About this product

Product Information

The Soul Edge is a sword of sheer power, one that has ended many lives. Many believe it is cursed -- when an attempt is made to wield the sword, that person usually dies or ultimately fails. The fearsome pirate Cervantes de Leon found this out first hand; he disappeared with the sword and hasn't been seen since. Now, you and ten other warriors lust for the sword and engage in a fierce tournament -- the winner will be given a chance to possess the powerful blade.

This is the premise behind Soul Blade -- an Arcade conversion of Soul Edge. It is arena based (complete with ring outs) 3D fighter that features eleven diverse characters with one goal in mind -- retrieve the deadly sword. Each character has their own unique collection of weapons that range from swords, axes, spears, katana blades and more. In addition to weaponry, they have been given a wide variety of special maneuvers, combinations, air juggles, reversals, and throws.

Like many fighting games, there is an assortment of different gameplay modes -- Arcade, Vs. Battle, Team Battle, Survival, Time Attack and Edge-Master. The Arcade mode is the actual game in which you compete against computer-controlled opponents on your quest for the sword. On the other hand, the Edge-Master aspect is a unique one. It gives each character a personal storyline complete with battles and a map screen. This option allows you to obtain multiple weapons for each character that can be used in the Arcade or other modes. Though it awards weapons for progression of the story, it also serves as good practice for new players -- it tests you in the areas of throwing and more.

The Survival option tests your stamina and endurance by putting you up against an endless barrage of computer opponents. Each battle is one round in length and as you defeat the various characters, you are rewarded with a little health. When your health meter has been depleted 100 percent, the game is over. Team battle allows you to play against the computer or an actual real-life opponent. Each person (or the computer) chooses a side of characters that will face each other. When a character is defeated, they are eliminated from the battle.

Soul Blade supports the standard PlayStation controller as well as Namco's joystick (the latter is not included in the package). You can also save your weapons and story progress (from the Edge-Master mode) to a memory card.

A classic that stands the test of time
Great game! The very first game that started the Soul Series which eventually became Soul Calibur and the accompanying sequels. This was one of the first and best weapon fighting games that came out for the original PlayStation, brought to you by the Namco, the same company that makes the Tekken series. Great quality gameplay with amazing characters, great graphics, and great fighting mechanics. Each character is amazing with different types of weapons, themes, and cool endings. There is the general arcade mode which is featured in most fighting games, and there are other cool modes to play as well. If you are a fan of both Soul Calibur and Tekken, and you don't have this original game, then you definitely need it! The controls are easy to learn and hard to master, and you will always have fun playing such a great classic like Soul Blade. Read full review

Recommended for those good at Soul Caliber
I happen to be good at Soul Caliber, but I gave this item a 3-star rating because I got frustrated with this one; it plays a lot like Virtua Fighter, a game that requires skill.

Before Soul Calibur, there was Soul Blade
Soul Blade is, despite what some think, is actually the first title in what is now known as the Soul Calibur series. Now, being a PS1(Playstation 1) title, the grpahics, sounds and fluidity of the characters isn't what you may be used to. However, this is still a solid title and an excellent addition to any fighting game fan. The characters Hwang, Mitsurugui, Taki, Rock, Voldo, Li Long, Sophitia, Cervantes, Seung Mina & Siegfried are gathered to fight over the legendary blade, Soul Edge. The arcade mode is pretty much what you expect - a 2 round fight aganist all of the other characters, eventually facing the physcial form of the essence of the legendary blade, which is simply called Soul Edge. In addition to the standard arcade mode, there is also a sort of story mode, called Weapons Master Mode. IN this, the player chooses a character, and is put in various fights with certian conditions. For example, having to fight with only a little bit of your lifebar, or having greatly reduced time, or even survive a full round without being defeated by either knock out or ring out. By winning these fights, you unlock a variety of different weapons for the chosn character, which sometimes also have abilities of their own, such as causing a health drain when you hit the opponent, or even regain your life bar during the fight. Overall, Soul Edge is a solid title that definetly stands the test of time. If you like fighting games, or are just looking to complete the entire Soul series, give this excellent title a try.Read full review

An awesome first installment of a beloved fighting game franchise!
Soul Blade (Soul Edge in Japan), is one of those rare PlayStation games to ever come across. The gameplay is complex, mostly balanced, and playable at that. Graphics are surprisingly good, and there's different modes to choose from. Great game. Would definately buy again.

Soul Blade ps1
Fun fighting game. I've played all of the Soul Calibur games that come after this one and thought it'd be fun to try. Not the best in the series, but fun and definitely worth playing with friends.
