Unfortunately while there are some great points to the game they can get cancelled out by the games horrible story mode which circles around two new characters to the series Pyrrha and Patroklos, the daughter and son of Sophitia who both receive the soul swords. SC5's online experience is one of the best among fighters, like a razor sharp katana its basic, to the point highly effective and well polished as well as the best in the series to date. While the gameplay is pretty simple and straightforward with ranked, unranked and quickmatch you can also record previous matches and send them to friends and opponents waiting to cross swords as well as watch matches live as you wait to fight. Hands down the biggest attraction in SC5 is the online multiplayer. The game looks visually amazing, from the changing fighting arenas to the armor effects and flashy combos SC5 literally shines onscreen and its graphics and gameplay are top notch. The other new addition is the brave edge system, by using a portion of your power meter you can add more damage to special attacks similar to street fighter and Mortal Kombat this adds some defense to the extremely aggro style of gameplay that Soul Caliber is known for. The controls are fast, very responsive and the critical edge system adds a Marvel vs Capcom feel to the game with each character having there own "hyper combo" allowing even newbies to get into the game and do some amazing moves in spite of the fact that there is a learning curve for combos if you are new to the game. The gameplay in SC5 is great as always in the series. SC5 is truly the tale of two swords but overall the game tells two very different story's as well, just as Soul Caliber and Soul Edge are the two polarizing weapons in the series there is an extreme contrast of good and bad in the different game modes of Soul Caliber 5. This time around SC5 goes for a different feel moving the story forward in time and marking a new generation of fighters and their quests for the soul swords, the spirit sword Soul Caliber and the evil Soul Edge. Soul Caliber 5 brings back its amazing fighting engine and also adds to it with the return of the critical edge system from the Soul Edge game from the arcade era as well as major changes to the story. Soul Caliber 5 is the newest installment from Namco and Project Soul of the blade wielding fighting franchise.
