In my opinion, still one of the best looking games on Dreamcast and showed what the DC was cappable of at the time. It plays great, with smooth animations and responsive controls, has good and diverse roster, and good amount of content.
I may not played the famous Dreamcast port. I did play the original Arcade version as well as XBLA version. Which was an altered Dreamcast port for Xbox 360. To me this is among the best SoulCalibur games by far. This is when the franchise gotten great. A great roster of characters with some of the finest stages. Not to mention a sick soundtrack with amazing sound effects. SoulCalibur is a truly fantastic fighting game.
