LOL. It looks like you're catching your breath.

I just picked it up today, and I can honestly say you played a role!

I bet I look even more ethusiastic than you when I play Grand Slam Tennis. There is swearing, and there is taunting.

Don't worry, the more you swing that remote, the easier it gets.

Just going to say it again. Very good fun, super smooth swordplay and graphics. Big swings are recognised clearly. Excited to get the tougher enemies. Strafing is pretty neat too.

Haha, yeah, the game is pretty intense

I was finally able to beat that group, it took me a few tries, so it's part relief and part calming down

I played it yesterday, thought the IR controls for gun/camera were pretty meh considered how MoH Heroes 2 still has better IR gun controls, then when some motions didn't register and in the end its just another swing instead of button press, yes its much better than most of the crap on the Wii as far as motion controls go, yes its MUCH better than the original Red Steel, but I've seen how well the WM+ controls work for sword fighting on Wii Sports Resort and it didn't live up to that.

So... for right now I'm in the mindset that Tiger Woods did better WM+ controls, Wii Sports Resort did better sword controls, and games that came out years ago have better gun/camera controls, so what does the game have going for it? Well the game itself... and so far it's really boring to me, I'm trying to give it time, but last night it got to the point I just had to put it down and play Cave Story and Pokemon because that shit got boring lol.

The art and character design is fine, the world they tried to create is nice, but its not dazzling. In fact for as many people that bashed the shit out of The Conduit for being a lot of linear paths and just being fight this mob of enemies, rise and repeat, so far Red Steel 2 is feeling that way. But man on top of this the voice acting (other than the old man) is making me cringe.

Honestly I REALLY hope this changes, but so far all things considered... I have no idea why this is getting decent scores, but I'm going to truck on a bit more and hope it gets good.

@ Maxwell

If you don't like it so far, I doubt you will. I don't know if you have gotten some of the special moves yet though. And I have to disagree, I think WSR sucks. It may have better swordcontrols, but using them is about as exciting as watching a snail crawl, compared to Red Steel 2 at least.

I love fighting off people in WSR, that's like my favorite mode... I mean they give you 3 hearts and you fight people till you even beat everyone or die in the process, and it makes me think how amazing Zelda could be with the 1:1 controls lol

Yes I've got like 3 special moves so far, and people said it'd take a little to get into, but I've beaten the first real boss and it was incredibly easy on normal and I just didn't care, I was really bored :\

It's not gonna improve for you then.

Haha, the video in the OP is great, reminds me of Just Dance.

MaxwellGT, I strongly disagree with some of what you've said, but if you don't like it so far I'm guessing you're not gonna.
