Your opinions on Soul Calibur 4

As you can tell by my(current)pic, I love the Soul series. However, it doesn't seem like the series is as big as Street Fighter and/or other games. I have over 200 hours of play. I got ittheday it came outand I still a playing it like it's brand-new. I love the SC games andI just want to see if other's likeit as much as I do.

I didnt like it. It didnt improve on from the previous game. Theres better fighter games on 360.

Personally I think that the Soul Calibur series is the best 1 vs 1 fighting series out there. Way better than SF, better than Virtua Fighter, better than Tekken. But I don't think 4 was as good as any of the other games in the series. The first SC was my fav.

I have to admit that it is missing modes (Example = team vs.). But thanks 4 the comments, keep 'em comming.

The character creator is good, but the rest of the game feels very lacking. It's clear they spent so much on the Star Wars characters that they didn't bother with adding more to the game itself.
The story mode is far too short to even be called a story mode, the arcade mode is pretty short and the tower is boring. I liked the story mode from the previous game a lot more, it's a shame it wasn't added for the fourth game.

If they do a fifth title, I hope they'll stop with this fancy character nonsense and just make a fun, enjoyable game with a good amount of single player modes.

I Adore Soul Calibur IV, even more than Blazblue , which is my current obsession. I don't know, as soon as i got the game i picked up Taki and that was all she wrote. i was hooked. logged in more than 200 hours before 5 months from launch date.

Sadly, i am currently on haitus because my friend is playing it at his house. But trust me, when i come back, i will A,B,214,236B,rising K,1ba,214K,A+B the competition!

Soul Caliber 2 and 3 are far better both with story, and fighting mode. Only good thing about the new 1 is the graphics..

I still own 3 on PS2, much better game..

I really liked the game. I bought all the DLC (except the ultimate weapon sets), put over a 100 hours into it, got 1000/1000 but i just hated the online bit. The lobby system sucked (i liked DOA4's more) and was faced with a lot of lag.angel_14

Ive never been a fan, anything that isn't street fighter doesn't feel natural to me.

Soul Calibur 4 is a good game and I enjoy it... BUT I like Soul Calibur 3 a bit better.

I loved that you can really customize your own characters better there... and not have to worry about what stats will affect your chacater when you put on a certain armor/clothing or weapon. I felt in this game I couldn't make the character I wanted because of that. Also I really did enjoy the Chronicles of the Sword mode from the 3rd game. I was hoping the would improve on it instead of giving us the Tower of Souls... The Tower of Souls is really just agauntlet mode really. At least in Chronicles you had a story and it felt like you were going thru the story with your very own character.

Don't like the fact that the so called Story Mode was over in like 10 Minutes. It's way too short.. It should of had8 fights plus the 9th one being the boss battle.. instead of 4 and the 5th fight being the boss battle.

I did like the Star war characters... But they shouldn't be in the game, though I didn't mind them being in here it was fun. But, I think it would be more awesome if Lucas Arts teamed up with Namco to create a Star Wars fighting game in the same vain as the way Soul Calibur is... Then That would be awesome.

Best 1 vs. 1 fighting game this gen IMHO.;)...It's got the Tower of Souls, distinct Story Mode for each character, Arcade, best Character creator known to man for a fightinf game etc.

It's alright. My favorite Soul Calibur is still Soul Calibur II.

LINK'S IN IT! So awesome.

i like games where theres more then just beat the last boss and game over(SFIV) i like to keep playing i like to customize my character get new items. so yeah i loved SCIV and i loved VF5 and i really cant wait for Tekken 6. i spent countless hours Customizing all my fav characters in Tekken 5 so im hoping tekken 6 wont be an exception :D

Yeah it's my current favorite fighting game and one of my favorite fighting series's. I played the hell outta SC4. It does need a tag team mode though. I loved the character creator. Too bad that my copy was stolen last month. I miss my Captain Planet, Sailormoon and Barrack Obama characters. :(

I really enjoy Soulcalibur 4. It's the best 3D fighting game I've played on the xbox 360. The Tower of Souls mode was a great way to present challenges (unlike Street Fighter 4's challenges). The graphics and gameplay are both incredible. Guest characters like Spawn, Link, and Darth Vader are great additions. I loved the create a soul mode as well. What other fighting game allows you to customize your very own fighter and put them against the Soulcalibur fighters? You can use different pieces of equipment to give yourself health boosts, defense boosts, etc... Also, the attributes on your blade like HP drain, nullify ring out, and such are a great addition. It's like combining a RPG and fighting game. The create a soul is a great start and it is something that is not present in any other fighting games. I'd like to see the create a soul expand more in the next game.

I'd like to see some sort of co-op mode. Maybe allow a tag feature with a second controller? Namco made the tag feature work in Tekken, I'm sure they can make it work in SC4. Also, maybe even a minigame added in the next game. Remember, Namco gave us Tekken bowling and Tekken ball in Tekken Tag and Tekken 3. These are just suggestions though. Soulcalibur 4 is easily one of the best fighting games available.

I'm more of a 2D fighter person myself, i grew up playing Street Fighter and have played it and similar games most of my life, and I never really played a lot of 3D fighters growing up.

However, I do find Soul Calibur 4 to be extremely fun, it's really my first venture into the 3D fighting realm and I like it, but i can't seem to pry away from my roots, especially since SF4 came out =-P

I will say that my brother, fiancee, cousin, sister, and her bf all think im crazy because they LOVE Soul Calibur 4 and prefer playing that any day to SF4.

It's alright. My favorite Soul Calibur is still Soul Calibur II.

I didn't really like Soul Calibur IV. I loved II though.

being a new gamer to the soul calibur series i think it's a great game and i have played for over 9000 hours lol but seriosly it is fantastic game and it was only 40 dollars so if any one is thinking about buying it they deffanently should:D

I liked SC3 better than 4. SC 4 is still a great game, I still play it constantly, but the customization is a little over the top when it comes to the stats.

don't like it, no particular reason why, i just dont

I regret buying it when it came out, Soul Calibur 2 was the last one that I really liked.
