After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: Extra Character
Posted: Nov 4, 2008 12:41 pm PT
Though it wasn't possible when SoulCalibur IV arrived in stores, Darth Vader and Yoda can now be pitted against each other regardless of which platform you're playing on. Adding an extra Star Wars character to your roster isn't free, though, and at around five dollars it's not great value either.

    Was he on some of sort of tranquilizer when he did this, I haven't heard a more mundane review yet.

    I can't wait until SC5 comes out (or something like that). They should get some Fire Emblem People on there. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

    tekken is the best for sure, to me personally i hate SF4 the 2D style gameplay with all the silly way to do combos sucks
    but thats just me... i think i might like this game it looks more like tekken than SF4... ( i heard psp version is getting Kratos! if the ps3 one does, im soooo going to get it )

  • Darkreaper_1

    Just wondering if i should get this game or not.

    I am a big Tekken fan but recently bought SF4 which i didn't like at all (and i've got rid off). Is it worth getting or should i just sit on my hands and wait for Tekken 6 to come out?

    good game and if you have to choose between sf4 and this you have to remember sf4 plays like a 2d fighter so no ring outs or any of that only back and forth but still im goona get both

  • Morbidmassacre

    If you ask me, SF4 is WAY WAY WAY BETTER than this game.

  • deeatoms

    I think 360 users (like me) where so happy when Darth Vader came out as DLC, considering that he is way better then Yoda. On the other hand, PS3 users weren't to fond of Yoda as DLC.

    I just love this game!! so i don't care for what the review says, just needed a bit of insight

  • Shadowflame291

    Posted Apr 6, 2009 9:27 am PT

    Someone tell this guy it's not a good idea to review a game when you're half-asleep

  • Morbidmassacre

    Posted Mar 31, 2009 11:35 am PT

    what's your problem people? i have nothing to complain about the reviewer's voice. all people are not american, you know, so they have different accents.

  • HorukuDark

    Posted Mar 30, 2009 12:17 am PT

    Getting this for 360 real soon, if anyone wants someone to play with feel free to add HorukuDark

    Wow, i didn't belive it, but yeah, Justin doesn't sound too good in this review, but is still a nice review, anyway, i'm planning to get SC4 soon, it looks like a good game.

  • taddia

    Posted Mar 7, 2009 10:49 am PT

    omg.. kill the reviewer... sounds like he is reviewing after awaking after a nap...

  • zjohnsto

    Posted Mar 4, 2009 3:06 am PT

    I love weapon-based fighters, and I'm looking forward to beating some heads in again. A small gripe; why do people refer to the first game as Soul Calibur? Soul Blade on PS1 kicked the whole thing off in '97, and THEN they improved on it in '99. They were both done by Namco, so what have i missed? Anyway, I can't wait!

  • matt2kvx

    SC4 is awsome, i just wish it still had the different jobs in character creation like SC3 had

  • argo477

    Posted Feb 13, 2009 12:56 pm PT

    it would be awesome if star wars had a fighting game of its own!

  • lordofdonkeys

    love this reviewer, his voice is awesome, love the way you can hear the excitement in his voice when he talks about little parts of the game that really rock. I really hate people that dis reviewers.

  • juanchito006

    Posted Jan 15, 2009 11:35 am PT

    jejeje good comments there!! but its a great game!! the best fighting game to the date!!

  • Turbo_Burdo

    to everyone who thinks the reviewer is boring, hey, at least it isn't Brad Shoemaker. he made me pass out with boredom.

    reviewer sounds really boring

  • Hinata237

    Posted Dec 22, 2008 9:15 pm PT

    Very boring review. I think I'll just stick to playing my DOA4 for now.

  • reindertot

    Posted Dec 14, 2008 5:12 pm PT

    The review was good. I will buy this game for this. The only thing that was terrible was the last "question" of th reviewer ("but wich version are you gonna get?"). Not even a minimal effort to say that as a question, hehehehe.

  • RollingMeatball

    Posted Dec 14, 2008 11:43 am PT

    OK, it wasn't the most interesting review ever, but he addressed the ups and downs perfectly, and as long as it makes sure I don't make the wrong decision, I'm happy.

  • RubedoXT

    Posted Dec 2, 2008 12:31 am PT

    that review was very informative but done really boring. this is Soul Calibur, where's your soul in reviewing the calibur of this game? well anyways, this is a very well programmed game, the fighting mechanics are ultimately unique compared to all fighter games. it's easy to pick up, you just realize different directions mixed with different buttons do different moves and they can all easily be mixed into combos if you envision them correctly.

    oh and my answer to the after the fact update on the review: it was sly for Namco to make us pay for a character that's already on the disc. but at the same time it makes sense so that people who didnt buy him are still able to face a person who uses Darth Vader online and not have to download him everytime.

    most importantly though at the core of my response: Darth Vader was worth the purchase. He is a very menacing powerhouse of destruction if you used correctly.

    I didn't think the review was boring, lol, I actually found it intelligent and interesting... and truth be told it actually made me laugh once lol

  • Bowser453

    Posted Nov 15, 2008 10:05 am PT

    To deadly sin 87,
    the reason why most people quote soul caliber is because that soul blade and caliber are the same series and there are more titles in that series with the name of soul caliber. In other words not bashing soul blade, just easier to make other people understand if you say soul caliber.

  • Xgouse

    Tower Ascending ... um Mortal Kombat.. lol .. yeah i would agree with the rest of you .. boring review but great job.. its yoda not yoder... lol...

  • skull_blader

    Posted Oct 19, 2008 8:25 pm PT

    ugh... quite possibly the worst review vid i have ever seen, not because it isnt a good review (its actually very well written) but just trynig to listen to this guys overbearingly monotonous voice was a feat in of its self

    -oh.. and p.s. dude please try and not have a monotone voice...

  • Sharpshock

    Posted Sep 27, 2008 4:33 pm PT

    this guy is boring i wouldn't be attracted to this game if i didn't allready have it

  • cicatrez

    Posted Sep 23, 2008 5:54 pm PT

    For god sake. Please don't let this guy review anything anymore. Why does he have to raise the pitch of his voice after every sentence? It's unecessary.
