Is Soul Calibur (XBLA) worth the $10 if you already own Soul Calibur (DC)?

[Captain Wrong]

No online, no mission mode, no graphical upgrade means it's essentially worthless if you already have the Dreamcast version.

But, but, but, what about achievements???






Yeah, I don't care either.

achievements and leaderboards are nice. I can't believe they didn't give this mission mode and an HD treatment!

I'm still kinda interested for the achievements and leaderboards... but I'll just hold off for SC4 next month

graphics have been slightly improved.
yes, I have 2 Soul Caliburs on DC and I'm still getting it.

The reason there is no mission mode or online is because this game was made using the original 150 mb cap.

When MS raised the cap, this game was pretty much done, and the point is to release it around SC 4, not delay it for another six months to a year or whatever and get this stuff back in.

So blame MS for having the shitty 150 mb cap, and Namco just decided to roll with it rather than complain. IIRC, Namco would have added online if the cap was not there, along with the mission mode, which pushed the game over 150 mb. I believe this is also why there is no graphical update, as well.

if SC would have had the online support it would have definitly been a yes for me but no.

Its not at all, trust me. The videos on my site (ptoponline.com hah) are about as much as I can stand to play the game, as there is absolutely nothing to it.

No online equals no purchase.
