“Welcome back to stage of history”. What better line for a review of this game series, let alone the series’ third iteration (if you count Soul Blade/Edge). I literally went to 2003 when this was first released here and like back in the day it is a slice of heaven (pardon the pun). Soul calibur 2 is considered by many to be the best of the Soul blade series. Apart from returning favorites like Mitsurugi; Taki; and Sophitia; we have newcomers like French rapier wielding Raphael; Wind priestess tonfa user Talim, and Sophitia’s sister Cassandra who plays like her older sister along with moves of the own. The game has many modes to keep you entertained like it’s brawling brother “Tekken” and a sweet mode called Edge Master Mode where you will travel across the land and obtain new variations of your weapons that can used in other modes. The icing on the cake is that you can play with Todd Mcfarlene’s Spawn (guest character) who blends in well the others. This is a great game to have in Xbox (OG) that sadly lack good fighters and it will not disappoint.Read full review

One of the best fighting games ever imo. Game play is smooth and a good pace. You could be strategic or just button mash. The game is well balanced with a wide variety of characters and weapons. The stages have a nice addition of being able to now use the walls in combat. And they have a good variety of them also. The graphics are beautiful for the time it came out especially on a HDTV in 720p. Characters and stages look very nice and blend together well. If you liked the first Soul Calibur like i did on the Sega Dreamcast, then you will love part 2 as well. It is more of the same with added moves, slightly better graphics and more game modes and characters. I am just a little mad that my seller (canvew) did not state that the game case had a water mark on the label. O well. The disc was in great shape and plays well. Pick this one up! Two thumbs way up!Read full review

This quality fighting game is even better with Spawn in it. The graphics seem to resemble the Dreamcast era because the game was originally produced for the Sega NAOMI arcade board. In fact, some Xbox games resemble Dreamcast games as well. It also plays solid no matter what platform you use. Get the Xbox version if you want to try playing as Spawn like I did. Major selling point!

I remember waiting for the midnight release for the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur II (with Link as a guest character). When I sold that console, the game sadly went with it. The graphics still hold up!. On my 1080p television, the XBox360 displays a 4:3 ratio, but it's crazy nostalgic to play, and the mechanics are as smooth as ever. Music is phenomenal as well.

Very great looking game on the original xbox and super fun if only it was back compatible.
