"Red Steel 2 is a very good FPS-esque action game with heavy emphasis on swordplay. The cartoon graphics are excellent and the MotionPlus-sword works really well. [Apr 2010]"

This game is just ridiculous! The setting is absurd, the concept a joke, the story laughable.. however.. it doesn't matter because it This game is just ridiculous! The setting is absurd, the concept a joke, the story laughable.. however.. it doesn't matter because it all somehow works and ends up being the most fun I have had with a wii game ever. Sword slashing is extremely satisfying and being able to pull the trigger on one of four well designed guns anytime you need them will have you feeling like your in a clint eastwood (draw fast or die) western. The cel shaded look is absolutely gorgeous... but in the end all that matters is that the ability to finish off your opponents with precision and ridiculously pleasing finishers will have you feeling like one bad sword wielding gun shooting samurai cowboy. Two boyhood fantasies smashed into one... simply divine and oh so tasty!… Expand

It's not Triple A, but it's definitely AA. Now to be honest, at first, I was extremely disappointed when I first picked the game up. The gameplay and controls just felt mediocre. But after 20 minutes, everything picked up and the controls were fine. So for anyone who has given this game anything lower than a 8, I highly doubt they finished the game. The further you go into the game, the better it gets. The voice acting is APPROPRIATELY chessy (for some characters) because it a comic-like game. You have so many powers you can use, and the great thing about those is that you can string them together and such to make combos. Im going to stop typing right now cause I could go on for days, but just know this - it's a great game.… Expand

Wow! this has been an amazing ride!! trust me if you are bored with your Wii-which you shouldn't be with all the great games- then check Wow! this has been an amazing ride!! trust me if you are bored with your Wii-which you shouldn't be with all the great games- then check this one out! If your wallet only allows you to purchase one newly released game on the Wii make it this one. The visuals, gameplay, and story are all so intreaguing and satisfing. I own all consoles and playing this game made me confuse myself as to which console i was playing it on. The quality of this game can be mistaken for MassEffect, Halo, or Borderlands, and the visuals! Jesus the visuals! Let ubisoft take you on a ride on their Red Steel rollocoaster.… Expand

Red Steel 2 sales suffered from the bad first episode, but you should know that both games have almost nothing in common except for mixingRed Steel 2 sales suffered from the bad first episode, but you should know that both games have almost nothing in common except for mixing guns and katana fights.
For the rest of the game every aspect is way better, the graphics that have a comic/manga art-style are from the best you can find on Wii. The universe is very original mixing an eastern people and culture with the Far-West environment . The game is articulated around chapter, each chapter is based on a different mini-open world with a few side-quests to do (basically find and collect/destroy things). Too bad the story doesn't take advantage of it and fails to offer true context to the characters. If you do the , not very interesting, side-quests the game will last about 12 hours which is very acceptable for a FPS.

But the best part of this game is its gameplay, contrary to the first game, it's very very fun, with lots of combos to learn (I forgot to say that there's also an upgrade system in this game) the controls respond perfectly, you can switch without difficulty between the sword and the guns. I really had a blast playing the game.

Red Steel 2 is maybe the best FPS on the console, even if it is not a masterpiece (boring side quests and story, not a lot of epics moments) I recommend it to every Wii owner with a taste for shooting/slicing.… Expand

It's basically the same game all the way through. But even so, I had a ton of fun with it. The motion+ works great. I love the ability to switch from gun to sword and back to gun in seconds! It's cool. The futuristic-desert-western-comic-style graphics are appealing. The only things that I didn't like about this title is the short single player mode and the lack of replay value. Definitly worth renting.… Expand

I'm not saying it's better or worse than, say, Call of Duty, or Halo, it's just different. Everything about it is different. Unlike the vast majority of other first person shooters, your not a soldier, but something more unique than that. You are an outcast, who wields the sora katana, the most powerful sword that ever existed. Eventually you will discover the powers of the sword, which adds to the gameplay. Your wii remote is a sword. This isn't Zelda where you flick you wrist a little to swing your sword, you have to swing your sword like a sword. The harder you swing the more damage you do. You also get a revolver, which you to upgrade, and you can buy other guns, like a shotgun, but you can't upgrade these. This game is very short. It took four days to beat it twice. The story is okay, but that's not why you playing. At least I hope not. The story isn't anything special but the cutscenes are sure to make you feel like a badass. This is a game for the gamer who is dying inside because there isn't many good shooters out there for the wii. Well here you go.… Expand
