"Dreamcast launched with 18 games and Soul Calibur trumped them all. Combatants from across the globe, such as the nimble Taki and the samurai sword wielding Mitsurugi, competed to capture the dangerous Soul Edge, a powerful sword that transformed humans into monsters. Its smooth fighting mechanics attracted both casual and hardcore players, and we spent countless hours passing the controllers around, devising strategies to outlast our opponents while at the same time, marveling at the epic soundtrack and beautiful graphics. . . Addictive, a must buy and a watershed moment in gaming, Soul Calibur is Dreamcast's finest." - Chris Buffa, GameDaily
