This thread has been linked to the game 'Soul Calibur'.
I am thinking of getting Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast yet having never played the game or seen previous installments I am unaware of what the game plays like. Please would someone explain to me how the game works and what type of fighting game it is? Does the game have fatalities or pit deaths like Mortal Kombat? Are there multiple levels to fight on like in Dead or Alive 3? Will the graphics WOW me as IGN say or do they look dated 3 years on? Any information about the game would be appreciated, thanks!

I played it for about 2 months solid a year or so ago... Let's just say you won't be disappointed.
From what I remember: no fatalities. Stunning [ahead-of-their-time] graphics. It plays like Dead or Alive 3 except with weapons, and in my opinion the gameplay of the fighting is better than DOA3. It requires more skill.
Loads of fighting stages. There's a huge story mode kind of thing where you collect special artwork cards as you progress - I think there is 100 cards to collect. Loads of stuff to unlock - movies of the fighters going through all their attacks, etc.
Great game. Some say the best modern beat-em-up....
