Okay for a start, why doesnt the lightsaber cut others to pieces? Theyve been shown to cut through doors the size of a bank vault! Anyway... Pros ---- * Graphics are good (though not as good as I expected) * Controls are easy to learn, but hard to master providing a challenge * Character creation is a nice touch, gives the game some longevity Cons ---- * Story mode on Normal is way too easy, and I havent played a Fighting game for nearly 5 years! * Arcade mode will drive you INSANE! This is waaaay too difficult, especially with Vader and The Apprentice. The main problem is you cant actually choose a difficulty level like in Story * Story.....well there isnt any. The endings are truly disapointing, nothing like those of the original Soul Edge. Pity Get it but dont expect an all powerful game that will destroy all comers. This feels rushed and unbalanced with some characters being too overpowered compared to others.....and you cant customise Vader or The Apprentice =/ Read More

"Impressive, most Impressive"......as the dark lord Vader himself would say. Soul Calibur 4 is the latest version of the series and this time includes additional characters from the Star Wars universe. The PS3 gets Darth Vader and the 360 gets Yoda. The game itself is the same weapon based fighting game, the next gen graphics look amazing especially when handing out some justice with a lightsabre! There are various modes, including story mode, arcade mode and Tower of the souls mode. There is also online versus mode too. A new addition is the character creation feature, which makes it possible to edit characters to look how you want with numerous options on outfits, hairstyles, weapons etc. Fans of the previous games, should check it out.
