  GamingWorld X - Soul Calibur II Review
Soul Calibur fans have heard that question hundreds of times since the sequel was announced for Xbox a couple years ago.
But despite the flame-retardant nature of my soul, I still found Soul Calibur II to be in a class of its own on Xbox and a worthy successor to the classic Dreamcast original.
Soul Calibur II, on the other hand, is like that attractive English teacher who's only a few years removed from college.

 NGF: Soul Calibur 2 Preview
Beautiful graphics, several (and I do mean several) costumes, levels, characters, alternates and extras to be unlocked by successfully performing a variety of tasks and missions left fighting gamers in awe, particularly in light of its less esteemed predecessors and competition (which indubitably lacked even half the variety, style, or impact of this groundbreaking release).
Soul Calibur, along with House of the Dead 2 (and it’s bastard son, Typing of the Dead), the aforementioned DOA2, and Crazy Taxi, provided the Dreamcast with one of the strongest launch (or early release) lineups for any system to date.
It always fascinates me how much energy and effort the character designers put into giving their creations a backstory; in some cases (like this one), the extraneous detail, none of which actually appears in or impacts the game in any way whatsoever, can be somewhat voluminous.

 SoulCalibur2
From an aesthetic standpoint, Soul Calibur 2 isn't the quantum leap that Soul Calibur was, but it still marks an impressive installment nonetheless.
Soul Calibur 2 features the same highly-polished production values, including beautiful environments and epic score of the original, but the backdrops and overall production values have been enhanced and the experience seems to be rendered in greater detail.
Soul Calibur 2 definitely marks and improvement from the first game, and while it may not be as revolutionary as SC1 was, the tight gameplay has definitely withstood the passing of time.

 GameShrine.co.uk :: Soul Calibur 2 review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Soul Calibur was right at the top of that list, and for good reason.
The Mission Mode from Soul Calibur was a surprisingly absorbing single player aspect for a genre usually devoted to a simplistic arcade mode and a beloved versus aspect.
The true essence of Soul Calibur 2 still lies in a facing off against a friend, and skilfully dancing around one another, parrying blows, and performing artistic special moves.

 GamingWorld X - Soul Calibur II (JPN) Review
Soul Calibur 2’s storyline is surprisingly interesting for a fighter.
Soul Calibur 2 offers a number of different arenas to fight in, most of which make for more than simple cosmetic changes.
While his move list is a tad smallish, he is still one of the most powerful characters in the game and a blast to play as.

 Soul Calibur III Review - GamersHell.com
Tira is one of the two new female characters and her weapon is a big hula-hoop of some sorts, made of razor-sharp steel.
Soul Calibur fanatics will notice these subtle changes immediately and find themselves challenged to master the new moves of their favorite character.
Characters that previously had a lot in common, like Siegfried and Nightmare, seem to have been tweaked to be more unique this time around.

 UGO.com Games - Soul Calibur 2 review of the import Namco fighting game for Xbox/PS2
Character animations are smooth and hyper-realistic (except for obviously impossible techniques), the colors are deep, the shading is flawless, and the lightsaber-style trails of the weapons have never looked better.
Characters have vertical, horizontal and circular strikes and kicks.
All of the characters have their original moves (some have been changed slightly), as well as scores of new ones.

 Soul Calibur for Dreamcast Reviews at Shopping.com
Soul Calibur was perhaps the only time I completely ignored the fact that I was touching a Sega controller.
Appropriate for each character's stage, and the time period it took place in, the soundtrack adds to the absorbing experience that Soul Calibur has to offer.
Because Soul Calibur is one of the only non-RPGs that will consume your life as if it were one.

 Soul Calibur III Original Soundtrack : SoundtrackCentral.com
One thing the Soul Calibur series has been known for since its inception is its action-packed orchestral style score.
Soul Calibur III continues that tradition admirably, albeit perhaps a bit too diligently.
Soul Calibur III Original Soundtrack is solid but not remarkable, providing almost exactly what would be expected from a medieval, globe-spanning fighting game series.

 Soul Calibur III - GameCritics.com
The only issues may be a few scantily clad female characters that can be played and in the create-a-fighter mode that would allow a player to create a bikini-thong clad warrior.
That's not to say that the weapons-based combat that drives the heart of the gameplay in Soul Calibur III is not complex or wrought with intricacies.
However, the dictionary-length list of moves afforded to each character in Soul Calibur III is counter-intuitive to what this game is about: defeating your opponent.

 Soul Calibur II
Oddly, this sequel is the third in the series of Soul games that began with Soul Blade on the PS1 and then continued its slashing tradition as Soul Calibur on the ill fated Sega Dreamcast.
Some will do their best to play with the most appalling character there is, be it a panda bear or a guy with a fascinating collection of cod pieces (read Voldo).
But, in Soul Calibur II “The Movie”, that is who I would be looking for to play the part.

