Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Soulcalibur II is probably my favorite fighting game and one of the best of all time in its genre. "
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
Now that the Japanese console versions of Soulcalibur II are 20 years old, it's worth looking back at why the game remains so iconic.
Of the three console versions, GCN was my favorite due to Link. His character felt more accurate to the others. Hehachi and Spawn were okay but... felt out of place.
Then again, so did Yoda and Vader in SC4.
Thousands of matches, countless nights, and beautiful memories. Soulcalibur is one the greatest games there is, but its best feat is that it gathered friends for some of the best times of their lives. I miss those days and i miss those friends.
Thought 3 was better personally, shame it's stuck on PS2 and didn't get any love since.
It had one of the best ways to have a story for every character in any fighting game.
Something thats missing in the most fighting games that are not BlazBlue anyway. Sadly.
The first two fighting games in the series are no longer available on the Microsoft Store.
Dreamcast and cube versions simply amazing:)
