Soul Calibur 2

[Zildjin81]

So yesterday me and my buddy found Soul Calibur 2 in a pile of his old video games and decided "Hell, let's try it," First thing we jumped into a few multiplayer battles, learned a few combos then went to try out the campaign. I expected to to get maybe a quarter through the campaign but instead we finished in 2-3 hours. Is that it? Only 3 hours of gameplay? Is there more to Soul Calibur 2 than that? I have spent more time on solitaire!

Sorry for my grotesque grammar/punctuation.

Twas better then the soul caliber 3 campaign....

There's an adventure mode where you have to unlock zillions of costumes, custom weapons, amps, gamemodes, characters and all kinds of stuff.
That will extend the gameplay with a few more hours.

Personally, I preferred SC1 on the DreamCast

And the soul calibur 4 campaign (if you can even call that a campaign).

And you must be seriously good at soul calibur because im still not done with that campaign (just one more fight).

lol, that was a long time ago.
i "was" good at it. lol.
but yah SC4 was so pathetic. i beat it with one guy and decided it was a worthless campaign.

I always considered it just a vs beat 'em up. the campaign thing I played only once to unlock the extras. No real point to it, then again, it's really just a minor distraction to the real game.

The only thing I remember about Soul Calibur 2 was Nightmare and... jiggling... bouncing... er... uh...

 

[sanzo]

Yeah, there's an entire side-quest type thing in that game. You choose a starting character, a name, and go fight stuff, essentially. It can really increase the game play time, but it's pretty fun too

I never really got into Soul Calibur II...all I did was button mash.

How do you guys really get into a fighting game? I mean, do you really have to spend hours in the training arena, memorizing the combo screen to get any good?

I just can't be that committed to a fighting game.

The soul calibur series has been scientifically proven to be the most button mashey successful fighting game series ever.

i just memorize a dozen varied combos for different situations to use in a fight.

It's not that hard to get into it. Just play with a friend, have fun learning moves by accident.

I don't remember Soul Calibur 2's campaign, but I do remember the annoying dungeons.

I personally liked the Soul Blade campaign. It had a lot that you could read about and that's why I used to know a lot about the Soul Calibur series.

 

[YukoValis]

I personally like Soul Blade better then most of the Caliburs. Even though the jumping was too much, it had a really good story mode.

Playing Soul Caliber 2 for the campaign experience is like playing Halo 3 so you can watch an action movie.

Did u do all the extra missions and unlock all the weapons, cause thats about half the content of the campaign.
