Soul Calibur 2 DVD rip backup: Japanese VS USA release? - CDROM-Guide forums

I've played both now and the US version does seem to play a little better and is smoother, no slowdown, but the question I have is why isn't there any BGM in the US version of the backup? It's very strange that this was left out. Any comments?...

The games seemed to be the same to begin with.......

I think the US version also adds 3 new characters, so there may not have been enough room on the CD to keep everything...

The PS2, XBOX , and Gamecube each have an exclusive character. PS2 has Heihachi(tekken), x-box has Spawn, and G-Cube has a little guy in a skirt named LINK. Sad thing is that Heihachi is the only character in the game without a weapon and Link is the best of the exclusives...

The Japanese version had the exclusive players too but if they added 3 more to the US version then I can see why there's no music... although I thought the Jap version had extras too so I still kinda don't get it... I guess it's all in what you like and want to play.

I like the X-Box version myself... (the control is better)

Can anyone confirm if Lizardman is unlockable. I played against him in Weapon Master mode but from what I'm hearing around lately, it looks like he's not.

Great game. I like that they up'ed the difficulty for the US version. The import was so easy. They also tweaked the blocking and made it a little easier to throw off thoes button mashers.
