Soul Edge / Soul Blade
(LAST UPDATE: 4/27/06)

Profile

General: Soul Blade is the home version of the arcade game Soul Edge... Both games feature 3D weapon-based fighting, taking skilled warriors from different lands and pitting them against each other: including the Japanese samurai Mitsurugi; the English knight Siegfried; and the greek princess Sophitia...
   The home version allows players to set off on a story mode in which they can achieve several different weapons per character, a nice touch, which adds some cool replay value. This was the start of a truly great series...
Manufacturer: Namco

Comment: This game was the start of another great series by Namco... The only flaw was the frame rate and animation, but Namco obviously fixed that problem with Soul Calibur...
