this game is amazing in a lot of things, but the camera views in battle could use a little bit of help. The character creation is the best of any game. i would strongly recomend this game to any player.

Not a bad Game
PostedMarch 19, 2012
I don't know about anyone else but this game was not that bad, granted the stories that dominated the previous 4 games and it mInly focused on 2 chracters , should have came into play more but it dosent make this game n epic fail.......this game has good sound, good gameplay soul Calibur fans will love this game however for the gamers that are just entering the soul Calibur world this game was not that bad.....and the collectors is worth getting good extras..

Soul Calibur RIP
PostedFebruary 16, 2012
i have been a fan of the soul calibur series since it the first installment was released on the dreamcast and i downloaded it first chance i got on the xbox marketplace. After playing through the story line which had a pictures for cutscenes most of the time as well as a bunch of easily forgettable characters and a plot that seemed like there wasn't much thought put into it. The online gameplay is the only reason why i'm not giving the score for this game a lower score. Fighting against real live people makes the game much more entertaining. i hope namco takes some time off from making any soul calibur games

If you have stuck with the SoulCalibur series since the first title "SoulEdge," then this SHOULD be and easy pick right out of Gamestop's shelves. However many people, including myself think the story line could use some more work. In my opinion I don't think the creators put too much time into the main story. The game needs to be more in-depth. However, I felt that the graphics were pushed to a phenomenal rate, the game looks more detailed and cleaner than it did in the previous title "SoulCalibur IV," and each character's individual attacks show nothing but pure GLOW when their swords clash together and swing left to right. The gameplay is probably my biggest concern because of how many components were removed. For example, when you scroll down through the move list, you may notice many combos were excluded. Also, in SoulCalibur IV each armor piece was categorized by its stats. While in SoulCalibur V there are no stats when customizing your appealing and extraordinary characters. The creators did this so that the game could be SIMPLER. However the detail and list of armor choices were increased in the character customization menu. This gives every owner of the game a larger variety of customizing, and it puts many more hours more in creating. Lastly, the sound...............well I don't put too much thought into the sound, but it is great. - Cross Line Gaming -- that is the clan I'm in. If you ever see "cL" on XBOX Live you will know it is us.
