IGN has > declared the XBOX the winner. Eat that. Right.. and they were sure firm about that weren't they? "For our final recommendation, we have to give you some important advice. Soul Calibur II, a fighter with exclusive, popular characters, is really not about technicalities in the end. If you want to know what version to buy or rent, the answer is simple: choose based on your favorite exclusive character and controller. Only if you have absolutely no interest in the exclusive character for each version should you base your decision on technical merits. "

I bought the Xbox version because I own a HDtv, but I did think about getting the GameCube version. To me it just came down to the controller.

Eat that. Same here, fighting games just don't appeal to me anymore at all. They're all basically the same. There hasnt been anything revolutionary since the orignal Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. The last fighting game I enjoyed was Tekken Tag on PS2.

Like that joypad will be any better than the Cube's for fighting games. spawn is horribly out of place in Soul Calibur, so I'd take Link over enhanced (not that much) gfx any day.

I agree with Gamespot's assesment that none of the bonus characters fit into the Soul Calibur world.
In some ways Link is the worst to me. The other two characters I am less familiar with and have fewer preconceived ideas about. I have never read Spawn, and have not played a Tekken game since the original on the PSX. Link on the other hand I am very familiar with. His absolute misplacement in this series is actually a downer for me. The others may be similarly misplaced in the eyes of their fans, but as I said I have little contact with their characters.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >others may be similarly misplaced in the eyes of their fans, but as I >said I have little contact with their characters. I guess I don't see the big deal. Or maybe I just don't get emotional one way or the other because Namco put characters into Soul Calibur 2 that may not belong. You just don't play using that character. It's not a big deal. It's not like Link was included at the expense of another character. There's plenty of characters to chose from.
I personally think it's cool, but I would have bought Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube, with or without Link.
IMHO all the special characters could be labeled as misplaced into the series. I wouldn't down one character over another. It's just comes down to individual choice.

At least Link has a sword! And it's kind of hard to say what's 'misplaced' in a game that has everything from little girls in mini-skirts to hulking undead guys with pulsing external hearts, to giant armor-coated eyeballs, don't you think? I think that if Link didn't exist prior to this game, he'd fit in fine. The other guys wouldn't...although Heihachi would if they'd give him a weapon. At least a stick!

Spawn could have fit in a little better; specifically, they could have made him a contemporary of the others as there have been Spawns throughout time (based on the action figures at least) and he could have just used chains as his weapons; as it is, he seems to be Al Simmons and is traveling through time, and keeps inappropriately saying things like "Now I'm pissed" (I need to put on English voices and hear who the English voice actor is). However, he has an axe, a demonic connection, and a screwy outfit; he fits right in with the others, I think.

BrianK - 27 Aug 2003 01:56 GMT actually troll, the best version is of the system you are able to play it on. Why would someone that only owns a GameCube or Ps2 care if the Xbox has 'slightly better graphics or load times' as long as their version plays equally well?

But that is because I cant stand using a character with no weapon and I strongly dislike the GameCube controller for fighting games.
Ice Wipe Inc. - 27 Aug 2003 15:01 GMT Then buy a controller for fighter games like SC2, it sovles that little problem.
Personally, if you by now can't use the GC controller for a fighter type game, then you really must suck at gaming.

Oh no the biggest GC fanboy just smacked me down? Get over yourself child. The GameCube controller was not built with fighting games in mind. It is a horrible layout for fighting games. I can adapt to "any" controller for "any" game but why should I have to when the GC version of SCII offers nothing the others don't excpet Link as a playable character? Link doesn't nothing for me in this style of a game.
Besides, although joe is nothing but a loser troll, he is right. The best looking, loading and sounding version is the XBox.

And just like when Todd was in Kindergarten if someone insulted his favorite toy he started a fight. Of course things never change and Todd still gets beat down within five seconds and runs off crying to Bondo.

Namco was brilliant in pandering to GC fanboys (w/Ninty's permission), they'll reflexively buy Nintendo products "just because".
Damn, too bad there's no E-Reader support with the GC version - that would have been so cool! ;-)
Troy - 27 Aug 2003 17:40 GMT > Also... though "everyone" loves Link... how does someone with bombs > and a boomerang fit into the Soul Calibur world? I think Wario would have been a better choice. I'd love to see that angry greasy plumber go up against Cassandra and get his a.s kicked. Link is just a big yawn in comparison.

It's not like Spawn (a US comic book character with projectiles) or Heihachi (a bare-handed fighter) fit in all that well, either. Necrid's another odd one, too, but he's in every version. I appreciate the effort that namco put in to make the three versions distinctive, so we can all have these stupid little wars over the internet, but they may as well have added Klonoa and that fugly woman that MS tried to turn into a mascot.
> Namco was brilliant in pandering to GC fanboys (w/Ninty's permission), > they'll reflexively buy Nintendo products "just because". And spawn (and Necrid) is a clear attempt to pander tocomic book fans. Heihachi seems like an afterthought, honestly.

I have to agree with the person who said that Spawn is out of place in SC II. He shouldn't even have been considered. I've had the import for the GC for a long time now(maybe a couple of weeks after it's release in Japan) and I love it. I have a PS2 also, but I'll take the GC version any day.

Yatmandu - 28 Aug 2003 02:26 GMT Why is Gamespot saying that the PS2 dualshock is better for this game? I would have thought Xbox would've won that one hands down, its controller button placement being most like the old DC one. Has anyone tried the two versions (Xbox/PS2) and compared controls yet?

Are they used? I'll have to check that out. I assumed the functions would be on the four main face buttons, with the triggers being the others (like the DC version).
If they are all mapped to the face buttons I could see how that would be a problem.
Then again, I use fighting sticks for fighting games.
