| Product DescriptionMODEL- 17324 VENDOR- UBISOFT FEATURES- Red Steel Wii Red Steel is an exclusive Revolution launch title that takes full advantage of the console s innovative controller and puts players directly into the action-packed first-person experience with the weapon in their hand - literally. An engaging storyline unfolds as you learn that your fiancee has been kidnapped and her father - a Japanese mafia kingpin - murdered by a rival gang. The only way to save your loved one and defend your honor is to journey from Los Angeles to Japan and confront the Tokyo underworld. By learning the ancient art of Japanese fighting with your katana and the focused precision of modern firearms, you will progress and adapt yourself to this foreign environment, where skills alone may not guarantee you victory. Red Steel is the only original first-person action game built from the ground up for the Revolution. Take full advantage of the Revolution controller, and control the action like never before. You ll replicate sword-fighting movements and eliminate enemies quickly by directly targeting and shooting them. Execute deadly combo moves using multiple swords or choose from a variety of firearms for longer-range attacks. Learn to harness your mental power to unleash powerful attacks in dire situations, and use the "focus system" to freeze time and effectively target several enemies at once. Learn the art of Japanese fighting, and then use these skills to take out your enemies or gain their respect and loyalty by sparing them. Challenge friends with various split-screen multiplayer modes to see who the real master is. -- SPECIFICATIONs --------------------------------------- ESRB Rating : T for Teen Genre/Category : Shooter System : Wii Number of Players : Multi On-Line Compatible: No
Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-05-26      Good game. Underrated in reviews This is a great game but falls short overall. The only thing is that you have to be very subtle with the shooting parts and very obvious with the sword parts. The game is lengthy (with about 45 minutes a level and 8 or 9 levels) and the story is good. The graphics are pretty good too but in some parts are look as bad as PS2. But the graphics aren't the important part because it's using the remote to shoot that's fun. If you are subtle with it you can make headshots and later you learn how to disarm them by shooting their guns off them.
If you got a Wii and want a good time waster and decent FPS get this game. |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-30      A game that had a lot of potential, and then just kind of......died. Red Steel oozed potential, it could have been so awesome, I probably would have pre-ordered it had I owned a Wii at the time. Luckily I didn't, but my friend did, which allowed me to try it out before I spent $50 on it.
The graphics are probably the best part of this game. They're solid, and pretty good looking for a Wii title. This will probably remain to be one of the best looking games on the Wii with a focus on realism. Other games that do not focus on realism though, like Super Mario Galaxy or Super Smash Bros. Brawl, blow it away. The frame-rate can drop from time to time, especially when there's explosions going on, and the load times can be ridiculous, but overall the game runs relatively solid.
The soundtrack is pretty generic as far as I'm concerned. Nothing special here folks, but nothing dreadful either. The voice acting is pretty mediocre, and even offensive to the Asian culture at times, but that may be in part to the horribly written script.
The game-play is where this game should have really shined, but that is certainly not the case.The enemy AI is idiotic. The controls, where this game should once again shine, are actually quite horrible and barely work. A lot of the time, they will aim in the opposite direction of where you're pointing the Wii-mote. Don't even bother trying to fight in close quarters combat, well, unless you feel like a good laugh.
Just an overall big disappointment. Maybe they'll fix these problems for Red Steel 2, maybe they won't. Bottom line, stay away from this game unless you're truly desperate for something to play on your Wii. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-29      Red Steel Wii If you are a fan of a shooter game, you should think about getting this ame. There is alot of good action. You are a body gaurd and your client and girlfriend gets kidnaped and basicly you are going around doing missions for Japanese gang leaders building up your respect and trying to save your girlfriend, by shooting everybody in sight. Good luck Scott-san! |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-23      Great game - Muy buen juego Hi. Do you like fast first person shooters games, dynamic and with the possibility of use very different types of weapons ? Then this game is for you. Overall it's ok, it can be perfected but it going to give you a good time. Recommended.
