![]() ![]() I haven’t played a Soul game since the outstanding Soul Calibur II on the GameCube. Of course, just like most fighters, if you’re new to the game, just button-mash away. Like most fighters, it can take quite a while to learn the complicated commands for just one fighter, let alone the 28 characters available in the game. ![]() Its main use allows fighters to fill up a metre which enables the execution of a “super move”. Newly introduced to Soul V is the “Critical Edge” system. Using a combination of these buttons, along with the control stick, allows for combos, throws and special moves. The controls are relatively simple, with a different button for horizontal attacks, vertical attacks, kicks, as well as guarding. The character play styles are designed with their weapons in mind so you can’t swap the ninja’s blades with the Zweihander. The characters are mainly differentiated by their different weapons such as the standard sword and shield setup, ninja blades, a Zweihander (large two-handed sword), nunchuks and an axe. It’s also possible to win a round by knocking the opponent out of the arena, known as a Ring-Out. Like most fighting games, battles consist of two combatants facing each other and the aim is to attack your opponent until their health metre empties, thus a Knock-Out (KO). ![]() This review is based on the Playstation 3 version, though Soul V is also on the Xbox 360. Every other game since has been released under the title of Soulcalibur. It’s a 3D weapon based fighting game that began with Soul Edge in 1996 which was released in the arcades and ported to the Playstation. Soulcalibur V is the sixth (yes that’s correct) game in Namco’s Soul series. Well fans, sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. ![]()
