Not only is this the best fighter that has ever appeared on any system ever, but it's one of the best videogames I've ever played in my 20+ years of gaming. The graphics are beautiful, the animation fluid, the action intense, the sound and music outstanding, and, overall, this game just simply crushes anything else I've ever seen. This is undoubtedly my most-played Dreamcast game ever. I bought it in Sept 99 and still play it today. How many other games have that kind of longevity?

If you don't already own Soulcalibur you are seriously deranged.

The most complete game ever

This game is so good..so amazing....i dont even know what to say...The graphics are mindblowing better than you'd think the 128-bit system could handle....the extras that you could unlock in this game are astonshing...you can direct instant replays make movies, etc. all in all this game is worth more than the 50- price..you should even buy the dreamcast for 100 and this game because this game makes it worth it.

The Elite of the Elite when it comes to fighting games.

We've encounterd numerous fighting games over the years for both arcades and video game consoles alike. Some classic, some garbage, and everything in between. Soul Cailbur isn't your average fighting game. In fact, I wouldn't even rate Soul Calibur with other fighting games in comparison. I'd put it right up there as a classic's of classic's with games such as Final Fantasy III, and VII, Sim City for the Super NES, the original TMNT and Mario 3 for the regular NES.

It's easily the best fighting game ever, and so much more. You could almost classify it as a role playing game with the story line involved. Other classic fighting games like the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series were excellent, but with mediocre story lines with the characters (fighers) involved. With Soul Calibur, you'll find characters you'd think came straight out a role playing game.

The sound and controls are flawless. The replay value is beyond adequate for the money you pay for it, whether it be used or new. In fact, the only reason I bought a Dreamcast was for the Sonic series (which are classic's by the way), and Soul Calibur. If you have a good friend who is really skilled at this game, (as well as you of course) you'll never get tired of playing this game. Guaranteed from yours truly. Get it.

PERFECT

The fact that Soul Calibur is still arguably the BEST fighting game on ANY console is a testament to how good the game really is. One would think that a game released with the debut of its console would lose its luster after the console's initial stages but Soul Calibur continues to be regarded as the fighting game to end all fighting games not just for dreamcast but for all consoles. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Flawless graphics, addictive gameplay, major replay value, appropriately breathtaking soundtrack (both music and sound fx) and an epic storyline all make Soul Calibur a must have for gamers of all genres. To be honest, I bought a Dreamcast specifically for this game and it hasn't disappointed. If you own a dreamcast and don't have this game, you are nuts not to get it.

Still the Best Console Fighter Out!!

I still play my dreamcast because of this game. It is better than any fighter out on ps2 or xbox and will remain the best until Soul Caliber 2 is released for gamcube, xbox, and ps2.
It sports beautiful graphics and a fun fighting system, this is the game that makes me wonder why dreamcast isn't around i'm just glad the sequel is nearing its release.

It remains the best console fighter.

The best fighting game in a long time

First of all this game has awesome graphics, nothing on any other system/computer compares to them. The game is fun with a bunch of characters, and several that are unlockable, plus a mission mode where you have certain goals with story elements that comply with the story of the game, playing through the mission mode you earn points so you can spend them to view artwork, viewing the art can unlock new options, arenas etc. Buy it.

Best reason to buy a DC

Forget any other reason for buying a Dreamcast -- Soul Calibur remains as the sole good reason for spending the money. It's worth the money, it's worth the money, and it's worth your time to check it out. You may have some trouble grabbing a copy of Soul Calibur, because every Dreamcast owner probably purchased this at the counter when picking up their system. Soul Calibur is the ultimate in fighting games - sleek, graphically unparalleled, and deep - and ranks as the best fighting game out there. It's set apart from its competitors by the double knockout of a great look and solid game play. Based on last years hit arcade game, and a sequel to the smash PlayStation hit, Soul Blade, Soul Calibur pits ten fighters against each other in a standard two-out-of three battle for supremacy. But might doesn't always make for right in this game. Soul Calibur is unprecedented in its game balance, with large, impressive bulky fighters on the same ground as small, fast players. The ten starting fighters are just that - a starting lineup. Through game play and advancement you'll uncover many cameo fighters, like Yoshimitsu from Tekken, and Seung Mina and Hwang from Soul Blade. There are also mystery stages and costume changes to uncover. Soul Calibur also offers many new options that the arcade version couldn't. Battle Mode, Team Battle, and Survival modes all lend the game an enormous replay value, while the sometimes complicated move system is helped out by a very thorough Practice mode that explains every move and shows you how to execute them. Graphically, the game evolves past its arcade counterpart in every respect, with incredible detail and superior polygon counts. Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast is without a doubt the best looking fighting game ever, with nuances like muscle rippling, facial expressions of pain, fear, and anger, and caustic lighting effects that dazzle the eyes. The game also excels in the area of sound, achieving what other games only dream of - the perfect balance of music, voice, and sound effects. Clashing swords, primal yelling, and blood-pumping heroic themes course through the game, all meshing for the perfect sonic mix. Namco has retooled the fighting dynamics so that both button-mashers and serious students of ass-whupping can both benefit and prosper in the game. Although novices can easily beat the game on easier settings, the game definitely favors those who understand Soul Calibur's complexities, like dodging, vertical and 8-way run attacks, and stagger blocking. Someone who has mastered the arcade game will find the differences in the moves trifling, while every one else will scarcely notice. What are you waiting for? Sonic can wait, TrickStyle will still be pulling tricks next week, and NFL 2K has a millenium ahead of it. There's no excuse for you not to be enjoying the best fighting game this year, and possibly the best ever. Power Stone and the laughable Mortal Kombat Gold can't touch the soul of this fighter, but you can.

The characters are beautifully rendered and move fluidly, unlike some games in which they appear jerky. Also, the controls are responsive. It has a nice learning curve so that it's great for beginners and advanced players. This is the best fighting game ever. I highly recommend it.

Even with the new consoles on the market, this game is still the best fighting game out there. Just so you all know, the Dreamcast is a 128 bit system just like the others. So, the graphics can be just as good. Could have used a few more fighters, but that's my only complaint. The backgounds are breath taking. The fighters have THE coolest specials moves I've ever seen. And, the special moves arn't really all that hard to use. You can get to them a lot of times with just a bit of luck. Some of the other fighting games I've played, I was never able to make them do the really cool moves because they were too complicated to pull off. So, I never got to see them. This is a must have game for Dreamcast owners.

Revision:
This is still the best fighting game out. Even with the XBox and PS2 out. Me and a friend still hook up the old Dreamcast to play this from time to time. Can't wait untill the next one. As of this new review, this will selling on Amazon.com for more than it was when Dreamcast was still out. I guess that tells you a little something about how good this game is.
