Despite what all the reviews and people say I still find it a very fun game to play, not the best game in my collection but its quite near the top. My non-gaming friend who bought a Wii really loves red steel, so yeah its a good game.

Howd you manage that?

there's a map?!?! I've never seen maps for this game

this is a great game. the only things that bug me are the crosshairs never stay still and will jump about. this is annoying when you are lying in wait for someone to pop their head up and then the damn crosshair moves. the other thing that annoys me is when doing sword fights (is it just me or do the sword fights get easier as you go through the game). the controls for the sword fight are not sensitive enough - you really have to make your actions slow for the wii to respond which is annoying - i dont think i've ever pulled off a scorpion attack

It was a fun experience, though mainly because it of Wii itself. The reticule jumping is incredibly distracting (it always waited to get me till I was trying to snipe under fire), and turning around takes forever. In multiplayer (as fun as that is) once someone gets behind you (if they're half-way good), you're dead before you can turn and confront them.

Fortunately for me I haven't played anyone who is very decent at it so I tend to slaughter anyone that I play against. I like the game, that stupid jumping crosshair is just too much for me at times, so it has been collecting dust for a few months now.

red steel's great for learning wii's control's but overall it's crap

the best way to play this game is to kill them from a distance. as long as the cross hair doesnt jump around to much you can target them, zoom in and take head shots. even the shotgun (which is 'sposed to be for close action combat has a very long range)....

bear in mind as well that you can stock up on bullets at harry's bar for both of your weapons up to a full mag so of course if you do get chance to pick up a weapon that you cant normally get access to such as an AE rifle then you can start the next mission with a full mag. 1 shot from an AE and they are down no matter where you hit them

I thought that the game looked cool, but I don't have it. Multiplayer looked like it was pretty good also.

stupid gaijin

I agree! ^_^ This game is very enjoyable. The more I play, the more puzzled I am as to why this game got so many bad ratings.

Haha, very nice.

I love red steel!!! i dnt understand how ppl think its bad and hate it prolly cuz they nvr played it b4 but its amazing tho a bit repetative...i dnt no how ppl like zelda..tp over ..red steel ...like screw graphics who cares as long as u have the game!...

I am really liking this game. Complaints about the controls boil down to it being a bit slow to turn around and I'm sure that annoys the hell out of most. I have no real complaints other than the cutscenes are pretty cheesily animated but other than that very, very fun game. People who hate it ware expecting too much from the wiimote. The wireless and overall technology in the wiimote is pure genius as far as gameplay is concerned but technically it cannot even come close to 1:1 when moving the remote rapidly. If you go into it with an open mind and take the time to LEARN the controls, the game is solid, solid fun with just a few nitpicks here and there. As stated above, the controls don't favor a melee type experience where you rush into the room and let everyone have it.... You'll get killed before you turn around...

Does redsteel get better after the beggining?

Red Steel is an awesome game, I completed it but for some reason I'm still at 75% and I don't know why... But I can't wait for RS2 apparently it's out this month right? Well... I wouldn't completely rely on play.com!

this month? Thats pretty unlikely. I dunno about that source . . .

I just got red steel yesterday and I have been playing non-stop. Im at the part in the beggining where i am portecting the father of the woman and it has been pretty fun although i am mostly just going into rooms and killing people. After the father dies will it become more intresting and funner than it already is?And also is their missions?

shrimpy you have to beat all the levels with the samuri ranking, if you look on the first page i believe there is a link to the walkthrough and it has everything you need to know to get those rankings....basically you have to beat them under a certain time, have a certain amount of accuracy and a certain amount of respect points

Lovewii, yes the game gets better....much better
