Soul Calibur IV fails to impress me... it's disappointing...
But then... it started to get really boring.
Sure, I love how there's an online thing. It's great that SC fans can now duke it out online. That's probably the best thing about this game.
I'm sure many of you out there disagree with me, but this game is quite boring to me now. There is seriously nothing to do on it. Besides the characters miserable excuse of a story mode, arcade mode, towers of souls, and online... there's nothing! The previous games had championships, missions, survival, team battles... there were so many different things to do, and you could have the same amount of fun doing them over again! There is NOTHING to do on SC4!
I bought all their good weapons, made them crazy strong... oh yes, that reminds me. The Character Creation mode. I think the new version of it is both good... and bad. The good is that you can create very strong characters, increasing their attack, defence, and HP depending on the armor you put on them. Plus you can create 50 characters... that tricked me. I thought you could create 50 characters for EVERYTHING... like 50 different versions of every original character, and 50 of your own. Sadly, as I figured out recently, that's not the case. The other bad is that if you make your character really strong... they'll end up looking retarded. So... yeah, that's basically my point. I want my characters to look good when I use them. You'll either have good-looking weak characters, or stupid-looking strong characters. Choose.
True, I will still say SC4 lives up to it's series name, and it's a very fun fighting game with great characters and astonishing graphics. However, with very little things to do and the storyline growing weaker... I'm just hoping this isn't where the SC series breaks down and dies. To be honest, the only reason I play this game now is because I love the fighting system and the characters. That's it. I hope the SC games to come impress me.
