If you have XBL then you will thoroughly enjoy this game.

Both English and Japanese voice acting is flawless, the graphics are clean and crisp, the combat is excellent as always, the character customization is limitless and the character designs are original and sexy. Despite the two major flaws, I still believe Soul Calibur V is a game worth being played. However, Amy's graceful fencing and my favorite Talim's dual-wield elbow blades did not return. Many of the new characters bear similar fighting styles to those absent, so it is not a huge loss. Soul Calibur V takes place 17 years after Broken Destiny, so I believe trading in some of the characters was necessary to match the timeline. Another daring move Namco made was replacing fan-favorite characters for some fresh faces. In the latest installment, that feature is lost.

Having a personalized experience for each character in the game is part of what gave the Soul series so much replay value. Having a personalized experience for each Soul Calibur took a chance by changing up the story mode, a move that did not work in its favor.
