Soul Calibur II Rocks!!!
Got my copy of SC2 for the Xbox today and it rocks!!
Graphics is great, gameplay is excellent but only the sound is the one lacking. Personally i think it really doesn't matter which console you play on, this game is almost perfect. Load times on the XBox is really fast. Although if you have an Xbox, i think you should go for it but nevertherless, this is one game that should be in every fighting fan's collection. In conclusion, i think i would give it only a 9/10 only due to the fact that the sound could be better.

What's the big deal with this game?
Did I see Spawn as one of the characters? What's that about?

Gamecube--Link from Legend of Zelda
XBox--Spawn
PS2--Heihachi from the Tekken series
As for what's the big deal? Just play it and you'll see what the big deal is. I still have the original for Dreamcast and it is still one of the best fighters I've ever played.

I played the demo of it on the last OXM demo disk and I just could not get into it. I loved the one on DC but something just did not feel right when playing that demo. Does it play better then the demo version? I got no idea why I hated that demo something just did not feel right about it.

Sueng Mina is obnoxious. Blah. I liked slapping her around with Rock using the biggest hammer he had. Now Taki, there's a girl with some class.

I think the sound is terrific. What's wrong with the sound? Are you playing it on a dolby digital 5.1 surround sound system? I am and I think it sounds great. I hear the wind in the back speakers and the sound just really seems to immerse me into the game. I really disagree with saying the sound isn't good.

However, it really depends on how well the game maker sets it up on the game. I have some really great 5.1 games like HALO, GHOST RECON, and MECHASSAULT and some not so good 5.1 games like BLOORAYNE where the sound is hollow and not very well executed.

Another bonus on the Xbox version is the support of 720p compared to only 480p on Cube and I believe 480p ( I did read somewhere 525p so I'm not sure) on PS2. The game looks amazing on my HDTV.

HMM well I got no porb with the control it was the game play something about it just did not feel right to me. Maybe it was cause I'm just not good at the game now like I was on the DC I mean I was getting my ass headed to me really bad. They may also have changed the speed or something just something about the game play did not feel right I did not like that girl she was to fast moving and nightmare is god damn slow as **** now so he was hard to use I will rent the full game and I hope when I play it more and get deeper into it and used to the speed changes I'll like it as much as the one on DC. I do wish thay would bring back the in-game movies that was on the PSX game.
