Soul Calibur V is fun, fun, fun. The in-game graphics are spectacular. Buy it now.

Soul Calibur V is simply perfect!

I expected a great game, but it is not what I found. I think this game could have been better, it's quite simple. Personally, I prefer the previous. The best of this one, is the character customization and... its price, worthwhile.

This last chapter in the saga of Soul Calibur is definitely a good game, graphically very rewarding and good game play that makes it suitable for all types of gamers. Excellent possibility to create characters at will, customizing the most, but other than that the game modes included are not very innovative and excluding the on-line you can quickly get tired. Still remains one of the best fighting games out there and certainly the most secure solution to beat someone up from your couch.

Really good game. Recommended to all SC fans!

Great game, fans of the previous games will love this.

It's a good game. The fighting mechanism is very well improved. Online play experience is also well improved. Single play isn't that good though. I guess fighting game should be focusing on the online experience.

I like the new way of dishing out special moves, as it's much simpler and less irritating. I don't understand why some characters are gone and have been replaced by new ones with almost the exact same fighting style... Don't really see the point of that. As the series has been going on I've noticed there are less and less combos for characters. I remember in SC2 characters like Kilik had a load, but now in the series the most amount of buttons in a combo input is three. emphasis seems to be on juggling and hitting the opponent when on the ground...which really isn't exciting or fun, but more annoying. I like fights to fit movie or tv, the clashing of swords etc. not throwing your opponent in the air. But then again this seems to be the way with almost all fighting games now. The graphics are excellent, it really is a gorgeous game. Oh and Ivy has now covered herself with a jacket, for better or worse depending on who you are.

I've been playing Soul Calibur games since the first one on the Dreamcast, so I might seem biased but fear not, because Soul Calibur V is a must-have game for anyone that likes fighters.

Soul Calibur 5 Has a powerful character creation tool that allows for some amazing, unique online battles. The story mode leaves me cold, as does the lack of any character endings. Still the best weapon based fighter though and worth the low price of £14 that I paid.
