur create a character soo u better hope to hell u find out how to get them

-brings me to my next point the armors unlocking it sucks! i cant figure out a fast way to do it soo i dunno i havent had much time to play around but so far i cant find much more armor then i already have witch isnt very much soo im kinda bummed and hope theres alot more im missing but the create a character is really cool even tho thats the case

-the fact that story mode is only 5 match's long is good but also kinda lame makes the game play really short but again it goes 2 ways

- the swords! big big issue here okay soo to change ur sword in any other game u select it befor u fight in this game u have to go to the create a character mode and physicaly make a new costume for ur fave character with that sword and thats the case for every guy in the game its really lame

- the fighting styles theres only 20 something its high 20's i think for every main character in the game theres a fighting style but in soul calibur 3 there was every main character plus like 3 extra for every class witch was sooo nice now its kinda lame to make a custum guy and have him fight like nightmare when i want him to play as a guy with a big sword like that with a differnt style... so to sum it up soul calibur 4 had 20 something styles while soul calibur 3 had like 30-40 styles an soul calibur 3 was a ps2 game..

- oh okay i forgot to mention this in the sword place but now were at it its kinda stand alone okay lets say i want a new weapon on voldo like his best weapon unless i change other parts of his clothing i will suck ass in combat cuz they do this thing were everything in the game represents something like that pair of glass's yah they look right for ur guy but if u wear them ull go down to only having 75% health at the bigging of every match instead of 100% it might not be that darastic but beleave me everything adds up and it gets annoying in the end soo basicly the best weapon in the game or for that guy could make ur guy hit like a tank but ur guy could be killed in 2 hits by any guy with a large ax that might happin to come along

- another thing usually people are bitchy about new characters or the special characters being over powered like spawn necrid blah well it seems like vader and apprentice are under powered well atleast vader the apprentice is alittle more well usable but vader is slow as hell and most of his good attacks or combo's are in the force power catagory soo u end up not being able to attack well at times oh and most people doing forward down and the B button smack the person into the air vader stabs at you its lame its a nice attack but lame that its in that spot

- vader and the apprentice they dont tie into the story at all like if u read my earlyer blog about how they shouldnt have hate well guess what i nailed the story right on the head with one of my guesses they went to the planet because they felt something in the force it was soul calibur and edge but the thing is no other characters tell there story like if u play as mitsurugei (sorry if i spelled it wrong) he never mention's coming across vader even tho its been made quiet clear that they have a rivalry in the game heck in story mode u dont ever fight apprentice only in arcade and u only have to play that once to fight him and when u fight him as vader its really really hard to beat him i had to be cheap as hell to beat him and i bearly did it


soo over all i think i guess thats enough hate but point is its still a really fun soul calibur game others might seem alittle more fun but this still has a place in heart and is worth the check out but if u plan on buying it i suggest trying to buy the collectors addition like i did it comes with a Tshirt that is an xl in mine it came with a felt pen a poster a card and a comic book with art in the end of it it was worth the extra little bit of cash it comes in this rad metal or tin box that looks awsome soo if u pick the game up get it collectors addition style plus it comes with extra armors and shit soo it says but over all i am happy with my purchas and enjoy it soo let me no what u think or if u have tryed it and yep haha anyways ciao for now gamers
