Soul Calibur has long been a mainstay of console gamers. We at Atomic have sunk immeasurable (and probably unhealthy) amounts of time into the games over many years, and naturally we were excited when we got this one in. Then that excitement turned to...

The Soul Calibur franchise is considered, by many, to offer the quintessential fighting experience, so topping previous entries within the series 11-year history is no small order. But Namco Bandai's latest entry into the world of weapon-based combat e...
Endless customization options, extremely fluid combat system, and the addition of online play.
Minor character balancing issues, Star Wars characters not as awesome as we all hoped.

A hugely improved fighting title that harks back to the excitement of the original. If youre a fan of this genre, you absolutely have to pick up Soul Calibur 4...
The graphics are gorgeous and characters are nicely detailed. The game play is solid with an intuitive combat system. Relatively easy online multiplayer capability, and the ability to create your own or modify an existing character is a definite bonus too...
The moves for Darth Vader and Yoda could have been a bit more impressive, utilizing “The Force” somehow. There is no ability to break stuff in the game environment. Armour seems difficult to unlock. Some moves really do require the arcade stic...

Soul Calibur IV hits the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with gorgeous new graphics, more detailed create-a-character options, and the same sword-clashing fights featured in the past four games. Speaking as a moderate fan of the series, I was hoping that...
Im sorry to report that Soul Calibur IV is fundamentally the same game as Soul Calibur III, only with more fighters, an online mode, and more create-a-character customizations. Its remarkably well produced and visually sumptuous, but its appeal rema...

Now this is a game that’s been getting a lot of attention (not least from our own humble website). With the announcement that Yoda and Darth Vader would join the usual ranks of swordsmen, axe wielders, and pole bearers, the game suddenly got noticed by...

Bashing exotic opponents with gigantic fantasy swords is brilliant. That’s the fundamental thing that sets Soulcalibur apart from other fighting games. Sensibly ditching the logic that says that being hit with a giant, medieval zweihander would cut you...

Darth Vader and the Secret Apprentice. There you go. We said it. They’re in Soul Calibur IV. They may have absolutely dominated the pre-release hype and press, but do you know what? They’re the least interesting aspect of Soul Calibur IV. There were ru...
An amazingly deep and beautiful fi ghting experience, marred by a couple of unnecessary characters, but essential nonetheless. If the online modes simulate the feeling of a traditional one-onone battle, we’ll be in combat heaven. 8.9/10Print this pa...
