Title: Just Short of Perfect
Review: Soul Calibur is a martial arts two person fighter game with an intricate plot, extremely accurate martial art forms and katas, great 3d animated movements, great 3D models, and a gameplay that is near perfect. While it is a little difficult at first to get started (unless you choose a button pushing character like Hwang or Sung Mena), the complexity of the various combos, special moves, timings, the soul and spirit charge, and additional features make for a game that is enjoyable to play for years. At first, the eight directional move is a little awkward, but once you get it mastered it's second nature. Also, mastering 8 directional move is the key to dodging and countering, which are your best friends in this game!
