Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Are you going to give Red Steel 2 a chance?

I will give it a shot, but I wont buy it unless it is really good.



Around the Network

From my experience with the first Red Steel. I am looking forward to the sequel. I can give the original Red Steel a few points.

First it was a launch window title for the Wii, sort of rushed if you ask me.
Second it was the first true FPS on the Wii other than Call of Duty 3 at the time.
Third, it provided some really intense actions, like sword fighting and etc.

I for one, enjoyed the game, I didn't have a problem. But the only gripe I had was the sword fighting. If Ubisoft would of polished that portion of the game up. I would of been good. But other than that the controls were spot on. Some of the reviews I disagreed with. A couple of weeks ago, EBGames was selling the game for $10, used. I should of picked it up. Because I previously traded my first copy in. Now I regret it, because Red Steel was a decent game.

But I am looking forward to the next sequel.

Red Steel was an above average game really. The problem was the game was rushed to be a launch title.

There are 3 things very wrong with Red Steel, but all 3 things are easily fixed at this moment in the Wii's lifetime:

1. Clunky controls. Metroid and Medal of Honor, and now Call of Duty and The Conduit are showing good Wii controls easily surpass analog controls for the FPS genre. Ubisoft just needs to copy The Conduit's control model.

2. No online multiplayer. Ubisoft already confirmed online for Red Steel 2.

3. Low quality graphics. Red Steel 1 didn't support any kind of dynamic lightning effect, no bump mapping, had terrible weapon models and even then it had a terrible framerate. We all know the Wii is able to produce some tasty graphics running at 60 (or at least 30) frames solid. Shouldn't be too hard considering the size of Ubisoft as a developer.



If anyone is entitled to be excited for Killzone 2, I can get my hopes up for this game.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

If it scores decent in reviews (80+) I'll prolly get it sooner or later.



 

I'm definitely gonna give it a shot, especially if it's MotionPlus enabled. This might because I'm 100% sure I'm getting Wii Sports Resort and would want as much use outta MotionPlus as possible.

Either way, I was interested in the original Red Steel too, but hearing so much about the crappy controls and such put me off.
