I rented it. It's not fun. Just a lot of hype if you ask me. I couldn't believe the reviews were so high.
Main problem for me: 20-30 minutes of "training" in the beginning lulled me to sleep. Bad voice acting and cinematics annoyingly appear at every turn. Finally I got to sword-fighting, which was fun... BUT... Wii Sports Resort's sword-fighting felt better and finer-tuned.
So then, after you kill two guys, back to training and bad cinematics! Ugh! This game is 70% bad cinematics and 30% Motionplus sword-swinging.
The whole western setting is incredibly dull as well. Western settings have NEVER sold games. It's just an easy cliche that never works. I can almost imagine the developers foaming at the mouth saying "Let's do a western! It'll be SO COOL!"
In terms of Motion Plus sword-fighting I think most of us are waiting for Zelda. Red Steel is a dead franchise on the Wii. I imagine they'll try to take it to the PS3 (only to have it fail in just the same way).
