It received rave reviews as essentially flawless at the time and the graphics definitely hold their own over a decade later. How many games can you say that about without being unrealistically optimistic? Soul Calibur for Dreamcast has highly fluid game play, taking the very best elements of other fighting games of the time and turning them into something beautiful. If you have a Dreamcast, this title is essential. With unlockable characters and story mode, replay value is extremely high. If you have a "gotta catch 'em all" mentality, the story mode will keep you busy for a very long time. I cannot recommend this game highly enough.
