I'm really enjoying this game now! At first it was a little bland but now its really getting somewhere.Admittedly you can tell in parts the game was rushed. Sometimes the graphics are little grim and other times (like the sun shining into the office, or the beach of the dock) they look great.However, I did have trouble with the controller. The first time I played it it was fine. I then went back and the aim was skipping about everywhere. I played Zelda and then came back to it. The controls were 100% and really added to the gameplay. I then moved it into my bedroom on my 14" TV, not changing any settings. It still worked 100%. No idea why it spazzed out in an early gaming session.

I agree with other reviews here.As far as graphics are concerned (sorry to burst your bubble person below me) the graphics are definitely NOT on par with Black the PS2/Xbox game. You're wrong there im afraid. I personally agree that they ARE on par with the best ps1 games (at the end of that consoles life). Dont think most people need to google this, lots of people owned a ps1 and remember quite clearly what it looked like ;)The cut scenes definitely do look as bad as ps1 as well.The wii is only just out, so id expect the graphics to be bad but even I was dissappointed with how bad the graphics are on this game. And it does effect gameplay too. If someone is far away,

i have to admit, that buying this game, even when second hand seemed like a bit of a risk. the 90% given to it in a official nintendo magazine review was clearly biased, and many online reviews were less than encouraging. dont let this put you off tho, this game is a must for casual FPS gamers; here's whats good and what's bad:the most important element for a wii game is of course, the use of the wii remote, and for the most part i think its a step in the right direction. many ppl have complained about the non-fixed 'bounding box' for gun aiming, and the slow turn around time. personally, i find this refreshing, more realistic, and actually an advantage when faced by many foes in a small area.

For a FPS This game has a preaty neat story, at first it seems basic but with 2 different endings, a classic "anime" (note it's set in Japan) story moral aat the end (well on one of the endings) and The comic book cut scenes.(again note Japan + Anime...)So Graphics wise well actualy (sorry to burst your bubble person below me) The graphics are definatly on par with Black the PS2/Xbox game (just google red steel screen shots you can tell they are definatly better than PS1 games...), and the game uses a nice focus system which alows you to practicaly stop time and tag targets...niceThe physics work well things blow up people fly across (bit like a hollywood film), I have never experianced any slow down in game,

Red Steel sees Nintendo take a darker path. Which is does not normally do. But Nintendo have suceeded in producing a really fun title. It is challenging with very good graphics (for a Wii game). But of course, it is certainly not perfect.General Gameplay: The gameplay is brilliant. However, there is a fairly large learning curve before you can really start to enjoy this game. The controls are somewhat awkward, but ive mastered them in just a couple of hours of game time.Controls (in more depth):The controls are actually very effective, even though it may not seem like it at first.Holding and firing a gun is as simple as it could be. You hold the Wiimote up to the screen, press the B button to fire,

Great game. Well worth buying. It is that simple. It is definately worth buying if you have a love for First-Person Shooter games like me. The enemy banter is quite amusing, cheesy and does the job as is the AI. There are a number of glitches, however that aside the bloom (over intensified) lighting is great, and adds to the style, although the textures look a little washed out - no bother really. It is definately a lot better graphics than the Gamecube or PS2 though. Red Steel has a VERY STEEP learning curve, due in large part to the over-sensitive controls, for example... when you are being shot at by numerous enemies at once, it is easy to lose your bearings under pressure and it may take you a while to get your view back to normal,

I found this game to be very dull at first. The early stages of the plot are far from exciting but I soon realised that they are nessecary to set the scene and to get the player used to the control system for moving, shooting and sword fighting. Once the on-the-job training is done the plot moves on at a quick pace and you start to understand whats going on.The cut scenes are a bit of a cop out graphically but they do feel Japanese and are very similar to the acting - its like a very cheesily dubbed japanese action movie. (Japanese speaking english with American accents)The game is very difficult to get to grips with at first as the wiimote is quite sensitive and leaves quite a small window

I brought this game with my Wii at Launch because it came as part of a package. Many mags and websites had been critical of this game, but I really don't understand why? The games story is weak, but it's not really the story that is the focus of the game. Basically, your engaged to a girl you were originally a body guard for, and you go to meet her father. However, during this meeting, gagsters show up and kidnap the girl, and its up to you to get her back.The game is set in the first person, so you see everything through the eyes of your character. There aren't a great range of guns, mainly different types of machine gun, shotgun and handgun really, but what is nice is the ability to use swords using the Wii remote and nunchuck.

