blog post: Soul Calibur 4-Got it EARLY

posted on July 26, 2008 @ 11:16 pm

I love my local game store. I got this 2 days ago, got it early. I love it so far.

Here is a bit of a preview.

Graphics 9.5
Really astounding. The texture work and the design of both the backgrounds and characters is excellent.

Gameplay: 8.5
I enjoy some of the new skills in the skills system and the ability to not only make characters look different but trully be different with an almost RPG style skill system is very enjoyable.

Music/Sounds 8: Lets be honest its Soul Calibur, the bombastic music is just like all the Soul Calibur's before it and so are the sound effects. Making a return is the cheesy storyline narrated by the announcer from the previous games. The music is various orchastra peices.


Pro's
Graphics.
Create a Character system actually makes characters LOOK like they were originally created by the game.
Tons of stages.
Tons of characters.

Con's
I actually feel that the music could be better with a switchup.
The story...well it makes less sense that previous Soul Calibur games...which is almost impossible.
Yoda rocks, but the inability to adjust the Star Wars characters is a horrid idea.
The Tower part of the game...is horrid. It does not flow well nor is it very enjoyable.
