- Soul Calibur II
Soul Calibur II is the continuation of the Soul series. A fighting game in which characters continue to battle for the power of Soul Edge, to harness it or destroy it. This game is a classic in the GameCube titles. With Link of the Legend of Zelda as a guest character for the GameCube, Soul Calibur II is tons of fun! With quotable characters, like Nightmare, Ivy, and Yoshimitsu, each with their own vibrant personalities, creative backstories, and unique fighting styles, it makes for a good fighting game. Obviously one can fight against a friend, or by themselves, but a fun addition to this game is the two costumes each character has, as well as a variety of weapons each character can use to enhance the fight experience. The musical soundtrack here is somewhat memorable, but not too noteworthy. What IS noteworthy however, is the simplicity of the fights. There aren’t so many finishing moves, no complicated forms or anything, it’s just a simple fight that makes it simple. However, fans of the series have noted that the CPU AI has a tendency to “cheat” and anticipate your moves to make the fight more difficult, but it isn’t so debilitating that the game is impossible. – Thomas Cregge
