Full description

The first game in memory to look better on a console than it did in the arcade, Soulcalibur offered amazing visuals as a Dreamcast launch title, and still remains one of the best-looking and best-playing fighting games years later. Featuring over a dozen characters wielding different weapons, a deep single-player mission mode, and the smoothest fighting engine to date, Soulcalibur will undoubtedly remain one of the best fighting games of all time. Followed by an arcade and multi-platform sequel in 2003.

Soul Calibur is Namco's most recent fighting game, the latest in the SoulEdge/SoulBlade series. The Dreamcast version plays exactly like the version you've seen in the arcades, but this isn't merely a port; Namco spent a great deal of time ensuring that this disk is packed with extras for the people at home. The artwork was redone from scratch, giving you higher res 3D backgrounds, new model animations, new moves and even a couple new playable characters. Yes, the home version is better than the arcade version, even graphically. Hello Dreamcast!
