The next time I picked up Soul Caliber Three I played the versus mode. That was a lot of fun because, though it was many battles in a row, there was interaction between my partner and I. Various comments made by both of us made the game more interesting and pushed the repetitive aspects of the game to the background.
Most of the time we played the versus mode where the weapon effects are turned off and that was alright but it sort of defeated the purpose of having different weapons. We tried effects on once and we got stuck in the crazy cage with the walls that do more damage than the weapons. My partner didn't see the point in effects on so we went back to effects off.
After a few hours of playing and me losing to him pretty badly, we went started trying to learn our character's attacks rather than just mashing buttons. The attacks ranged from pretty easy to freakishly hard. The hardest we found was one of Ivy's throws that looked pretty awesome but was almost impossible to do.

So a couple of days ago I started playing Soul Calibur 3. I've played Soul Caliber 2 for GameCube before and I found them to be pretty similar but I don't like the Playstation controls much. Perhaps it is just because I'm used to GameCube but it took a while longer to get the hang of which buttons do which.
I started off playing single player which I had heard was so-so. I played the story mode with Olcadan and that wasn't so bad. I died a couple times which was kinda lame because I wasn't able to get to the final boss but oh well. I think I like SC3's story mode better than SC2's because there's more story and background about whatever character you chose. I didn't play all of the single player options in either games but SC2 seems more straight forward and actiony and SC3 seems to do the story but I think there is also an actiony option for another game.
One thing about Soul Calibur 3 is that it's a good button mash kinda game. Usually I button mash for a little while until I figure some attacks out. It doesn't take long to learn the controls and most of the time random series of buttons make for some good attacks.
Something else I noticed was that the first player mode, regardless of the amount of options present, got really boring pretty fast. I don't think I'd be able to play story mode over and over again with different characters in a row.
