The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

SoulCalibur II for the PlayStation 2 is an expanded port of the Arcade game, including Heihachi as a playable character and new game modes.

What players say

A fluid, elegant weapons-based fighter that's easy to pick up yet deep, with gorgeous stages and music, widely considered one of the best PS2 fighting games. The PS2 build's exclusive Heihachi is seen as a fun-if-lesser guest, but the game itself is a beloved fighting-fan classic.
