After playing through Red Steel 2, my thoughts on it are simple: It's a good game, but not $50 good. The game controls great and the presentation is one of the best I've seen on the Wii yet, but the game is short and there's really not enough content in it to justify multiple playthroughs. It does manage to be a good rental, though I would definitely try it before you consider a purchase.

IMHO :

That's one of the first game I ever played that makes me feel I bash my way into the ennemies. After big fights I breathe heavily because of the huge swords movements I have to perform. I just beat a tough boss and it was a blast, had to mix quicly between parrying stance, slashing and shooting. Too much fun. And I have not completed all sidequests, this will be for my next playthrough in hard.

its not the worst game ever at all, its very average i mean VERY average, its not worth full price and all the praise from other forum goers.

Sure, the story sucks, but the gameplay is where its at and Ubisoft nailed it.

Excellent game.

Sad but true. But then again that isn't sayin much.

this game is better than average as proven by the metcritic score
