Sorry, but Red Steel isn't that great. And Wii Sports was way better than anyone expected... so WiiPlay sounds like a much better choice, since it goes down sort of the same line.
due to the fact i have to save money for a holiday next year ive limited myself to 1 game per pay packet (month). Starting off with wii play (and a nunchuk) for december purely because of the free controller. will play around with wii play and wii sport until end of dec start of jan when ill jump into zelda.
Wiiplay functionally costs $10 if you already planned on getting a second remote. That and the poor reviews and word of mouth surrounding Red Steel should make the choice a no-brainer.
Everyone has said that Red Steel is a rental game at best. So you should probably just fork out $5 to rent it instead.
