Soul Calibur 3 possibly a PS2 exclusive

[A Black Falcon]

Uh, no. Both had single player. GE's was kind of short, and didn't tell the story very well at all (unless you'd seen the movie and knew what was happening), but PD has a story and tells it well enough for an FPS... I enjoyed it. And the challenges are a nice extra, along with stuff like the weapon tests and stuff... multiplayer? I've played it some, it's fun, sure. But as I said, it's a relatively small part of my play of any FPS and thus great multiplayer isn't a great draw for me to a game. I want great single player. So I like PD much more than GE.

I'm not saying multiplayer FPSes are bad games (obviously not), or that I've never had fun, just that they don't hold me for long-time play and replay... after a few matches I start thinking 'what is the point? No records are being recorded, the game doesn't care if I win or lose, every game is pretty similar to the last one, etc', and stop playing... RtCW was a bit better than normal because of the mission-based multiplayer (and I liked the Battlefield demo because of the control-points thing), but still...

The shortness and lack of compelling options once you're finished with the game is why I am perfectly happy to have just borrowed GE for a couple of weeks and not bought it.