 DailyGame Reviewers Choice: Soul Calibur II [PS2] [Xbox] [GC]
Every character has a unique list of moves, and they are distinct enough to ensure you’ll find a fighter to fit your style.
Characters flow gracefully about the screen, cleanly switching between offensive and defensive stances while the environments show that there’s a ton of life in the PS2’s graphics hardware.
Soul Calibur II proves that there’s still plenty of life in the fighting genre, and that there’s still plenty of room to work within that genre.

 "The Next Level" - Game Review: Soul Calibur 2
Among the three bonus characters, I've found Link and Spawn to be the most enjoyable, despite the fact that they all seem somewhat out of place.
When Soul Calibur was released on Dreamcast, several friends and I had the pleasure of learning the intricacies of the game together.
The sequel is no different, thanks to the expanded cast of characters and the ability to alter the parameters of the game using weapons acquired from the aforementioned Weapon Master Mode.

The profile consists of useful information if you care about where your favorite character comes from, or how old he or she is. There are also a few paragraphs that tell a little history about each.
A lot of the characters from the first Soul Calibur look the same from Dreamcast, with better textures of course, and many of them sport new outfits.
The stages and backgrounds in Soul Calibur II are full of color, and have many details to be looked at.

No one was aware that the spirit of the Soul Edge, Soul Calibur, was still in existence, and that the people have been unintentionally transporting pieces of the legendary blade to all corners of the earth.
Now in the form of Nightmare (formerly Siegfried), Soul Calibur is pursuing all parts of the fervent sword, to rejoin it once again as the most powerful weapon on earth.
The Soul Calibur 2 docket has been fleshed out this time around, with additional characters and most of the classics.

Link, alongside Spawn, was the first character in the Soul Series to use projectiles, in his case in the form of arrows, bombs, and a boomerang.
He wears a dark purple armor and his weapon is Soul Edge, Siegfried's Ultimate Weapon in Soul Edge and Nightmare's 2P weapon design in Soul Calibur II.
In Soul Calibur III this weapon was called "Soul Edge (Cocoon)".

 The Armchair Empire - Xbox Reviews: Soul Calibur II
In the end, I went for the Xbox version, mostly because it was likely to feature slightly better graphics and, with the official Soul Calibur II arcade controller being compatible with all three systems, I wouldn’t have to deal with the Xbox controller’s clumsy button placement.
Soul Calibur veterans will feel right at home with the majority of the moves.
When Soul Calibur was on the shelves, the term “button-masher” was being thrown around pretty regularly.

 GameSpy: Soulcalibur III Preview
Yotoriyama's ninja entered the first melee with a kunai (those stubby, stake-like weapons with a loop at the handle), and proceeded to decimate her enemy with a series of quick strikes, lunges, and Taki-style air-dives.
Prior to him settling on the kunai, we noticed a few other weapons on the list that he selected it from, including a ninja-to, a katana, and a shuriken.
As you play with these characters in the single-player modes, you'll level them up, with all their relevant stats increasing with each "ding." It also bears mention that you can subject the game's original characters to the create-a-character feature, in case you don't share Namco's design sensibilities.

 Listen To Me - Soul Calibur 2
The character models are sharp, clean and are greatly enhanced by the fluid animation to make each fight an enjoyment to see weither you're pummeling, being pummeled or just watching and making jokes about the loser.
The backgrounds, however, while excellent in their own right and far above those of other games seem kind of bland but when you're playing a fighting game, the last thing you should be doing is looking away from the action.
So if your soul still burns and it hurts when you pee then run like the wind to your nearest game dealer and pick up a copy of Soul Calibur 2, everyone else is. I'd like to use this space to apologize for the "Toasty" image, I just couldn't think of anything else.

 Soul Calibur - GameCritics.com
A quick glance at the enormous 'Moves List' for any character is likely to make the casual gamer, who isn't into extensive research and study in the name of games, squeamish.
What got of me off to such a rocky start on Soul Calibur was how easily I blew through the one-player mode on a Normal difficulty setting on my first attempt (with a couple of continues) by employing somewhat unrestrained button-mashing (not to mention it only took me about ten minutes to do so).
This is a mode that has players hopping around in a board game-like interface and completing missions that almost always involve fighting some character, but with slight additional twists like environmental dangers (extreme blowing winds, sinking sand, deadly mice) or specific objectives (ring-out required, first to hit the floor loses).

Soul Calibur was not only a substantial leap in graphics, but in gameplay as well.
Soul Edge alumni and Siegfried's alter ego, Nightmare, wields the Soul Edge itself, with an eyeball set in the center that looks around at the proceedings independently of the sword.

 Soul Blade
A quick note on the bios: As with many fighting games, the endings for Soul Calibur were a bit sketchy and many even conflicted with the others.
While the aftermath of Soul Edge/ Blade was detailed for every character in Soul Calibur, the "official" endings (the ones that will define the characters for the next game) are not currently known.
Therefore, every characters' Soul Calibur outcome is more or less my opinion, and should not be taken as actual fact from Namco.
