Forget any other reason for buying a Dreamcast -- Soul Calibur remains as the sole good reason for spending the money. It's worth the $199.99, it's worth the $49.99, and it's worth your time to check it out.

With increased detail running at a higher resolution and maintaining the same frame rate, it quite literally leaves the arcade version for dead. That's 640x480 at a constant 60fps.

Last week we posted my article on the Top 10 Must Own Dreamcast Games, well, the ones I believe you must own, and I’m the Editor-In-Chief so you have to listen to me, muhahah… damn power trips. Anyways, the game that I picked to be the top must own

The sound is good, but not good enough to be noticeable when combined with jaw-dropping graphics.

Gameplay is what makes a fighting game great, no matter how pretty the graphics are. Other genres may be able to get away with pretty graphics and crappy gameplay (some RPGs come to mind), but fighting games can’t do this. Fortunately, Soul Calibur

It seems that at least once a year Namco delivers a game that transports its players away from the daily grind of this planet into a virtual world of heightened reflexes, exasperating athletics and violent combat. Namco has a knack for creating games

This is a tale of souls and swords, transcending the wolrd and all its history, told for all eternity...
The greatest weapons based fighter returns, this time on Sega Dreamcast. Soul Calibur unleashes incredible graphics, fantastic

OK, take perhaps the most gorgeous arcade fighting game to date, add more frames per second, clean the graphics even more, and increase the fluidity of the characters movements and there you have Soul Calibur for the Sega Dreamcast. UHH... excuse me

Soul Calibur is, quite simply, the best fighting game ever. Combining amazing graphics, tight gameplay and supreme fluidity, any future fighter will find it hard to surpass Namco�s Dreamcast effort.

Of course, my rejection of the fighting genre wasn't to last, and while scouring the used games bin at a local shop I purchased Soul Calibur for a few bucks. Initial playings of the game left me fairly indifferent, as it just seemed like more of the

"Soul Calibur" revolutionizes (3D Fighting) with amazing graphics, intriguing characters and an incredibly smooth 60 frame per second game engine.

Here's a brief rundown of my fighting arts career (in games, of course!). My early 'education' began in the late 80s with games like Double Dragon, River City Ransom, and Final Fight. In the early 90s, I graduated from the school of Street Fighter. I

Namco has built a reputation for brilliant translations from the arcade to the console, and they’ve also built a reputation for making the coolest fighting games around. Let’s face it, Tekken 3 is the coolest game that’s ever been made. If I’d

The first thing that I noticed when I fired up Soul Calibur was the graphics. I know that a 128-bit system will yield far more impressive images, but the graphics for this game just knocked me off my feet. The images are so sharp that it almost defies

But as good as Virtua Fighter was, it was not the reason people were buying Saturns ... well, people weren't buying Saturns. Just the same as people weren't buying the PlayStation on the merits of Toshinden. However, Soul Calibur is the ONE game you

From its debut at the 1998 Electronics Entertainment Expo, tucked away in a remote corner of Namco's booth, it was obvious that Soul Calibur was something special. Namco had pushed the PlayStation-based System 12 hardware farther than anyone had a

The Video Game Critic
One of the system's original "launch" titles, this one-on-one fighter is regarded by many to be the greatest Dreamcast game of all time. It's difficult to argue. Although technically a sequel to the excellent Soul Blade (Playstation, 1998), Soul

Soul Calibur, I thought would never surpass the Mortal
Kombat series. When my sister introduced it to me, I wasn't
really that excited to play it and get into it. It looked
really stupid, if you asked me.

Soul Calibur is one of the first Dreamcast games released
and is one of the best beat-em-up games in history. In the
beginning, I just selected Sonic Adventure as I have my own
financial problems at that time.

These weapons, in addition to kick, throw, and punch combinations, can be used at any time during the fight. Like the Tekken series, Soul Calibur features an in-game maneuver list that thoroughly details each move and button combination (broken down into

The system of blocking and counter-attacks is well thought out. And because the characters vary widely in size and strength and speed, the game plays very strategically. Small characters have the option of hanging back and waiting for an opportunity to
