Let me start by saying that I am not a kid I am 14. First of all this is just like Mortal Cimbat but with swords and it some manages to cheat more. For exmple, in Weapons Master you will fight the same person expert they have a huge advantages like they come in groups of three or sometimes five. Cheating! Now in my strong opion you should be able to set the difficulty of Weapons Mode because eventaully your oppent beomes to sissy by blocking a WHOLE lot. And then there buying stuff. the weapons you get 90% of the are useless no wait lower than that. And the cost for a new outfit is insane. The cost for that is at least the of 4 weapons. You think a new outfit makes your character stronger but it doesn't. So unless you are on crack get this game.

this game was awful. watching the characters try to move around the screen in that annoying circle motion pissed me off to no end! this was absolutly terrible FFX2 was better than this and FFX2 was pretty bad. if u want a real fighting game thats way better with good graphics buy super smash bros meele. the only reason this game got any stars is the fact its graphics are really good other then that this is the worst game ive played in ages. (the worst is jak)

Waste of time, waste of money

I played this game for about two days before it lost my attention. Soul Calibur 2 might look nice, but as far as playability goes, this is a pathetic sequel to the first.

First of all, the player interface is slow. Characters respond slowly to commands, making it almost impossible to block or do combos in an actual fight. Secondly, many of the characters are locked. But unlike in SC1, you have to go through a tedious "weapon master mode" in order to unlock them. This would be fine if the "weapon master mode" were actually challenging, but it appears that instead of making a good AI, Namco has decided to waste our time by throwing us these ridiculous and time-consuming scenarios we have complete in order to get the most out of the game WE PAYED for. For example, instead of throwing you a series of hard characters in a mission match, they will just give you the same dumb computer but put "earthquakes" or "booby traps" into the match to take away your health (but not the enemy's). That apparently has become Namco's idea of a "challenge". I call it a waste of time. Third, the music and sound [is bad]. The songs for all the levels are cheezy, and all the characters -- instead of having cool Japanese voices -- now say really corny things in English that barely make sense. For example, before many matches, Mitsurugi will say "Don't cry". Huh??? But is just the icing on the cake for a game that just can't cut it.

My advice to you is to save your [money] and stick with Soul Calibur 1. That game was made when Namco still knew how to make games.

Soul calibur 2 is the best fighting game since tekken.This game offers A wide selection of modes too.The fighting, and gameplay plus,the great graphics make this game perfect.The game is very fun and isnt hard at first,it will get tough.If I were you and I had the choice,I would buy this.(weapon master mode is the best mode ever!!)

this game would be so rad if they had a different main character for ps2. i have to give props to the game though awesome fighting game with the rpg style of showing you the number of hp points have been taken from damage. I would give five for the xbox and gamecube i mean they got spawn and link and we got some ... from tekken 4 which sucked. to make this game rad the ps2 people should have made the kingdom hearts version of cloud (from final fantasy 7 for the playstation) as their main character mascot.

Great Playability

Story is weak and the music is dated (compared to Tekken 4), but the fighting and playability is just fantastic. Not a perfect game, but feel it has the best playability of any fighter. Think some people will be disapointed by the overall feel of the game though.

I love this game just because its fun -- been playing every chance I can get for the last week. Lots of characters and weapons. Learning curve is quick, but you don't have to memorize tons of moves for you and your buddies to have a good time --- i.e. fun for people who do something besides play games all day. If you love playing the Street and Madden Football and want a cool fast fighting game, this is the one.

My recommendations to the designers that would have taken this game to a whole new level --

1) Better storyline and ambiance. Add some really good short animated movies and spend more time on character development.

2) Sexier and more voluptuous female characters (think hot vampires and assasins). Give them some provacative fighting moves, suggestive language and skimpy outfits to choose from.

About 90-100 but not bad

Hey all I bought this game like a week ago(I bought it even though I can only play games on weekends, yup it's that good!). I got to know this game on Play Station 2 Magazine demo. This game is truly amazing, mesmerizing, visually stunning, etc. Lot of people including the people who wrote PS2 Magazine gave this game a perfect score and said it's flawless. I HAD to give it 5 stars since... it's so good! But the game isn't as good as I expected it to be... MAY BE I had too high expectation... I noticed most of my friends prefered Tekken over Soul Calibur2(they are both from Namco by the way) and I didn't understand why. But now I do. Soul Calibur is fun and I like the fact you get weapons to fight with. But for some reason, after you play this for awhile, you get sick of it quickly. Also, on my magazine it said that Soul Calibur 2 isn't a button-masher and I agree with that but still there are moves that are hard to block and can be performed continuously with no delays like the one Raphael uses. And one more thing I found that the Japanese version has better voice acting than the US version. Overall, I would recommend this game for anyone who is looking for a fun game... But I must say the fun won't last forever!
