About this game

Continuing the eternally retold tale of souls and swords, Soulcalibur IV is once again the story of the swords Soul Edge and Soul Calibur and those who want to have or destroy them.

The swords are on the fast-track to resurrect an ancient king, and only the player can stop him from unleashing his ambiguous evil upon the world.

Soulcalibur IV continues the series' 3D blade fighting game play, with a few enhancements.

The ability to break your opponent's defences from the first game finally returns in the form of destructible armour.

Corresponding to the game's high, middle and low attacks, armour will weaken in these areas the more the player guards against attacks until the armour finally shatters.

Also new is a Soul Gauge, which measures green-to-red how much a player has defended.

Pushing the gauge beyond red causes a Soul Crush, which will create the opportunity for the opponent to do a character-unique one-shot kill called a Critical Finish.

All three characters have force powers that make use of an additional force meter that limits how often the powers can be used.

Use beyond the meter will instead start draining the life of the character.

Also new is Hilde, an armour-clad woman defending her homeland against the forces of the Soul Edge with a long pole-arm and shortsword.

The final boss Algol is also a playable character, wielding the Soul Edge as one hand and the Soul Calibur as the other, as well as wreaking havoc with his teleporting chair.

In addition, five "bonus" characters, each specially designed by a Japanese artist are included that recycle the move lists from the a-list characters.

The regular Story, Arcade, Training and Versus modes are still present, but Soulcalibur III 's Chronicles of the Sword is supplanted with a new e

About Xbox 360

Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.

Gamevaro tracks Soulcalibur IV [Classics] (PAL) for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
