However, Namco is using this opportunity to win a few extra bucks since the Star Wars characters will not be available for free: Xbox 360 owners of Soulcalibur IV will have to pay 400 MS Points for Darth Vader, while PS3 owners will be charged $4.99 for Master Yoda. Pretty expensive, if you ask me but the death of exclusive content has its costs, right?
Retooled from the ground up for the latest version, Soulcalibur IV perfects its weapons-based fighting system with HD graphics and new gameplay mechanics. Adding to the depth of combat, players can now destroy protective armor, weakening their enemy’s resolve and unleash Critical Finish moves to defeat opponents in one spectacular blow. Also new to the series is the ability to battle online against players from around the world using customized characters or fan favorites to challenges others for global domination.
