Soul Caliber 2 – An underrated beauty

I just want to start this blog by saying that I am not a massive player of fighting games. The only ones I have ever owned include:

• Street Fighter 2 (Mega Drive & Wii)
• Street Fighter 4 (PS3)
• Soul Caliber 2 (Gamecube)

Now everyone knows that Street Fighter 2 is and always will be the best fighting game ever made and I am not disputing that at all. However one fighting game I think that was in the shadow of the more popular franchises like Street Fighter and Tekken was Soul Caliber 2 and this game was probably the fighting game I have spent the most time on in my entire life. Released on the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox I didn’t realise what a good game it was until I was about 1 week into playing it. And truth be told the only reason I bought it was due to my passion for Legend of Zelda and Link who was the bonus character for the Gamecube version.
