About this product

Product Information

Red Steel is a first-person shooter that combines gunfights and swordplay with the Wii's unique motion-sensing controls. After the Yakuza abducts an unnamed American's Japanese fianc�, he journeys into the heart of Japan's underworld to confront a crime syndicate boss and his well-armed minions. Players begin the game equipped with a pistol and a sword, both of which showcase the platform's unusual control scheme. Holding the Wii Remote like a firearm, players point the controller at the television screen and squeeze the trigger-like B button to shoot. More precise shots are accomplished by extending one's arm to zoom-in on targets, as players freely look around their environment, duck, or jump using the analog-based Nunchuk attachment.<br><br>Those who dispose of enemies with efficiency and precision are rewarded with "focus," a technique represented by a gauge, which lets players freeze time and isolate multiple targets before taking them all out in one John Woo-inspired finishing move. The game's Tokyo-based locales will take players through gardens, corporate offices, dojos, restaurants, gaming parlors, and crowded streets, each offering destructible elements such as aquariums, pachinko machines, cars, neon lights, and more. The goal in each setting is to work your way past armed thugs and onto boss duels involving swords rather than guns. Swordfights are approached in a slightly different manner, as attacks require specific, pre-defined motions instead of the sword responding to your real-time movements. Red Steel also includes support for up to four players in a variety of competitive game modes.

super funnn
the controls are many and a little hard to learn, but once you start to play the action gets going right away and they give you an in depth tutorial about what to do in every situation. the splitscreen local multiplayer is fun and awesome, but some levels are so huge that when you play with just two people it takes you forever to find one another :/ i haven't played online, i dont recall seeing the game have that option, but im sure that would be mega sweet too... all in all if you are looking for a game that you can play with your friend or do the missions by yourself, this is a pretty good title for the wii... and its not hella expensive anymore... so a good deal. :] also, it was the first game title i purchased for my wii [other than wiisports and wiiplay... the necesseties. :D] hope ... the controls are many and a little hard to learn, but once you start to play the action gets going right away and they give you an in depth tutorial about what to do in every situation. the splitscreen local multiplayer is fun and awesome, but some levels are so huge that when you play with just two people it takes you forever to find one another :/ i haven't played online, i dont recall seeing the game have that option, but im sure that would be mega sweet too... all in all if you are looking for a game that you can play with your friend or do the missions by yourself, this is a pretty good title for the wii... and its not hella expensive anymore... so a good deal. :] also, it was the first game title i purchased for my wii [other than wiisports and wiiplay... the necesseties. :D] hope this helped

Clunky action, but worth checking out
Red Steel is an interesting and engaging game, but falls short of its true potential. The sword action is unique for a first-person shooter, but don't expect a full range of motion. The moves are fairly limited though combining specific moves with your blade results in some special moves and extra points. The game is particularly unique for its attention to rewarding you for not killing people. After a sword fight, you have the option of either striking a finishing blow to your defeated opponent or graciously putting your sword away. During the gunfights, you can find the boss in area, wave your controller over them repeatedly, and attempt to convince them to put their guns down. The accumulation of these respect points is particularly unique and unlike anything I've seen in other ... Red Steel is an interesting and engaging game, but falls short of its true potential.

The accumulation of these respect points is particularly unique and unlike anything I've seen in other games. One big gripe that I have about this game is the degree of immortality of the bad guys. In this game, killing the bad guys can take up to 3 shots. At some point real fast, it gets annoying. You see bad guy, you shoot bad guy, bad guy hides, bad guy comes out, repeat. And repeat again. As a launch title, sure, it's bound to have its quirks, but it's still an entertaining game. Check it out.

Ridiculous Steel
I purchased this product to get a feel for the way the Wii can do a first person shooter, and I wanted something different than the typical WWII environment. My initial impression of the game, from its frequent loading screens, poorly animated cinematics, and lack of compelling story, was not favorable. It was incredibly difficult for me to become familiar with the controls, and I found it very difficult to determine where enemies were when I was being blasted from a distance. I had heard it would take 30 minutes to an hour to get a hang of the controls, but it took me between 3 to 5 hours to get used to them. After putting in my 3-5 hours of intense aggravation and enduring the afore-mentioned problems with the game (as well as some other problems, such as what I consider terrible ... I purchased this product to get a feel for the way the Wii can do a first person shooter, and I wanted something different than the typical WWII environment.

It was incredibly difficult for me to become familiar with the controls, and I found it very difficult to determine where enemies were when I was being blasted from a distance. I had heard it would take 30 minutes to an hour to get a hang of the controls, but it took me between 3 to 5 hours to get used to them. After putting in my 3-5 hours of intense aggravation and enduring the afore-mentioned problems with the game (as well as some other problems, such as what I consider terrible voice acting), I really began to enjoy myself. I still feel the control could be sharper, the use of the nunchuck as an action button is a little too much functionality for something as physical as a violent shake of the wrist, and I really don't feel that there is much weapon variety. The sword fighting feels very forced, very unnatural, and it's usually easier to win a fight by swinging madly than using controlled and precise wii-mote maneuvers. The multiplayer is a nice try, and it's good to have the option, but I didn't find it very worthwhile. I only played 1 on 1, so a 4 player free for all might work out better. I didn't really find it enjoyable, though. Once the character hits Japan, I found the environments and level design to become very appealing. I got into the character's role, however ridiculous it seemed, and became quite a capable gun fighter. The weapon training level was a joy, and those few rare moments when I'm able to sneak up behind an enemy and take him down with a deft sword stroke feel extremely satisfying. Overall, I feel what the game lacks and what the game does poorly outweighs what the game includes and what the game does well -- I think most people will put this game back in the drawer (deep in the drawer) before it becomes enjoyable. On a scale from 1 - 10, where 10 is best, I'd probably rate it around a 6.5. It's frustrating, but it can be quite satisfying once you acquire the taste. You may want to play alone, though, because it's hard to keep a straight face while the story unfolds when in the company of others. In conclusion, I don't think it's worth its retail price of $49.99 - I'd definitely recommend finding it for under $40. -Rogue Shinobi
