I have Red Steel 2!

Yeah so I started played RS2 today and have to agree that this game is a winner. First off it looks great. I'm generally not a huge fan of cell shading but here it really works and plays to the Wii's strengths visually.

As stated the sword fighting is almost 1:1 but not quite, and yes this is a very good thing. Frankly this is the first M+ game that really drew me in. The precision is literally 100% which is awesome. Even other M+ games seem to often mistake one motion for another- not RS2.
The tutorials are quick to the point and in-game which makes learning quick and not boring. I was also thrilled to see a dodge command- something rare for a console game and certainly useful.

I would argue though that at times the game get a tad repetitive, but very infrequently. My only other complaint is the lack of control tweaks, but that is more philosophical because the presets are pretty right on.

Overall the presentation is great, the menu looks nice, the voice acting is surprisingly decent, and the graphics are great. For those of you waiting for your pre-orders (I am too) you won't be disappointed.
