I understand Red Steel isn't the longest game ever, and I also know CoD 3 is pretty short. My questions:
1)How short is Red Steel? (How many days did it take you to beat?)
2)Which is longer - Red Steel or CoD3?

I would guess Red Steel would take longer because it's controls are soooo poor, you'll just get stuck in sword-fighting boss battles. Man, I should probably trade that game in before it loses too much worth....and get CoD3 instead.

Not very short. Probably takes 15 hours (that is, if you don't suck).

I've played the game already and love the controls. They can be a bit annoying at times, but all in all they're fine.

15 hours isnt short at all to me. Add all those times you'll replay it on harder difficulty also. It Seems pretty good for an fps.

So you insult me for having a different opinion than you and then claim you're "not trying to be mean?" If you look at my profile, you'll see my age is 18, so I'm not a little kid although if I was that wouldn't make my opinion invalid and if you've read most of my posts and threads, you'd see I'm no fool. How do you think I became a mod? Anyway, I don't hate Red Steel's controls. Ubisoft wanted to try something new and they did. I liked opening doors, reloading, and picking up guns with a simple flick of the nunchuk and being able to turn a gun gangsta style by turning the wiimote was great. However, the core aiming, how you had to move the reticle ALL THE WAY OVER to the edge of the screen to turn was a major headache. Don't even get me started on the sword fighting.

In all seriousness though, don't assume that your opinion is the best and only intelligent opinion to have and if someone doesn't share it that they're an adolescent child and/or stupid. It doesn't show much comprehension or open-mindedness on your part.

I don't know where people are getting the idea that those games will magically get online play when other online games come out... maybe their sequels will have it, but I doubt Red Steel & CoD3 will ever get online. (Note: this has been typed from my Wii!)

I got Red Steel today and I don't understand why people have problems with the controls. Perhaps they have 2 fingers on each hand? I picked it up right away, and it's so simple.

Yeah me too. Also, I'm not experiencing any jumpy cursor but I did @ my friends house, who got the game @ launch. Maybe newly stocked Red Steels have a jumpy cursor fix. Anyone else who bought the game today or perhaps within the last week experiencing a jumpy cursor?

It could just be the layout of his TV/sensor bar and maybe any other nearby lights.

sorry, i explained that poorly
i can respect ur opinion that u dont like the controls
what i was getting at is that only an idiot or a little kid would find the controls difficult to use, not that an idiot or a little kid would have an ill opinion of them
maybe i misunderstood u but i was under the impression that u not only disliked the controls, but u found them difficult
i could be wrong and im sorry i upset u
