Video Game Review
Soul Caliber 2 (PS2, XBOX, Gamecube)
As the sequel to the excellent Dreamcast Soul Caliber which was a sequel to Playstation’s Soul Edge, this game is worth all the anticipation it garnered for its August release. This is the best fighting game in existence…period. Beautiful graphics, excellent gameplay, and a great cast of characters (Except the pathetic Heihachi from the PS2 release). Along with games from the Tekken series, this game thrives on real skill and strategy instead of special move memorization and the Bastard fighting style*. Play Tekken if you like the hand to hand fighting, play this to enjoy weaponry.
*The Bastard fighting style is to find the quick attack for whatever character you choose and do that one attack over and over without allowing the enemy to stand back up and fight. Although, this is still possible in Soul Caliber especially with Raphael and Necrid, it can be countered. Games such as Marvel VS Capcom, and the original Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter games are good examples of games where that is pretty much the only way to fight. You remember “Haduken” “Haduken” “Haduken” over and over. Man Street Fighter sucks.
