Since I have 4 very long and happy gambled Soul Calibur, of course, the joy was great on the successor. I regret to say, the game has become not just better. Graphically makes SC 5 her a lot, but otherwise there is nothing better than that of part 4. It lacks some good characters, Talim ... Amy ... Seung Mina, etc. for you now get 3 Characters random weapons and NEN absolutely useless Dampierre ( which also still costs erxtra (DLC) if you have not pre-ordered the game). Something like "Museum" there anyway no more and different game types (Special mode, armorer, survival) are also non-existent. The only thing that there is still next to Online and campaign (20 Chapter 2 hours with sequences) is a mode (quick fight) where you have to defeat 240 different enemies of rank D to A.
The Creative Mode is also underwhelming. Underwear protrudes laterally by addition to the rock and grinding or the like disappears anyway again in the character. Also, there was much less choice (tops almost no choice) and extra clothing costs 240 MS Points (3 Items !!)
From Gameplay Soul Calibur 5 is all right and plays quite smoothly only motivation can relatively quickly and when man has once defeated all opponents and only can gamble against others online, it gets just a bit boring in the long run.
One more thing to Collectors Edition: up to the armor is actually nothing wrong with soundtrack is just superfluous (are only a few songs on it) and the artbook sees also only once. The normal version tuts all times.
