I never said I was looking to win a popularity contest. I find it strange that I am most often complemented in the back handed manner only when I disagree with popular opinion. Intelligent people can disagree.
I am rather disturbed by the defense of Red Steel. This is a title that took great advantage of its launch window which coincided with the consoles own launch. Which will always help a titles sales despite quality. The big fish in a small pond analogy.
This title is sub par for any console. Receiving a metacritic rating of 63. Were that a letter grade it would be a D. To compare it to Assassins Creed is almost criminal that game received a metacritic score of 82. The game was rushed, and poorly developed. Ubisoft has confessed to not having done as well by the Wii as they should have. Are we going to argue with Ubisofts own evaluation of their own efforts.
Red Steel was a mediocre title at best. Thats what my first hand experience tells me, and the professional reviewers validate that. This game couldn't even climb into the arena of decent let alone good or great. Don't defend a shitty game it comes off weak.
Don't defend Red Steel it doesn't deserve it. The only redeemable feature of the game was its sound track, and from what I understand you can buy that separately.
