Ryan Scott Exec. Editor of Reviews at EGM may want you to think that 90 percent of reviewers of fighting games don’t actually play them. He doesn’t know me though. I’ve loved fighters since Streets of Rage on the the Sega. Recently I enjoyed Virtua Fighter on PS3 though it had some flaws and controls felt less than fluid

Soul Calibur 4 delivers. And I wasn’t faking those happy sounds. I hadn’t written a word all week. I’ve got a good ammount of game time in, but I’m not ready to put out a full review. It’s going to take hundreds of hours to see everything, and try everything. There are a number of female avatars to play as, and that alone is going to be the main focus of the review when it’s done.

What I can tell you now is that I expect to give it a high score. Should you buy it? Yes!
