Editorial Review
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 Pros: - Exceptionally lifelike graphics and animation
- Multiple game modes--1-player, 2-player, team, computer vs. computer, martial arts demo, and more
- Secrets and extra features will keep players coming back
Cons: - May be too violent for some parents

The best Dreamcast has to offer August 7, 2008
Best game on Dreamcast, and my all-time favorite fighting game. Replay value is excellent, gameplay is just fantastic.
This game has a lotta' soul! March 20, 2007
Quite possibly the best game put out by Sega for its Dreamcast console. The graphics on this game are amazing. Years after its release it is still putting some games to shame. Buy a copy. Soon.
Greatest Fighter Ever August 10, 2006
This is just as good as Soul Calibur 2 and its a wonder how Dreamcast died with so many amazing games this being the best along with Grandia 2, Crazy Taxi and Jet Grind Radio. Any way i highly recommend you play this or Soul Calibur 2 and be completely amazed.
Amazing fighter for the DC September 26, 2005
In comparison to Soul Blade, this game is a towering improvement. To Soul Calibur II, it is a little behind, but then, it was released 5 years prior. This also represents a very smooth transition of storylines from the first to the second in the series.
Combat commands in the straight spectrum are highly developed, though 8-way-run attacks are limited to two or three basic attacks. Still, the game is very fun, and fun to play over and over for a long span of time. The voice-over/narrator guy is hillarious also.
This game's museum mode has 335 pieces of unlockable artwork and different skins and modes, as well as more than 10 unlockable characters. The first set of museum pieces completely explains the Soul storyline, and the events that lead up to where the game is; something you have to nit-pick through in SCII to figure out just what happened since this installment. For Dreamcast collectors, or fighting game enthusiests, I highly-reccomend this game.
Welcome back to the stage of history September 16, 2005
Soul Caliber - Circa 2001
GOOD:
- Good/Tight controls
- Nicely balanced gameplay
- Lots of different and unique fighters
- Minutes to learn years to master gameplay
- Some nice unlockables like new Fighters, costumes, stages and other bonuses
- A 3D fighting game that really uses the 3D space (with eight way run)
- Considered a classic to many hardcore fighting fanatics
BAD:
- Non- traditional fighting gameplay, might alienate some more traditional fighting game fans
- Have to unlock most of the game through the story/quest mode
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Has medieval theme, both European and Chinese/Japanese
- Not traditional fighting game in the sense that there is no real combos and supers, or even projectile moves
- Game has built in quest mode, where you pick a fighter and complete a number of challenges, the end result is you unlock more content and are a better player
- Fight with weapons, like a 3D Samurai Showdown
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Soul Caliber 2
- Tekken 3
- Samurai Showdown
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- You can unlock a mode that lets you Customize your intro (by picking who will be in the intro of the game at which points)
