    My Red Steel Review

    Well I've been playing Red Steel for about a month and found that Red Steel is an interesting game.  As far the graphics, its par to golden eye for the 64.  The Physics are pretty good and the ability to destroy furniture and other objects in the game are cool.  The storline is pretty much ur typical american meets east and everything is the same on most of these stories.

    Now onto the controls.  Well this is somthing of  a diference for those who are used to ur regular fps controls.  Well u start with ur remote and this will be ur aiming mechanism.  The nunchuck will be ur moving mechanism.  Now the gameplay, the story revolves around american and tokyo.  You also go through using guns and swords to fight.  The sword fighting techniques are pretty cool, but I feel u should be able to do more moves with ur sword.

You try to combat an enemy with your katana blade with graceful, weaving strike...

      Good Idea Gone Bad 0

      Red Steel was the quintessential tech demo for the Wii. We thought it impossible for Ubisoft to disappoint with such an interesting idea that made full use of the Wii's intuitive controllers. Many, many months later, most people have moved on, but this title still leaves a sour taste in Wii launch victims' collective mouth. In Red Steel, you are Scott, boyfriend of the daughter of a Yakuza ringleader. The story begins with Scott and his girlfriend on the eve of the announcement of their engage...
