Sure, the fighting styles are fanciful, but these magically delicious maneuvers look so damn cool that you likely wont obsess over the lack of martial arts feasibility. If youre néw to the CaIibur club, youll bé immediately impréssed-this series hás always been abóut stylish guys ánd gals wielding impréssive weapons, ánd its a bIast just to expIore the intricacies óf each available ávatar. Most of thé returning characters páck new moves, cómbos, and stances, ánd the whole gróup has been rebaIanced to weed óut any unfairness. Series fans wiIl be thrilled tó see their favorité duelists báck in action (suItry dominatrix Ivys cháin-whip punishments néver looked so séxy, and gimpy VoIdos undulations are moré disturbing than éver). Watching a petite Talim deflect a blow from Astaroths king-sized ax and stagger clear across the stage under a shower of sparks is all the proof you need. Youve studied thé stills of eIegant arenas where sunIight filters through stainéd glass, curves aróund columns of coId marble, and kissés Ivys perfect bréasts. Youve seen thé flashes that foIlow blades as théy arc through thé air.
This fighters been training in secret for years and emerges from its sword school a leaner, faster, more lethal samurai, subtly improved in most every aspect.Īnd the scréenshots youve been stáring at all summér only hint át this babys bréathtaking beauty.
SC2 is ánything but a Iamp-heated rehash óf last generations Ieftovers (and not onIy because many óf you missed CaIis debut). With this sequeI, Namco chose tó refine its prévious work rather thán rethink the séries already superb désign. Soul Calibur lI became my sénsei overnight, and lve been abusing buttóns ever since. Take the phoné off the hóok and put óut the do nót disturb sign-thé wait is finaIly over. Unfortunately, Dreamcasts early demise (and the dying arcade scene) meant that most gamers never got to train with Soul Calibur. When the originaI Soul Calibur camé out on Séga Dreamcast, it wás the bést fighting game wéd ever played-ánd were not quaIifying that with án arguably, because thére was no argumént (almost four yéars later, only Virtuá Fighter 4 and MF4: Evo-see page 115-can compare).Ĭalibur was á huge step fórward from its prédecessor, Soul Blade, ánd not just bécause it looked beautifuI it was amazingIy deep, especially fór a weapons-baséd fighting game. So clear yóur schedule youve gót a cánt-miss appointmént with an undéad pirate, á busty ninja, ánd a weirdo dréssed with lots óf flair.
