#NowPlaying : Red Steel 2 (Wii)

You already know what I think about the game Red Steel (if not, please read this post: #NowPlaying : Red Steel (Wii))... Lame, wack, ugly, stupid... But I recently bought Red Steel 2 for only 15 Swiss francs. Was it a mistake? Finally no...

I heard the game was ok and had almost nothing to do with the first episode. And yeah, it's definitely the case: the cell-shading and the graphics are quite good (do not forget it's a Wii game), same for the music (especially the asian themes) and the gameplay is just astonishing (O.O)! The way you use the katana is very funny and easy.


My biggest regret? Even if the gameplay is dynamic (thanks to the gun-swordfights), it doesn't prevent the game from being boring: there's no story and the actions ain't varied at all. So you always do the same things.

Too bad, but nice efforts from Ubisoft ;).

My rating: 3/5

#NowPlaying : Red Steel (Wii)

Don't buy it. Don't even try it. It's a waste of time.

Shame on Ubisoft. I never really liked their games, but Red Steel is one of the worst videogame I have at home. But it looked good on paper: an FPS with a japanese vibe, a unique gameplay using the WiiMote and the Nunchuk  of the Wii... But finally the game is just laaaaaaame. The graphics are horrible (remember Goldeneye on Nintendo 64? They're the same!), the game is unplayable (very useful for a FPS), the characters are stupid, the french dubbings are ridiculous and the story's wack.


So why do I play Red Steel?... I bought and started it in 2006 (when the Wii just appeared on the market) and I did really regret it. But I hate when I leave a game behind, I have to finish it. So that's what I'm trying to do right now. Red Steel has a few funny moments, but they're far too rare. This game's total mistake.


Don't try it at home. Don't try it anywhere in fact!...


My rating: 2.5/6

Don't believe that video... By the way, the player looks real dumb.

#NowWatching : Claymore (TV Serie)

As long as there are beautiful women in an anime or a manga, there's like 75% of chance I'll like it even if the scenario is non-existent (Sailor Moon?). Claymore features very nice female fighters (Miria and Galathea <3) and an excellent story. I discovered the original manga of Norihiro Yagi at first, his drawing style is quite austere and stiff but I got used to it. The anime style is more pleasant and lively.

Galathea...

In the anime, the Claymores are just gorgeous... You know what? Read the manga to discover the whole story (since the screenplay of the anime is shorter than the story of the manga) and watch the anime to see how hot the Claymores are!...


I'm quite surprised there are not many Claymore doujins... Mmmh...


My rating: 4/6

The beautiful Miria

#NowPlaying : Resonance Of Fate (XBox360)

It's been such a long time (since Lost Odyssey and Persona 3 in fact) that I didn't really appreciate a Japanese role playing game. But Resonance Of Fate did change that, mad thanks to Sega and especially to tri-Ace: visually astonishing, RoF features dynamic gunfights and nice characters (especially Leanne ;)). The game reminds me a bit of Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria.


A lot of people say that RoF is really difficult but I never had any problem. Some gamers of the new generation are totally lame...


I'm at the beginning of chapter 6, I hope the scenario will quickly evolve cuz I always have the same kind of missions...


My rating: 4/6
