Soulcalibur IV brings together all of the old character and slams in some new ones. Soulcalibur is a great weapon fighting game that will keep you busy with friends for quite a while. This game is loaded with extras and has amazing character creation.

To start with, this game has some amazing graphics. Soulcalibur IV is one of the best fighting games i've seen. Any character that you play as looks great and just feels right. The controls are easy to learn and you can customize them to any way you want them. Although the Joystick and the D-Pad aren't the best thing for this game. The D-Pad just doesn't feel right and the Joystick sometimes screws up your moves that your trying to do.

Next is the Character Creation or Create A Soul. This is pretty amazing, the customization isn't as good as the one in SC3, but it still gets the job done. You pick your fighting ****and change your character cloths, weapon, colors, and skills. You can choose between Male or Female. The creation can be used for many different characters, up to 50! You can also create characters from other games. For example, I made an Altair, Cloud, Auron, and many, many more.

Last and sadly least is the Xbox LIVE. This is a good idea but fails so badly. All people do online is spam one combo until they won. Although, this is good for playing friends.

Overall, this is a very tight game. The graphics are great, the controls are average, the creation is fantastic, and the online is average. This is the best Soulcalibur to date. And is a true enjoyment for fans.
