Get Dynamite Cop instead

This game has absolutly no fun factor. You'll play it once and then throw it away. The graphics are an example of sega rushing to make a game during the early days of Dreamcast.
There are only 3 characters and their moves a very weak. The magican isn't even able to cast any spells. He can not turn enemies into cats, frogs, etc.

Spend your money on Dynamite Cop instead.

I played this game and when I played it I liked it becuase it is like golden axe.Both of those games are fun to play. Eventhough it is rated for teens I thought it was not too scary, maybe just a little in the dark places. I think other kids will like it.

Could've been better....

I got this game, along with a couple of other games on my birthday from relatives (beware when a relative does such a risky move as this. They usually buy the cheapest game for you, knowing ONLY that you like to play video games). So I popped Soul Fighter in my Dreamcast. Let's start with the pros:
The graphics aren't that bad. the CG scenes could have been a LOT better, and the "king" doing the narraration in the beginning could've used some voice acting lessons. He sounded like a fake Sean Connery. Haha...it is to laugh. Ooops, did I say pros? Well, you can choose from three characters...that's about it. Well, on to the cons:
The first thing that really urked me was the control. I wasn't to thrilled about how slippery the character movements are. If you move with the analog, your character automatically starts running, and if you want to make a short stop, you have to stop really early, so as not to slide. The second thing that literally began to make me nautious, was the awkward camera angles. It's a little difficult to get your bearings and to find out where enemies are with the camera spinning and turning pretty much when it pleases. Of course, there is very little storyline, because it IS a beat 'em up. then there's the issue of lack of fighting moves. You end up wearing out your thumbs and your controller buttons with the lack of good combo moves and fighting strategies (e.g. Streets of Rage 1,2 & 3). The last thing that was a big downer was the fact that with a little tweaking on the above mentioned things and by adding a 2 player option, this game would have been something special. In conclusion, it's not that it's COMPLETELY horrible, but, if a little more time had been put into gameplay, then Soul Fighter wouldn't seem so much as a rushed job. Rent it, or purchase it if you want to have a library of DC games. Other than that, it's not one to write home about.

Nice graphics but terrible controls

What looks to be an entertaining fighting game is hindered by awkward and edgy controls. You have a choice of selecting 1 of 3 characters each with their own unique fighting styles. Although each fighter is quite fluid in their movements, controlling them so that they hit their target is not quite as intuitive. Button mashing will only create frustration since most moves are made of a sequences - the character will initiate each move accordingly and until he/she is finished you may end up facing a wall with your targets behind you. You can change the view from 1st person to more of an overhead - 1st person is nice if you need to target a long distance enemy or figure out distance for longer weapons (swords). Button mashing will not work as intuitively as most fighting games. Although it isn't unusual to face one enemy at a time, it also isn't out of the ordinary to be bombarded by two or three enemies attacking in what seems like at the same time. Learning to control movement so that you are facing the target will prove to be the largest obstacle. Once you figure that out you can get your character to do a number of very useful and interesting moves. Two different modes will determine whether you have more than one life to lose or see how long you can last with one life option (Adventure mode). The game can be highly frustrating and tends to be more eye candy than entertaining.

Boring and limited compared to others on the market.

Unless you are about 5 years of age and have no concept of quality/fun/gaming, I'd not recommend this game. It gets boring after about 5 minutes. Even the intro was terrible. The story line was stupid, and all in all, I'd give this game a big zero. The graphics are decent, but the boredom and useless factor weigh against anything relevant. If you would like to check it out anyway, I'd recommend you rent it first. Who knows, a few people may enjoy it.

Grotesque, stumbling main characters.

Ugh. Not only is the point of view confusing, but the main characters stumble around and don't want to go in the direction you want them to. It's almost impossible to keep them from walking into a wall every time they change direction. If it weren't for the hand in the top corner pointing direction, you'd never get anywhere. As it is, sometimes the hand makes you stumble around in circles.

How to get motionsickness...

This qualifies as the worst game available for Dreamcast currently. It spins, it swirls, it will make you throw up after causing your head to circle and circle and circle and circle.

There's no redeeming quality to this game at all.

Steer very clear.

A Soul Fighter Review

This is not to great a game, at list that's what I think. The 3d fx aren't to bad but its not the best iv seen. This game has a lame background story that has bean used in several games in the past years. But a perfectly good game in any other way . ; )So if you're looking for entertainment this is probably your game.

The makers of SoulFighter need professional therapy

The makers of Soul Fighter really crossed the line as far as i'm concerned. This is by far one of the worst games i've ever played in my life. Graphics and music don't mean everything (And neither one of those were thoroughly impressive). First and formost, if i wanted to get a dizzy spell, i could just as easily run outside and spun in circles and saved myself about 50 dollars. Then you have to listen to the same old music over and over and over (get the point?). And lets not even get into the fun factor of this game. This is one of the first games i've ever played where i took it back only hours afterward. Some might say that i should have given it more time. Trust me. It didn't deserve the small amount of time i gave it. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
