You might be looking forward to a change in character, but you’re in for a nasty surprise as she wields almost the same weapon as her brother. As the story progresses, the player sometimes takes control of Patroklos’s sister, Pyhrra.

The player finds themselves being thrust into the game, playing as an unfamiliar character, which is like getting to the front line in a war, and being given a gun for the very first time. On that game, there is a witty remark on a newspaper which reads: ‘Study shows that 90% of video games start with easy tutorial level.’ Well, Soul Calibur V is part of the 10% that don’t. Lately, I have been playing The Simpsons Hit & Run. If the game designers are going to force the player to play as a certain character, then there should be some kind of selection process of their weapon and move set. No gravy, mushy peas or curry sauce just plain old fish and chips, or sword and shield. But just like a fish and chip shop in London, it lacks choice. Now, the awkwardly named protagonist unfortunately wields a sword and shield which is fine if you’re one of those people who likes such a move set. The main innovation this time around is the all-new Story Mode, which sees the player take control of a new character, Patroklos son of series veteran Sophitia Alexandra. The standard Arcade, Practice and VS style modes are all present as you would expect from a fighting game as well as a Character Creation Mode. Innovation has always kept the series fresh and interesting, but does the fifth installment continue this tradition? Gameplay Not unlike Namco’s other fighting series, Tekken Soul Calibur has stood the test of time and is still a popular franchise today.

The Soul series has been running for a long time, since 1996 in fact.
