Soul Calibur gets the fighting right, but without online play or the single-player mission mode that made it fun to play alone, this XBLA re-release is a flimsy package.
"SoulCalibur" is a renowned weapon-based 3D fighting game that was initially an arcade hit before its Dreamcast release with improved graphics and new features. Known for its unique eight-way movement system, it's celebrated as one of the best Dreamcast titles and one of the most critically acclaimed fighting games, offering both multiplayer and single-player experiences.

The story aspect of the Soul Calibur re-release is criticized for lacking depth, as it misses key features like online play and a single-player mission mode, which previously enhanced the overall experience. This absence makes the package feel incomplete and less engaging for solo players.
