Soulcalibur II

Soulcalibur II is the third installment of the Soul series after Soul Edge (or Soul Blade) in 1995 and Soulcalibur in 1998. It's noted for the guest appearances of Tekken's Heihachi Mishima, Spawn from the Spawn comics, and The Legend of Zelda's Link. The game is available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube (we're not counting the re-release on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 for the HD Online Edition). Set in the year 1590, four years after the events of Soulcalibur when the three warriors Kilik, Maxi, and Chai Xianghua defeated Nightmare in his castle, and the holy blade Soul Calibur shattered the evil Soul Edge into pieces, fragments scattered by a hellish vortex across Europe and Asia and falling into the hands of many great warriors each drawn to the weapon.
