Things I Like: Soul Edge

I remember playing this one a long time ago in the arcade. 

It's the first game in the Soul Calibur series. Plays very similar to the first Soul Calibur, and there wasn't  a huge jump between the graphics. Very good and sweet game-play especially for it's time. 

There was a PS1 version called Soul Blade. Same game they just had copyright issues with the name change. 

Pretty sweet version I might add. It may not be as good as it's first two sequels, but it's still pretty rad. 

Things I Hate: Soul Calibur IV

I really liked the 2nd game, and felt betrayed that Namco made III only available on PS2 so I didn't play that one. 

The graphics look great, however I didn't like the changes in the gameplay. It just didn't seem that fun anymore. The difficulty seemed unbalanced, and the modes weren't very addicting. It's not a bad game really, but it could have been much better in my eyes. 

I really liked the trio of select characters in Soul Calibur 2. I loved playing as Link in the Gamecube version. However I didn't like Starkiller or Yoda. Star Wars is forced down our throats these days, and they're not that great at fighting in the game, and don't really fit the universe. 

Things I Hate; Virtua Fighter 4

I was never a big fan of the series in the arcade. I had a little fun with Virtua Fighter Kids. 

I know many people loved Virtua Fighter 4 and are very deep about all the moves and whatever. I just don't like fighting games like that. I'm happy with Street Fighter and Soul Calibur.
