Delivering new gameplay modes, characters and enhanced features with unprecedented 3D modeling and animation, Soulcalibur IV aims to be a definitive fighting game experience.<\/p>\n<p>Set to finally reveal the origins of the Soulcalibur saga, the game features both new and familiar faces from across the galaxy who seeks the rival swords for their own goals. Continuing the tradition of breaking new boundaries, legendary Star Wars icons Darth Vader and Yoda invade the Soulcalibur universe to add a new layer of depth, challenge, and mystery. Also for the first time in the franchise, customized characters or original favorites can be taken online to challenge others for the top spot of this timeless series.<\/p>\n<p>Score: Graphics: 10, Sound: 8, Gameplay: 9, Multiplayer: 9, Overall: 9 of 10<\/p>\n<p>Review: I&#8217;ve always been a fan of one on one fighting games, so I threw Soulcalibur IV into my Xbox 360, turned off my brain and enjoyed myself immensely! Soulcalibur IV is loaded with some really stylish graphics, easy to use controls and lots of awesome new characters including some from the Star Wars saga. Also be sure to check out their new and improved character creation tools, where you can modify the look of your favorite characters.<\/p>\n<p>Soulcalibur IV boasts some really beautiful scenery and nicely done atmospheric effects, adding a nice setting for the combat.  Considering the intensity of the graphics, I was amazed at how fast each level loaded, in seconds you were onto the next level.<\/p>\n<p>What I enjoyed most is the controls, they are simple and without much practice you can slice, dice and kick your way in combat. While easy to use, I still managed to pull off a bunch of killer new combos and power moves.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you&#8217;ll never get bored playing the same characters, Soulcalibur boasts 30+ characters including Darth Vader and Yoda from the Star Wars Saga.<\/p>\n<p>If your a fan of really entertaining fighting games, this one&#8217;s for you!<\/p>\n<p>By Brian Corder<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image7929\" src=\"http:\/\/www.toxicshock.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/soulcalibur_iv_yoda.jpg\" alt=\"Soulcalibur IV Yoda\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Game Description: From Namco&#8217;s acclaimed weapon-based fighting series comes the fourth chapter in the series (and first for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3).
