I recently heard that Soul Calibur IV came out and I was very excited. The previous incarnations had been genre defining games that I had played for what seemed like days straight. So I went out and rented it, and beat it within 45 minutes while I was making and eating lunch….that’s the first problem….the main mode is short as hell! Luckily there was another single player mode that sounded interesting, so I tried that. It was fun and somewhat challenging, but it all comes down to there not being anything really inovative or new in this version. If I didn’t care at all about the upgraded graphics or new characters, I could play Soul Calibur 2 and not miss a thing…and those new elements aren’t enough to make a game really engrossing.
