It would take a good while to get all the constumes, theyre pretty damned expensive compared to weapons

[DragonSphere]

Finished the Weapon Master Mode today...think I'm at level 26 or something, gonna go at it again tomorrow. I'm alternating between Raphael (damn fast with the rapier) and Mitsurugi right now.

Best way to find money for me was that one arena level (5 enemies) with the bonuses- you can get at least 20,000 Gold easily there.

Hell yeah they are...only got 2 costumes so far: one for Mitsurugi and Nightmare.

[Infernal Mass]

just as Dragonsphere mentioned, there's a stage i think it's Chapter 9-2. You get gold for every hit..the most i've gotten in one go is around 30,400. It's almost assured that you'll make around 28,000 to 30,000.

anyone else get a diffrent title screen? mine changed it shows all the characters now, the voice that says.."SOUL CALIBUR 2!!1" changed too.. One time i started it up it sounded like Talim was saying it, another time it sounded like Spawn.



mitsuguri ownz with his masamune btw. It excels in both offense and defense , plus when he does a soul charge his speed increases.

also anyone else notice yoshimitsu has a sword called zantetsuken? that's the same name of the sword used by Odin in FFVIII

[Nelo Angelo]

Ah........But the Damascus Sword > Masamune.

I brought all the costumes today, after all you could just go to Stage 9-2 and beat it over and over.

I forgot to mention that I'm a lvl 76(Platinum Edgemaster).

Oh, and is Spawn good? I only have the GCN version and I'm curious.

[Vicious_2003]

In my opnions spawn in not very good. Hes rather slow. He looks fantastic but as i said..too slow. You figure theyd make him really powerful to counter act his speed diability, but alas they did not. I prefer someone quick who can launch constant rapid asaults . Spawns is rather the opposite

Yeah, me too. But, is that the highest level you can reach? If so, it's kinda annoying they left it off at an uneven number. Why not 75 or 80? Or even 100?

The characters that I don't like much is Beserker and Assassin. They don't much appeal to me. My sister bought the GC version and I bought the PS2 and Xbox version. Link is pretty cool, but the GC controller is kinda difficult to use. I haven't tried the Xbox version yet.

I'm still only at level 68. I've still got a couple of the dungeons to go through on the second chapter. I've got the PS2 version and have to agree with the reviews about the graphics and control of the game. The only bad thing about this game, is the load time between fights. Hope to finish off the rest of the levels and unlock the rest of the items this weekend. TGIFF.

[XXAVIERR]

I've still got one character that hasn't been unlocked.......bottom left corner. Who is it and how do I unlock him/her/it?

[Infernal Mass]

i don't like this game though...honestly.

the music is terrible and the graphics...can someone please tell me what is up with the graphics?

It's like i'm playing a damn Sega Genesis game on the Xbox.

Spoiler: show

I can't stop playing this game, it's like crack, i've never smoked crack but...well it's probably something like this.

Nah, I think you can go up to level 99.

It'll take a very long time though.

[Rev0lution]

Yes i believe the limit is 100 i am currently a level 79. I love this game, the graphics aren't too bad on the xbox version. Some of the missions seem to go to extreme's one moment the guy demolishs you and the next you beat him with ease.

Overall i would say this game's playability should receive a 8 out of 10

[Spank-A-Thon]

Bought this last weekend for PS2 so here are my thoughts...

Load times are noticeable but hardly frustrating - besides, it just provides a great look at the character models.

I haven't noticed any obvious slowdown - or if I have I've just thought it was a special effect! The graphics are nice, crisp and sharp (well, through RGB SCART anyway) but don't have the same 'wow' factor as some earlier PS2 titles. I think this is because we're maybe so used to seeing graphics of this quality - but you do appreciate the graphics more by watching someone else play.

Sound is suitably grandoise as always - the classical-style themes really suit the Soul series to a tee so it was nice to see that not being changed.

The character endings are somewhat of a disappointment. After the superlative CG endings of Soul Edge/Blade (PS1), Namco have resorted to the same style that was present in Soul Calibur.

I'm finding it more enjoyable than Soul Calibur on the DC (I don't think the DC pad helped matters) but to me, neither game are quite as good as the original Soul Edge/Blade.

I miss the original A+B+K combo - the Soul Charge doesn't do it for me unfortunately. I also miss the fact that weapons could be destroyed thus rendering a defensive player practically defenceless - SC/SCII don't penalise players who guard lots.

I can't comment on the GC or Box versions cos I ain't played them, but SCII on PS2 gets the Spank Seal Of Approval.

Both thumbs up from me - easily worth buying and this is coming from someone who finds the likes of Tekken and Virtua Fighter to be sodding boring!

anyone beat Original survival mode? What happens..

Also i unlocked a new title screen recently..it shows the weapons now with little pics of the stages in the background. I think it shows up after unlocking everything..even the two opening movies for the arcade and home versions.

[XXAVIERR]

I had to quit playing this game. I left it alone for a little while and then when I went back to play it, it said that my file was corrupted. I lost all my saved information and couldn't save anything from there on out. One day I'll sit back down and start unlocking everything again.

[Infernal Mass]

i'd be pretty mad if my data got erased.

actually i was considering going thru weapon master mode again, but those damn temples are annoying. It wouldn't be so bad if i could save like half way thru them...i didn't really feel like going thru all that again.

[XXAVIERR]

It's just not the same playing this game without the extra stages, weapons and characters.

[Infernal Mass]

yep, but the Original Survival mode is fun. Good practice too, the opponents get tough at around 10 wins. I think the most i have is 12. I could probably get more if i cheesed out though.
