The listing, Soul Blade (Playstation game) has ended.
Even though the intro's psuedo-nudity has been toned down and the name has been changed to Soul Blade for the American audience.The twist: the combatants all wield bladed weapons - a welcome change from the hand-to-hand combat found in most other fighting games.
The storyline of Soul Blade is essentially an excuse for various showdowns over myriad backgrounds. Set in the 16th century, the title features warriors from various clans who are on a quest for the "Soul Edge," a magical sword some believe holds ultimate combat power. The warriors include those looking to use it for goodand evil. The characters include Taki, a female hunter you wouldn't want to tangle with; Cervantes, a wicked looking pirate (you gotta love a fighting game with a pirate); Sophita, an emotional goddess (Namco's description - but how does one become an emotional goddess?); Voldo, hell guadian (we'll just leave it at that)Rock (the token slow-moving, "no one uses him" character); and others. The game also features hidden fighters, multiple endings and numerous costumes for each character, and other hidden surprises that flesh out the game.Soul Blade is visually astonishing from the moment you turn it on.The backgrounds have an amazing look, but the fighters look only as good in action as their Tekken 2 counterparts. The game plays smoothly, but the animation suffers, thanks to the complexity of the backgrounds that is to say,the game's frame rate slows down considerably. The sound quality, on the other hand, is nearly perfect Soul Blade offers a number of options: All the standard fighting game features are present (arcade, team play, and so on), in addition to the very cool Edge Master mode that allows you to play any of the ten standard characters in a sword-quest throughout the world.You can pick up new weapons (eight in all)and watch the story progress.
