Classic Game Room reviews SOUL CALIBUR for Sega Dreamcast

Classic Game Room season 1. November, 1999. Soul Calibur was released in Japan in 1998 but found its way to the United States at the launch of the Sega Dreamcast video game console on 9-9-99. Remember the ads? Remember the hype about September 9th, 1999? It was like the moon was going to crash into the earth or something... The Sega Dreamcast was launched to start a whole new era in gaming. In its defense it was very good, however Sega could not stop the juggernaut of the Playstation 2 PS2 that was released the following year. Soul Calibur is an excellent fighting game featuring one player and two player combat. Soul Calibur is actually regarded as one of the best fighting games, if not one of the best video games of all time. Soulcalibur is the second game in the Soul series, following the game Soul Edge. It was produced and developed by Namco (the same place that made Pac Man and Dig Dug). SoulCalibur allows players to fight with a traditional arcade feel and style with detailed rendered characters in unique and flambouyant 3D environments, much like Virtua Fighter 5 or DOA2. This was the 4th Classic Game Room episode and is regarded as one of the original pilots for the series. This review of Soul Calibur was done just a few weeks after the game and the system was released and Mark and Dave enjoyed the gameplay, the trailer for the different characters, footage, sketches, and moves. There is a new Soul Calibur IV coming out soon for the PS3 and Xbox 360 Video Game Systems. Enjoy this look back at how excited we were in 1999 long before we'd even imagined a SoulCalibur 4. Soul Calibur 4 hooooo!

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Classic Game Room HD marked the return of the series in 2008. The original Classic Game Room reviewed Atari, NES, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast and Playstation... too bad they didn't get to Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 or Wii. Now Classic Game Room HD is covering the new systems. list trailers

@humanice2 Not in my book. In SC4 Sigfried has the same moves as Nightmare in SC2.

[humanice2]

@moolate127 at the SC3 era I started playing seigfried instead of nightmare, because he had the better moves

[tonstad39]

Actually that is exactly how fast NTSC is

I had to buy a Dreamcast on ebay tonight just for this game. You don't know how much fun nostalgia this game brings back. I hardly use my ps2 or ps3 but this one is making me go back to my days of enjoying great arcade games on Dreamcast in a times of tiresome FPS this days. Can't beat that

[moolate127]

Nightmare is my fav character here is my badassness of Nightmare in each game.

Soul Calibur Nightmare- Badass

Soul Calibur 2 Nightmare- Super Badass

Soul Calibur 3 Nightmare- Badass

Soul Calibur 4 Nightmare- Mega Badass

@demanboy1231 Why did thay have a 2 Minute Intro?

[TheFatty2497]

These graphics were so good that I think they could easily pass as a new game on the wii.
