Soul Calibur V

Well in all the game was really great and it was a thrill to play! I don't really play fighter games, but this game did change my mind. The graphics are beautiful and well done- especially with HDD makes everything pop and dramatic. Almost anything is possible with Character Creation. A lot of wacky and cool items to make your dream character come true in a virtual reality is awesome! Although I won't be using a few items for a while. The game is worthy for both single and multiplayer in my opinion. Although the character you're versing may turn too easy or too hard. It wasn't much of a problem- I still played it. (Multiplayer makes XBOXLIVE more wanted.) Story Mode was a bit lazy and plain. Not worthy of a second play. The characters were brought out fast which made it slighlty confusing why that character is there. Overall it was a great game, great graphics, and is a worth a try!

I'm a huuuuuge Calibur fan. And while I'm so happy it's finally here, I will say it did not meet the love that I had for part IV. But make no mistake, this is still the best fighting game you can get on the system with or without 4 by its side.Soul Calibur 5 is not really a full fledged sequel, at least not in my eyes. Fair to say 4.5? SC 5 does so many things right. Has a much improved online system, lobbies, ranked player matches and still the amazing lag free fights. But if you're offline gamer, you might be extremely disappointed. The Story mode is short. Most should beat it in 2-3 hours. Even worse, you can't choose characters to fight with. You forced to choose a select few, and only 1 of them I happen to like using. So the game forces you to use them, and then bam, it's all over. The story itself is semi-interesting, but what about the 24+ other characters? Don't they have a back story we can learn about? Ugh. You will be mad at this especially if you're strictly an offline gamer.No Tag team mode. Again. Why, why oh why have you forsaken me Namco? Tag team modes where you could choose 2-8 guys and take on 2-8 guys was magnificent. Weren't they doing that in Part 2 for crying out loud?? Really? Arcade mode is bare boned. Basically you take on 6 fighters, then bam. Over. No story for anyone. Just a simple premise of fighting. Again. The single mode has been severely neglected. You need to ask yourself if you can deal with poor offline and stellar online.But offline suffers some more. How? I'm sure this has been mentioned, but many of the most beloved characters from 4 are gone. Sophita, Cassandra, Amy, Kilik, Rock, Seoung Mina, Setsuka, Taki, Xianghua, Yun Seong and my girl Talim are nowhere to be found. I hope and pray Namco will let us download some of our characters with some DLC online in the future. Please namco? The characters available are not as lovable as they were in 4. Some of the new guys just come off as annoying. Ezio like many have mentioned, is a nice addition to the game. He's easy to use, likable and very well balanced. I love the special moves too, they are fun and easy to pull off too.For all the bad that offline offers, there is one great bright spot. The character creation is amazing. Significantly deeper than 4, SC 5 character creation is the best yet. You can make the ultimate character with any fighting style you want and you'll probably never run into a person online who made the same character as you, it's nearly impossible. I spent 45 minutes on one character last night just perfecting every single little detail I could find. You want to change anything? Hair, a shoe, the size of a ribbon, her eyes, her eyebrows, giving a character a gut or a 6 pack, you name it, it can be done!The presentation is back in full force. Full orchestrated soundtrack, tremendous graphics and sick sick online play interface. Everything runs smooth and convincing. Speaking of online, you can now go into lobbys with full chat supported and can join casual tournaments (non ranked matches). So don't think you have to go to ranked matches to have fun online. There are casual players out there too where a win/loss record doesn't mean a thing! Make friends, and have a blast!Soul Calibur is still an amazing game. Part 5 is probably worth a look if you're a fan, as a whole, it's a bit disappointing because of the very shallow offline modes and the missing characters are making me scratch my head in curiosity what Namco was really thinking? But if you're going to focus online, it's just fine to take the SC plunge one more time. Sophitia, I miss you much!

I don't usually do very well when playing fighting games because of my slow reflexes, but this game makes playing easy even for fighting game novices while also provideing plenty of challenge for veterans. My favorite portion of the game is the create-a-fighter system; there's virtually no limit to how many characters can be created thanks to the wide array of armor, color, and voice options. The game is worth forty bucks for this feature alone, especially for those people who love to let their imagenation run wild.P.S. Please excuse any grammar errors as I don't know where the spell check is.Thank Yu...?! Nyk,Nyk,Nyk!G.J. Smith, Son of Jennie

My buddy kept telling me about this game and how much fun it was. I was never really into fighting games and I never played the previous Soul Caliburs but i decided to give this one a shot. When i received it in the mail i immediately opened it up and started playing it. I honestly didn't put this game away for like 4 hours it was so much fun. the graphics are amazing and the design of the characters are so creative. Of course it's a little frustrating when you lose but thats with most games for me. Overall i think this game is very well made and a ton of fun!

Me llego antes de la fecha maxima y el empaque en excelentes condiciones. Justo lo que buscaba con este producto en particular.

Fantastic 3D fighter, which still holds up decently even in 2021 (still 720p, but looks good on a 32" screen or smaller). Gameplay is excellent with a decent variety of characters, and a lot of stages! Highly recommended!

Great game, not as good as some of the older games of the series, the story mode feels incomplete but still damn fun to play regardless.

This game has nice graphics, nice battle system and is very fun to play with friend or online. But it has a very creepy/annoying kinda incestuous campaign story...
