Gamedaily writes: "Nine years ago, SoulCalibur, changed the way we looked at fighting games, thanks to its outstanding visuals, addictive combat and tons of modes. Now it returns as a downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade. Although the experience has diminished a little, its Soul still burns.
SoulCalibur is a weapons-based fighter featuring several well-trained warriors, each with a particular weapon of choice. For instance, the voluptuous Ivy uses a sword that doubles as a whip, while Kilik carries a bright red bo staff. The game's 19 combatants offer a separate destiny that tie into the mysterious Soul Edge weapon. As the characters reach an eventual final showdown with the devastating Inferno, we learn their fate through attractive hand-drawn cut scenes."
