Soul Calibur 4 is short but a classic become very good fighting game. Both online and with friends it is great fun, only to disappoint the Singleplayermodi, which does not fall further into the weight in such a game. The graphics are great, the sound is also very well done and completes the good overall image off nicely. With 34 characters is well for each of the right image and also you can choose the appearance and skills as well as weapons in a separate mode freely and so create its individual character. The characters play this is partially very different a few resemble unfortunately very strongly that hardly interferes in the way of playing with so much choice. Only a few things spoil the fun, especially the single-player mode. Although there are also 3 different modes, however, disappointed the story mode with an extremely short season and barely existing story, the Tower of Lost Souls where you come through fighting Duch 60 levels because of escalating difficulty fast times of frustration and the arcade mode is nothing more than aneindergereihte fights without any story. As the game gets its charm anyway by fighting against real players fall not so significant and therefore should be the single-player mode in any case regarded only as an exercise. The only drawback is on-line, that does not appear in the game looking for ranked matches if the game is already full or not. It sucks when you 4 times successively clicks on an already full play and the search then must start anew. But all in all a very successful fighting game that can be very long and entertained in between always sets the mood for a few fights.
