Great Concept that failed because of the lack of Wii technology when it came out.

This is one of those "coulda, shoulda, woulda" games where you know it could have been great but then you play it and you just get let down because of the unresponsiveness and other issues. The sword fighting system is way too easy and guns in the game are much too sporadic. overall great concept not so great game. im looking foward to the sequel.

Another annoying thing about it is the multiplayer. In the multiplayer since its split screen hiding doesnt work at all unless the person you are playing against is not screen-looking which never happens to me. This just takes any element of suprise out of the fights. basically the person with the bigger gun wins.

playing this game at all is basically just a waste of your time and i wouldnt suggest so much as looking at red steel unless it has a number 2 next to it.

so to sum up my views of this game:

1. great concept
2. fail programming
3. broken multiplayer
4. wii motion plus will greatly improve it
5. cant wait to see if the sequel is any better
6. /facedesk
