OMG, this game really is awful. :lol:

I got my wii back in the first march after it's launch (07?) and of course, I got it with LoZ:TP. But, I wanted to try out the wii's only FPS (at the time) despite bad reviews. And, it was ok. I enjoyed it.

The game went back to blockbuster that same week back in march 07 and I've since then played MP3 and MoH:H2.

I just today bought red steel from gamestop for $15. And man o man, it's like night and day. Really, nothing in red steel is done right or well. The sensitivity is way off, the pointer flickers, the dead zone is freaking huge, physics suck, hit detection is too lose, and the button layout and waggle layout really is crap. I guess it was the nostalgia of playing my first wii FPS, but I don't really remember it being quite this bad.

Red steel 2 better step up, because there's good concept here, it just needs ubisoft to take it's time.

:lol:, okay, your right, that will never happen.

It's a very mediocre FPS. People like it because no matter what, an FPS can be kind of fun unless it's just completely broken.

I bought it at launch with Zelda and I actually really enjoyed it. It was so bad its good. I played it again a few weeks ago and couldn't control it at all. I guess once you have other FPS controls to compare it to (MP3, MOH:H2) its simply terrible.

This game is ok. Def not the best FPS ive played, but it was fun. I actually found that the sword play worked better while standing. You have got to remember, it is a launch game. Now that they have found how to make the Wiimote work, MP3, Medal of Honor, Conduit, etc... Redsteel 2 should be better.

I had more fun playing Far Cry than I did Red Steel.

You forgot to mention the hilariously bad voice acting. You know its bad when you have a african american character who is clearly being voiced by a caucasian "wannabe"

Please tell me that was a joke? More fun with FarCry???? You mean FarCry: Vengeance for the Wii, right? It is impossible to have any fun with that game. Do you mean you had negative amounts of fun with Red Steel because that is the only way you could have more fun with FarCry.

Wow, Far Cry was terrible. I've never played a game inwhich the AI cheats. Controls were aweful. Nothing good about this game.

Maybe on Wii...but so are a lot of good devs, so maybe we start pointing the finger at Nintendo.

To those saying it was fun: When's the last time you played it? Because when I first played it I enjoyed it too, but since then I've played MP3 and MoH:H2...and now that Ive picked up redsteel again, it's simply too annoying to control.

I didn't dislike Red Steel, it was worth the $19 I spent for it, though I can understand the rage of those who paid $50 to play it at launch. Really, if you played Fart Cry Vengeance, even Red Steel feels like Crysis.

Red Steel was ok and despite being told that it was terrible I still went out and bought it second hand. Red Steel has some good ideas but they are not executed so well especially if you are left handed when the controls suck at times.

I didn't think it was that bad and my pointer never flickered. There are a couple cool levels deeper in the game. Play a level a day just to beat it

I actually enjoyed and still have it in my wish list, as I only rented. I think people just like to criticize even without keeping in mind this was the FIRST FPS for the Wii, and that Ubi took the bold move to announce it as one of the first 3rd party titles when everybody was doubtfoul about the Wii, and not only was one of the first announced, it was also exclusive and still is.

The controls were awful and the presentation was lacking, but I liked the overall stages and setting.

I thought it was decent but after playing other shooters like mohh2 or metriod it seems so sloppy and unfinished

I do enjoy this game (believe it or not this was the game that got me interested in the Wii) and fully realise that it's a launch title but as I said before some good ideas but at times poorly executed. You should check out the Gamespot review which in my opinion is a bit harsh at times on the game but it's worth seeing.

I just hope that if Ubisoft releases Red Steel 2 in the future they sort things out like the control scheme (left handed mode please). Also I'm not a big fan of get shot and 1 second later your health has gone back to normal again. I would have prefered hunting around for health items.

Ps- Have you heard of a game called PN03? That was exclusive too.

Farcry 2?

Far cry 2 isn't coming out on the Wii.
