Red Steel 2 Preview - it's all about the gameplay

My concern is repetition. 1:1 sword fighting is cool, but will get boring quick unless you have to use skill, brains and reflexes. Even then, it'll get tiring before long.

Precisely what I'm concerned about. Good graphics and great controls will only get you so far if the gameplay is repetitive and boring.

I'm also worried about the length and lasting appeal of the game. I can't see Red Steel 2 lasting very long (5-6 hours), and unless there's a bunch of cool stuff after the game, I doubt there will be much replay value for it. We'll see how it turns out, though.
