Featuring graphics that surpass even the amazing NFL 2K, Soul Calibur is the martial arts fighting game to end all fighting games and the game to get if you're a Dreamcast owner. Based on the arcade classic of the same name, Soul Calibur lets you choose to represent one of 10 fighters in a series of battles against your peers. If you can successfully defeat all of your opponents, you will then face the fiendish Inferno in a final showdown that will determine the fate of the world. Each of the game's warriors is armed with a different deadly weapon--sword, ax, stave, nunchaku, you name it--and an assortment of special moves all tailored to that specific weapon. The warriors include men, women, and creatures from all over the globe and from various mythologies. Each is brought to life with amazing motion-capture animation, which results in incredibly lifelike and realistic duels. If you own a Dreamcast or are thinking of buying one, do yourself a favor and add Soul Calibur to your collection. --Mike Ryan

- Still A Goodd Game!
I owned this game years ago and it was a good game. I recently purchased it again and it's still as fun as it was in 2000.
Rating: - The soul still burns!
"Welcome back to the stage of history" (no puns intended), when this game took the world by storm: the characters, the stages, the music, the weapons, the commentary (announcer), etc. This game is still a classic and the best of the series. I only got to play this game once in the dreamcast back in the day and I thought I'd relive the days of its glory through Xbox live but that is a mistake and to all you Xbox live members who have yet to download it, I suggest you get the dreamcast version.

Hands down the greatest fighting game ever made.Almost a decade after its release it still tops of even the newest fighters out there.Dreamcast had the most potentioal over all the other systems, to bad Sega Sold out.Every character, level, skill, story goes above and beyond.Top's the most recent Soul Calibur 4 that was released this past July.This game should be ported exactly the way it is to Next-Generation systems with a graphic enchancement.
