Heck yeah man. xbox360achievements.org's Achievement list looks pretty good, although the "Ultra Hard without losing" and "Time Attack under 4 minutes" ones may be very difficult. The rest shouldn't be too bad. |

This game is an absolute classic. I loved owning people with nightmare or seong mi-na. One of the fewer games to get a perfect 10 from IGN. I know IGN is IGN but very rarely does a 10 come from them. |

That is pretty sweet. I have fond memory of rocking this with my Sega Dreamcast  |

I don't know about the "Time Attack under 4 minutes". I beat the game already in just over 4 and my time attack is at 5. I dont think its going to be that tough myself. |

Quote By Warlord Luthias No online play = No purchase. Good excuse for the "johnny come lately" when you buy it later, if you buy it at all (not to mention SoulCaliber IV). True fans bought it right away if they could afford it. Others just made excuses on why they shouldn't. QUESTION PEOPLE: Did the Original SOULCALIBER game come with online multiplayer? NO YOU SAY? Then WTF do you expect from a $10 dollar port? A $100 dollar remake ? Guess what.... it's called SoulCaliber IV for $60 dollars. Live with it. The true fans of SOULCALIBER have BIGGER complaints about the XBLA game (and upcoming retail) than being trivialized by small details like multiplayer for a game that was born in an age before most people even went online (let alone were born n00bs). GEEZ!!! |

I think it plays perfectly. I even dug out my xbox for some story mode. My only complaint is that my favorite character Talim was not included. Lucky for you Pimp, I'd own all those records if I had her. I checked the web site and it looks like she will be in SC IV. WooT WooT!!! |

Oddly, I beat it in under 4 minutes myself yet I haven't gotten my Time Attack under 4'26" yet. Honestly, I did expect online multiplayer but I'm not too disappointed it isn't there. I more lament the lack of missions, but I'm glad I finally caved and bought XBLA Soul Calibur because it has been very fun. I still hate Kilik's guts. |

GEEZ!!! Oh that's right! I forgot I spent $100 on such classic games as: Contra, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, TMNT Arcade, Worms, etc etc etc. Heaven forbid I want my XBLA games to actually warrant a purchase when the vast majority of games have an online feature of some kind. I'll just wait for SCIV. You know, the one that also includes online multiplayer. |

Your signature says you own Worms and others classics like Golden Axe, Castlevania: SOTN, Galaga, Sonic the Hedgehog.... I'm pretty sure not all of them have online multiplayer either. Besides, its my choice to buy lots of XBLA games. I'd prefer to own a ton of games for $100 than one game for the same price (even though I'm most likely going to purchase Soulcaliber IV). |
