Review: Soul Calibur II (Xbox, PS2, Gamecube)
<img align="right" src="http://www.the-nextlevel.com/reviews/xbox/soul_calibur_2/taki.jpg">As any fan can testify, Namco took a substantially great leap forward when Soul Calibur was released on the Sega Dreamcast. Exalted as a near flawless game, fans eagerly awaited a sequel which would surpass the scope and excellence of its predecessor. However, rather than reinvent elements from scratch, Namco opted to refine the existing design many of us have come to treasure. Thus, if you've played the original installment, many of the characters, moves and overall style will certainly feel very famliar.
Enter our tale of swords and souls eternally retold...
