Soul Calibur 2

AKA: What's the big fucking deal?

I just played a demo of it, and I don't see what's so great about it. It's fun for a little bit, but the play mechanics seems incredibly simple (more than Mortal Kombat and Tekken), and it gets boring.

So what exactly am I missing here? Fighting with weapons. Oooh, big deal. Honestly, can someone tell me what makes this game so great? I might rent it and give it a real chance, but for now, it seems like an overhyped fanboy's game.
