Red Steel is an exclusive Wii 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 fiancée 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.
Buy Red Steel on Nintendo WII
very good
I really enjoyed this game and may well buy it when the price comes down. The controls are intuitive (well after a short practice anyway) The start up screen and game load can be little confusing but a full manual would probably sort this out. Generally standard FPS fayre, go somewhere, kill everyone, go somewhere else. But the sword fighting aspect is quite novel and fun though not sure why its there, why mess with swords when you could (if the game let you) give them 2 taps to the head from the automatic pistol? That said it is great fun to have that hand up close and personal experience. The plot and story seem a little confusing, but that is the point you’re supposed to be a foreigner getting involve with Japanese gang culture for the first time. The variety of weapons is good and each have there specific specialities and for once in a game the UZI if highly inaccurate but great a subduing large swathes of bad guys. Most of the weapons seem to behave properly. If you are not sure about this game but like FPS give it a go, I was pleasantly surprised.
