I was amazed by the beautiful graphics when I played this game for the first time on the Xbox 360. This was the game where I learned how to play SoulCalibur because when I played SoulCalibur III, which was my first one, I didn't know how to play it. It's the only SoulCalibur game I own that I can't play on my Xbox Series X because of licensing issues (Star Wars content). This was also the last SoulCalibur game that still retained the series core identity of its game play because SoulCalibur games after that had changed a lot.
This is right in the middle among the franchise. Easily one of the finest customization in the series. A good variety of modes with a decent roster. The big flaws are a surprising difficult increase during Arcade Mode when facing an Star Wars character. The guest characters just seem out of place here. Even 2B whose a DLC guest character in SCVI somehow worked way better. SoulCalibur IV is still a fun fighting game.

Avoid potholes, broken tracks & guards in carts and safely reach the end of the track. 3.Temple level: Make your way to the altar and grab the Sankara stone while Mola Ram, bats and Thuggee guards attack you. Watch out for that lava.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: The Action Game
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: The Action GameBeing an action title, the game starts off where Indy is about to have an excuse to use his trusty whip: in Monte Carlo, after he recruited headstrong former student Sophie to his aid and determined the location of ancient discs needed to open the door to the lost city of Atlantis. Most action takes place in isometric view, although there are some variations along the way to keep up interest. There are even some adventure-game elements, such as Indy's inventory which you can fill with various objects to use (i.e. money to buy things). They are mostly easy though, and are there only to relieve the tension from knuckle-blistering action.
