The BGM or OST for this game is iconic and puts you in the mood to devastate opponents with your weapon. The stages are also quite awesome. The DLC of this game is extensive with the only drawback being you have to fork out more DeNiro to get the good stuff...

| Soul Calibur V |
The character customization in this game is the best I have seen in any fighting game. However, as I am used to in depth Story Modes and the one in this game leaves much to be desired...
The gameplay in itself is awesome. Critical Edge, Brave Edge and the Just Guard system all make this a great fighting game...
This is the sixth instalment of Namco's Soul Series of fighting games and was released on January 31st, 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America. It was released on February 2nd, 2012 in Japan and Europe. Soul Calibur V is the follow-up to Soulcalibur IV and retains the weapon-based combat that characterizes the series but follows a new character, Patroklos, who aims to rid his sister of a curse brought upon her by an ancient weapon.
The game received a mixed reception and was often criticized for the removal of many iconic characters from the earlier games in the series.

Legendary Souls:
Or as I call it, Bitch Mode is a new mode found in SoulCalibur V which is essentially a boss rush. You fight 7 of the series' most notable protagonists and bosses who either have special conditions or utilize special costumes that so far are unusable within the game. Each opponent is set to a secret difficulty that is higher than even Very Hard, akin to the Ultra Hard and Edge Master difficulties of previous games.
In order to play Legendary Souls you must first complete the games disappointing story mode....
The stages within this mode are as follows:
Stage 1: Kilik (Locked in Xiba's style throughout the match, meant to represent him using his original fighting style)
Stage 2: Nightmare (In his Soulcalibur IV form, wielding the complete version of Soul Edge)
Stage 3: Siegfried (As his young self from Soulcalibur IV, wielding the complete version of Soul Calibur)
Stage 4: Cervantes (In his 2nd costume but with darker colors and a flaming aura around himself extending to his face, which is now nothing more than a shapeless mass of flames with eerie, glowing eyes and an evil grin. Wields his The Master variant of Acheron and Nirvana. Meant to resemble Inferno, his form as the final boss of Soul Edge)
Stage 5: Edge Master (Locked in α Patroklos' style, meant to represent him using Soul Calibur)
Stage 6: Elysium (Locked in Pyrrha Ω's style, meant to represent herself being an image of Sophitia)
Stage 7: Algol (Previous boss from Soul Calibur IV's Story Mode & Tower of Lost Souls)
Stage 1: Kilik (Locked in Xiba's style throughout the match, meant to represent him using his original fighting style)
Stage 2: Nightmare (In his Soulcalibur IV form, wielding the complete version of Soul Edge)
Stage 3: Siegfried (As his young self from Soulcalibur IV, wielding the complete version of Soul Calibur)

Stage 5: Edge Master (Locked in α Patroklos' style, meant to represent him using Soul Calibur)
Stage 6: Elysium (Locked in Pyrrha Ω's style, meant to represent herself being an image of Sophitia)
Stage 7: Algol (Previous boss from Soul Calibur IV's Story Mode & Tower of Lost Souls)
