Soul Calibur 4 Review

This page provides links to some of the online reviews of Soul Calibur IV, a video game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Soul Calibur IV is set in the 16th century, as over 30 contenders battle for possession of the powerful soul swords: the holy Soul Calibur and the cursed Soul Edge.¹

A 1up.com reviewer praised the game's online features as well as the addition of a new Critical Finish system, which encourages users to play offensively. Blocking excessively will cause a player's soul gauge to deplete, leaving them vulnerable to a special attack that can render them weaker for the remainder of a fight.²
