Solid shooter, it was a lot of fun.
Honestly this game was a lot of fun. It was not perfect by any means, but it was a very enjoyable game. I did not have any problem with the controls and thought many of them worked very well. So I was really shocked to see so many sub 5 review for this game, but like wise many of the 8.5+ are equally shocking. I also think this is a game that had it fixed some of its flaws, could have been a 10. I would recommend them to try and make a Red Steel 2, and fix some oft he problems.
The overall story and game play is solid, but nothing new. You are looking to save you one true love, and must kill thousands of yakuza to accomplish this. Its a good story and works well with the characters.
The graphics are average. Compared to some of the newer games they really do not stand up. However I am sure at the time this was the sharpest game out. Some of the scenes do not look very good but not many of them fall into this category. The audio is about the same it does a good job but again nothing fantastic.
I liked the controls, and thought they did a great job working with the wi mote. You can get tired, and I am sure we have all drawn or sword in a gun battle but overall I liked it. I think it could be a little better in the next version.
Fixing a few flaws in the story, better graphics, better controls, and you have a game that could battle for a top spot!
The slow down mode is very cool.