I bought this before reading all the reviews, and had a bit of a panic when I read some of the more dismal ones.Then it arrived and I played it.Now, I've only completed the first 2 levels/missions but;This game is Awsome! A note to the people who found it hard to aim, set the sensitivity down to low in the options, this is recommended to first time players when you see it in the options. With this set, the machinegun was easy to master.I will admit some people find the control system hard to deal with (one of my mates and my Girlfriend for example, but they don't play FPS much anyway) but to me it's just so natural and intuitive, unless you get distracted and the controller points off the screen leaving you spinning madly.

I thought I was the only one that thought this game rocked. I was pretty shocked to read the very mediocre reviews form the "experts" like gamespot which gave this game a 5.5Most of the "experts" seem to base their opinions mostly on the control scheme. I admit at first it was a bit unwieldy, because instead of using a control pad or 'joystick' to aim the gun/reticle, you use the remote to point. As such it did seem a bit too sensitive, but once you play for a while you get very used to it. At least I did, it felt almost second nature to me. The sword fighting is a bit janky but still good, your motions doesn't necessarily translate to what happens on the screen.I thought the whole storyline

Much like the launch of any console, the launch titles are not polished. However, one thing that can certainly be said for the Wii launch titles is that they're fun, you can probably pick out 7 titles and have a great amount of fun with them, I struggled to find 2 at the 360s launch.Fun but flawed is exactly how I'd describe Red Steel. The Japanese style and music is fantastic. I can't fathom why they had Japanese actors speak in english rather than subtitling but its still nice to have a game of this style.Nintendo originally asked devlopers to work with Gamecube development kits whilst the Wii hardware was finalised, and this shows in Red Steel. There are good character models and the majority of the textures are detailed enough,

I consider myself so lucky, afterall i didnt order this game!It was a mistake!Oh, thank u amizon!I did at first concider sending it back the next day without playing it but i thought whats the point.so i did play it and at first i was wondering what on earth was going on but i soon caught on and whizzed my way through the first level until i got alittle stuk on the secon level (why cant i draw my sword,why cant i pick up the gun in the office!)but still it was a good game and im sure one of u gamers out there could answer these questions because even theo i had to send the game back i have just ordered it!plus redsteel,is actually was better than the game i was sopposed to get in the first

A lot of people seem to be put off by the Official reviews, which is a shame as it's a really fun game.I don't understand people who write comments such as "Doesn't look as good as the XBOX 360" - Well of course it isn't, look at the hardware! If you're a gamer who loves the most up-to-date graphics then go and buy yourself an XBOX 360/PS3/Upgrade to your PC, but it's pointless moaning about something which the more intelligent amongst us already know - The Wii is less powerful than other 'Next Gen consoles' hence visually, it won't look as nice.Personally, I thought the Graphics weren't too bad at all. Yes, there were glitches and I even opened one door which had 'DEFAULT TEXTURE' written on it,

I bought this game when I first got my Wii.I didn't know what to expect as I was very excited about the new and innovative control scheme. On the other hand, I had read some very negative reviews and early impressions. I did not need to worry as this game turned out to be great.It seems to me like people wanted this game to fail. People said the control scheme was too hard, I must've played a different game to them, as I found the aiming absolutely spot on. The sword moves did take a little time to get used to, but after some persistance, I had most of the sword swipes spot on. I feel that people were scared of the new way of playing.The graphics in this game are nice,

Red steel was another of the games for the Wii console I had been following from E3 onwards. It was one of the two games that I bought with my Wii console, along with Twilight princess. When starting the game, I was surprised at how long it took me to become accustomed with the controls, which are at first, quite clunky, unlike Twilight princess's controls, which feel smooth and refined. When I did get used to them, however things became a lot more fun as I entered a wonderful first-person shooter. A thing that i muse comment on is the games fantastic gun battles, which are the best I have ever expeirienced, and work brilliantly with the Wii's control system.
