SoulCalibur IV 2008

Is it still worth playing?

A 2008 fighting game from Namco Bandai Games, the fifth main Soulcalibur, with enhanced graphics and three guest characters from Star Wars: Darth Vader, Yoda and the Apprentice. It has Story, Arcade, Training and Museum modes, and a new mode, Tower of Lost Souls, where you win battles to gain rewards. The Character Creation mode from Soulcalibur III returns, but you choose which character from the series your creation mimics, and a wide array of new equipment is available. A new online multiplayer mode lets you compete in Standard and Special versus modes. The Critical Finish system and the Force Meter for the guest characters are new to combat. It runs in HD with 5.1 surround sound on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Online play is a first for the series. Armor that breaks still keeps a defensive player from hiding behind a guard.
