Button-mashing goodness!

User Rating: 8.5 | SoulCalibur IV PS3
Soul Calibur IV is my first Soul Calibur. So i didn't know what to expect from it but i picked it up and gave it a go anyway.

The graphics are pretty amazing for a fighting game, the character designs are great though the voice acting is pretty horrible same goes for that damn voice over that says "Soul Calibur IV!!!"
Reminds me of those gay ads on television.

Anyway character creation is very cool, a lot of depth in the customization. I haven't experimented that much with it but i seen some really cool characters on gametrailers and whatnot.
The addition of Darth Vador is very coool, as i am a fan of the Star Wars series this was very nice touch to the PS3 version.

The fighting is quiet entertaining as you can pretty much button mash your way to completing each character but you still need some amount of skill to beat the hard opponents like the Apprentice which is crazy hard. I gave up. Other then that It's a game anyone can pick up and just play with a mate or two.

I can't say much about the story as this is my first Soul Calibur but like most fighting games the stories are usually ignored

Overall a great fighter anyone can pick up and enjoy with a few friends.
