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.
