The editors didn't like

  • The same level of technical expertise is missing from almost every other aspect of the game.
  • Story and characters are underdeveloped
  • Enemies sometimes employ frustrating tactics
  • Some awful voice acting
  • Ider the developers behind this redeemed as far as their ideas are concerned. Red Steel 2 is everything the original game was meant to be and so much more. The concept was just a bit too ahead of its time and I am glad they got a second chance to make things right. If you own a Wii and have been looking for a reason to dust it off
  • This is your game. It combines all the great ideas the console of
  • Exploration can be bland
  • And the Ugly Beyond the goofy script
  • Goofy acting and the physical strain of playing the game
  • My complaints about Red Steel 2 are few. I didn’t like that destroying inanimate objects yields cash rewards
  • Because I then felt the need to punch every...

  • Abstract:  Pros: Solid combat, nice looking.Cons: Useless story. Few sequels have less to do with their precursor’s than the action game Red Steel 2, which tosses out the original’s premise, setting, visual look, and gameplay structure, keeping only the use of sw...

  • Abstract:  Set in a world blending modern east with the old Wild West, brings an entertaining clash of guns and swordplay to the Wii. Characters and level designs are of a comic retro-game style, very similar to Ubisoft's previously released . The story follo...

  • The melee combat is impressive, designers take full advantage of the Motion Plus accessory
  • The same level of technical expertise is missing from almost every other aspect of the game
  • A vast improvement over its launch title predecessor, Red Steel 2 takes full advantage of Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus accessory with responsive swordplay and fast-paced melee. Unfortunately, the rest of the game falls victim to repetitive combat and a lackl...

  • Abstract:  You know that warning screen preceding Wii games that recommends you fasten the wrist strap carefully before playing? Well I'd wager that I'm not alone in saying that I've never actually done it, not properly anyway. I just loosely stick my hand throug...

  • Beautiful cell-shaded goodness. Well paced and constant rewards make you want to keep playing. One of the best shooters on the Wii by a long shot.
  • A map, my kingdom for a map! Painful loading screens and some repetitive mini-games and side quests.

  • Abstract:  The notes I scrawled for this review read like a list of comparisons. In fact, they are a list of comparisons. But don't take my word for it: Ubisoft Paris's sequel to their 2006 Wii launch title pushes graphical boundaries a lot like Madworld. The mus...

  • Abstract:  Red Steel was one of the Wii's opening acts. It was designed to show the potential of the console by giving the player a chance to experience first-person shooting with the Wii remote, as well as sword waggling. Does Red Steel 2 out do it?The swordplay...

  • Sword fighting is fast and fun. Graphics are good and the setting is great
  • WiiMotion can be a touch flaky. Feels like you are just flailing at times!

  • Abstract:  When I first contemplated buying my Nintendo Wii, I was excited about the new set of controls and the fact that I could use the Wiimote as a sword, so when I first saw the trailer for the first Red Steel I was completely sold on the Nintendo Wii. Unfo...
