wow i knew it was gonna have the demos but d/l extras too!

edit: i was just thinking ..what sorta d/l extras could they throw on a disc...for Tekken Tag and Tekken 4

i hope it's something better than like save files with all the characters and stages unlocked. ..that would be kinda ghey. Hopefully they got some better stuff than that on there.

like for example:

new stages - but how much memory card space would that take up.

new costumes - this i can see being possible..but still how much space?

that's pretty cool. The design is a little ..meh but it's still pretty cool.

[dan da man]

It looks good, but just for one game il leave it.

[Infernal Mass]

just a few more days left.

you know what sucks though..My local Gmaestop stopped selling games the day before release. i think they got like new management or something. It's all good though one day ain't gonna kill noone. Still though they use to be cool like that.

[omni vengeance]

WOO gotta get SC2!!! Especially to have a game where you get to play as Link..heh

[Infernal Mass]

just got back in with my copy gonna throw some impressions down shortly.


the artbooks is nice.

[Infernal Mass]

i've been playing since i got back in.

this game is alot of fun.

There's both japanese and english voice overs.(english @ default)
The english dubs are pretty cool. Although, i prefer the japanese voices cause japanese people sound alot cooler when they get pissed off.
( )

The audio is excellent, music fits each battle very nice. The sounds are also done very well.

these are just a few first impressions.
i'll be back with more.

Ah, one question:

Does this include all of the SC games for the PS2 ? I mean, is the demo disk included regardless or was this only for pre-ordered games at certain locations?

BTW, I think the GC version is actually quite good .

I have played the X-Box version enough to tell you that it still don't beat Soul Caliber for the Dreamcast. There is no need for me to play the other versions if the X-Box one is the best of the three. I sure would'nt to use Link but Heihachi would be cool to use, he is the man when it comes to Tekken.

[Vicious_2003]

I rented it today for X Box and i must say. I am NOT impressed. I really dont know what earns this game a ten out of ten as its gotten from so many reviewers. I mean, what really sets this game apart ? It seems to me to be just like any other fighting game ive played. And I dont think it comes close to comparing to Virtual Fighter 4. I played it on the first difficulty and beat the game (Arcade Mode) with spawn in less than 20 minutes. There was almost no story element to the game and I found the fighting itself to be on par with most descent fighting games but I certainly wasnt wowed. The environments were bland at best and could have used some multi teers to spice things up. Im going to get deeper into the weapons mastery mode but that so far appears to be a training course that i really dont want to waste my time with. Practicing overhand chops isnt my idea of fun. If I were to review this game on a scale from 1 to ten using .5 intervals. Id give Soul Caliber II for the X Box a solid 7.5 out of ten.

I havent gotten bored enough to put SCII back in the X box. So if there are exciting elements i should check out please, fill me in.

[Infernal Mass]

weapon master mode is where it's at. that's where the chicken and biscuits are.

The whole soul calibur/blade/edge story is still a bit confusing to me. From what i've been able to understand though, it's a pretty damn cool one. I'm still in the process of unlocking everything, like the alternate costumes and modes..there's ALOT of stuff to unlock.

Oh and let me be the first to say that Berserker character sucks ass!!

[Vic Viper]

w00t ! just got the game today, ps2 version. im off to play the game.

and happy_dounut the demo disc is included inside the box.

[Infernal Mass]

Vic, try unlocking the Extra Arcade mode after creating a profile for Weapon Master Mode.

Then, when you try to unlock the character profiles by beating the game with each character use the Extra Arcade mode..instead of original.

it's a bit tougher, but you get double the gold!

easy money

[Vic Viper]

thanks for the heads up, im still on the training mode with ivy.

[Infernal Mass]

no problem, i found out the hard way myself. I beat the game with Kilik and Maxi before creating a profile for weapon Master mode...missed out on that gold. Then i beat the orginal mode with like half the characters before even trying out the Extra Arcade mode.

missed out on alot of gold there.

[Vicious_2003]

Ive played a little bit through the weapon Master mode and im still not too impressed. Being able to buy a few different weapons for your characters is neat, but nothing to get excited about. And i hate the storyline. Theres a legendary powerful sword and your on a quest to obtain it. Oh man, I wonder how long it took to think up ?.

I especially love the way thay string fights together with boring ass text screens that are supposed to fill in for good cut scenes I suppose . I got tired of readin them very quickly and just gave up on it. So now its random, monotonous*, battles against all too famialiar characters. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sure the games got some good things going for it, but I dont see what seperates it from any other halfway descent fighting game.
And thats without mentioning the extreemly cheezy dialougue . "Listen to the beat of my soul" ? What the hell are you talking about ?

It saddens me to see great games like Enter the Matrix being dogged by the reviewers while Rehashes like SC2 get Perfect Tens. I just dont get it

[Infernal Mass]

what kind of downloadable content is on the Ps2 demo?
the tekken stuff..what exactly did they put on there
