Soul Caliber is definitely one of the best, except for the cheesy dialogue for the fights.
"This victory strengthened the soul of..."
I played DOA3 the other day, though, and it's pretty cool. It seems like it would be much more satisfying for button mashers, but I could be wrong. (i.e., really cool looking moves with more intuitive button combos, whereas Soul Caliber gives you an effective but lame looking move for a complex scheme of button presses.)
I think in terms of graphics on standard setups (i.e., interlaced TV), the dreamcast was pretty close to where PS2, Xbox, and GCN are now. In fact, I'd go as far to say that we're approaching a zenith in graphic capabilities and won't be able to increase that threshhold on any system, without a corresponding increase in the acceptance and capabilities of display systems. Face it, images on "Standard" interlaced TV can only look so good.
Full-bore acceptance of progressive has got to be next.
Back to the point, though. I won't be getting rid of my DC anytime soon, and will probably pick up a backup unit and some extra controllers and memory cards in the near future.
