#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

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.
