I don't know where you have been reading about amazing characters, storyline, etc. (I didn't actually read reviews), but I still stand by my thread, and Red Steel 2 being awesome.

The gameplay is just so much fun, and more than makes up for the crappy everything-else to me.

your thread is the reason why i rushed to the store and bought the game.

should have named this thread, DON'T LISTEN TO RAINBIRD!

Got it yesterday and I'm having fun. Sure, the story sucks, but the action and gameplay are fantastic, so who cares? (besides Severance )

Do tell your experience with it after you finish a couple of levels

repetitiveness kills it.

So far the action seems pretty varied to me, actually.

I took a quick look at your collection and realized that Oni is the closest thing to Red Steel 2 that I've played before. It's got the crappy story and poor voice work, but an intriguing and unique combat system that focuses on open movement, melee combat, with some firearms on the side. The first person perspective and motion control make Red Steel 2 feel a lot more visceral, and the gunplay feels integral to the game (though absolutely secondary to the melee) rather than a total afterthought as in Oni.

Honestly, that's exactly what I thought this game would be (but hoped it wouldn't) - repetitive.

I'll pick it up when it drops down to $20.

I don't think it's repetitive. As you go through the game, they teach you new moves and you find new weapons to mix it up a bit. I'm on my third playthrough and I'm not bored of it yet, but maybe that's just me.

oh boy, i just feel like you describe and dont even have a copy of the game, only read comments and saw the videos.

now i see the game only sold 50.000 pcs.

i do not think my ubisoft share are going to raise thanks to RS2....

Too late...I'm enjoying the game and its deserves the reviews it gets. You just have bad tastes, loser.
