The character design and animation is smooth and flawless

Soul Calibur 4
is a weapons based fighting game for the Xbox 360 & Playstation 3 developed by Namco. You fight your way through different enemies, each with their own distinctive fighting style.
The graphics look great. A lot of detail has been put into all the designs. Fighters are detailed and well animated. Levels are good looking, though you'll find it hard to concentrate on them much.
By going online you'd assume there would only be about 6 characters, but there are actually 33. Two of these are Star Wars characters, and every character has a very unique style. You are also able to customize characters' clothing, and make your own characters from scratch. Everything is well balanced. My only complaint is that PS3 owners get Vader, while 360 owners get Yoda... that's just not nice.
The online play is a lot of fun, though quite difficult at times. It really is a humbling experience to take your skills onto the internet, because you might realize you have none. Somewhere, some people are playing a huge amount of this game, and it took me about a week or two to be able to really compete with them. Once you learn though, it's very fun.
Overall, this is a great game. If you were a fan of the previous Soul Calibur titles, you should pick this up ASAP. Otherwise, it's definitely worth a rental.
