It's a shame they had to chop the Mission Mode out of the game as that was a damn fine part of the game .. however the "meat & potatoes" of the game is still there with and HD makeover ..... Not quite as cool as it could have been but still a cool release ....

I never realized how much I loved this game. I'm not buying it because it's not in widescreen (not because of the lack of online feature).

However, now I am looking at the new Soulcalibur being released shortly.

I downloaded the demo of this and for some reason my dreamcast version looks better on my HDTV with it's VGA adaptor in 480p than this 360 version, really weird.

But yeh, no online mode means there isn't any point in buying it. Why buy an old game if it doesn't offer anything new and you have the original anyway? A bit pointless really.

I have enjoyed it. It's not too bad, besides, I much prefer to play Soul Caliber using the 360 pad vs. the Dreamcast pad. Don't get me wrong, I love the Dreamcast, still play and own it today. However, as I grow older, I really despise the Dreamcast game pad, so it's nice that one of the best DC games is available on the 360. My only gripe is that the Sound seems to have been sampled way down. Almost too much. Other than that, it's all good.

Warrengonline, were you dropped on your head as a child? That's some of the most incoherent babbling I think I've ever seen posted on here!

Anon 65 Just as a general note: The studio prices the content not MS. They provide a scale, the studio prices it and again that would be NAMCO not MS. If MS made the game then yes blame them for the pricing.

I do nothing think price is a reason people claim they are not buying this and it really does not matter if it is Microsoft's Rules or Namco's decision. Gamers think that with today's technology and what we have already that they would have put ONLINE PLAY.

The price is just a whine, I could care less if it was $0.50, there'd probably be even MORE complaints about No Online play. The trial is there, I will say, if you've NEVER played Soul Calibur and you're a gamer, I say, purchase this game. I know that sound kinda hypocritical, but I've played all versions of SC so I had my fill. From the Dreamcast to PSOne to GameCube to PS2... I'm waiting on SC4.

Play the trial, forget the price because if you are going to search for the Dreamcast version you're in for a heck of a search find and will probably pay upwards of $30 (IF you're lucky) for the original.

Try it! Then buy it and enjoy!

BTW MS makes the pricing NOT who made the game. OXM talked with the people that head up marketplace. They said they price it all accordingly. Thats why most games are around 800, even the crappy ones. Worms was so bad yet cost 800 even though 75% of the game was now gone.

Its ridiculous. Thats why I don't bother with alot of marketplace anymore. MS even said and I quote "Its marketplace not Freeplace", they said that when asked about why they don't allow free stuff like free addons or even games. Such as worms content was supposed to be ALL FREE. Team 17 said MS told refused that idea and said MS makes the final decision on price and anyways its not a "freeplace".

LAME MS! VERY LAME! If a company wants to give us something or even charge what they want then let them. Stop profiting off of other peoples work! Bad enough your force Vista on people now. Now you force fees on everything on marketplace. And yet you claim to really care about us consumers. Just like you cared enough to put in cheap chips that caused RROD because you wanted to get out the system fast.

Yep they care.

Well, I just played that Soul Calibur Demo and well, it impressed me, believe it or not. Kudos Namco!! But I still ain't buying it. And talk about messages that apeared in my box and people wanting to chat "Did you buy Soul Calibur?". The textures look nicer, but at first sight, Mitsurugi looked like his ribcage had his right arm welded to it at first. I've give $10 for this on Cd to give it to my friends as a gift to reminisce, but as with all Dreamcast game "Warren, let's play some Dreamcast games! You know you want to. MARVEL vs Capcom 2!!!!"

I am buying the.. oops, just purchased and now downloading the Oasis Pack 1.

I wish they'd add songs listed at my rockband website at www.rockband.com/rockers/panky

(Hey, those videos are when I started out - they are a terrible compared to now. I just haven't taken them down and record more.)

Any chance of mission mode added at a later date as DLC?

Who cares about mission mode? If you play a fighting game to play against the computer, you might have downs. I'm glad all the characters are ready to go right away rather than unlock them every time my DC memory card corrupts.

But no online play? Barf
