Soul Calibur 2 is a solid 3d fighter with tons of replayability and things to master. The Single player offers a both a small story for each character to fight different enemies like many other fighters, while weaving together that characters lore, and has a more fun adventure type of single player campaign where you pick a character and you have to advance on a mini map similar to Mario Bros 3, where the further you advance you get upgraded weapons and moves that all have different abilities. The challenges in this mode sometimes puts wacky handicaps on you or give you a slightly different objective other than simply "defeat your opponent" so it has a little extra to spice things up and not get boring.
One of the most exciting things on the promo for the Gamecube version of this game is the inclusion of Link from the Legend of Zelda series. The inclusion is amazing given how Nintendo is so protective of their IPs but i feel like this game does his character justice with balancing him out and making him feel natural in this game.
The multiplayer is the standard multiplayer experience you can expect from most fighting games in this era. No online, but Local. The gameplay is fun enough that you can spend hours training or facing off with friends, trying new characters, weapons, and combos.
Something that isnt necessary but is much appreciated by someone like me is that they have a gallery included where you can unlock and view concept art for the game and character models. These will need to be unlocked by playing the game, whether is be specific character story modes or in game achievements. Overall, this is an amazing game. Im not much of a fighting game fan myself, but even link's inclusion is strong enough to want to bring newcomers to see what this game is about and its fun enough for casuals, while also being a deep enough game to have seen serious competition if ESPORTS were more popular back in the day. Definitely a great buy!
