Classic Game Room reviews SOUL CALIBUR for Sega Dreamcast
1,026Classic Game Room season 1. November, 1999. Soul Calibur was released in Japan in 1998 but found its way to the United States at the launch of the Sega Dreamcast video game console on 9-9-99. Remember the ads? Remember the hype about September 9th, 1999? It was like the moon was going to crash into the earth or something... The Sega Dreamcast was launched to start a whole new era in gaming. In its defense it was very good, however Sega could not stop the juggernaut of the Playstation 2 PS2 that was released the following year. Soul Calibur is an excellent fighting game featuring one player and two player combat. Soul Calibur is actually regarded as one of the best fighting games, if not one of the best video games of all time. Soulcalibur is the second game in the Soul series, following the game Soul Edge. It was produced and developed by Namco (the same place that made Pac Man and Dig Dug). SoulCalibur allows players to fight with a traditional arcade feel and style with detailed rendered characters in unique and flambouyant 3D environments, much like Virtua Fighter 5 or DOA2. This was the 4th Classic Game Room episode and is regarded as one of the original pilots for the series. This review of Soul Calibur was done just a few weeks after the game and the system was released and Mark and Dave enjoyed the gameplay, the trailer for the different characters, footage, sketches, and moves. There is a new Soul Calibur IV coming out soon for the PS3 and Xbox 360 Video Game Systems. Enjoy this look back at how excited we were in 1999 long before we'd even imagined a SoulCalibur 4. Soul Calibur 4 hooooo!
