I was amazed by the beautiful graphics when I played this game for the first time on the Xbox 360. This was the game where I learned how to play SoulCalibur because when I played SoulCalibur III, which was my first one, I didn't know how to play it. It's the only SoulCalibur game I own that I can't play on my Xbox Series X because of licensing issues (Star Wars content). This was also the last SoulCalibur game that still retained the series core identity of its game play because SoulCalibur games after that had changed a lot.
This is right in the middle among the franchise. Easily one of the finest customization in the series. A good variety of modes with a decent roster. The big flaws are a surprising difficult increase during Arcade Mode when facing an Star Wars character. The guest characters just seem out of place here. Even 2B whose a DLC guest character in SCVI somehow worked way better. SoulCalibur IV is still a fun fighting game.
