Forums - Nintendo - Red Steel 2 Reviews

Eurogamer gave the game a lower score but overall were still positive about the game. Here is the end quote - 

In the end, you'll likely forgive Ubisoft's game its shortcomings on the strength of its energy, obvious good will, and deep sense of craft. There are some thrilling set-pieces in here, along with moments that rank amongst the Wii's most beautiful, including a midnight rooftop race to catch a train which plays out under a huge cream-coloured moon. It's a lovely sequence.

As with any good Western - or any good samurai film - Red Steel 2 is ultimately about character: it's flawed, certainly, but entirely honourable with it.

Score 7/10

That's a pretty high score from IGN.

We know that no Wii games ever get a 9.0 so this is like a 9.6 from them.

Didn't MadWorld get a 9?

Blood's worth a half point, I think.
