So i found a catalog where it had wii games for 40% off. I just bought strikers and am planning n buying mario party 8, so i dont really want to fork out too much money, but if red steel is worth it at this discount im going to seriously consider buying it.

Thanks for the help.

I really enjoy the game to be honest. But it really isn't worth it for even that price. If I were you I'd wait a little longer for a better game to come out, or until there is a bigger discount being offered.

Ya wii games in Canada are around 55-60 canadian which is stupid, i'll be p****d if were still paying more then americans when our dollar is higher then theres. I'll just start shipping them from the U.S. if this keeps up.

But anyways, I heard it's worth it for 30 bucks, but definity not 60.

I havent played red steel but i've heard bad things about it and seeing as games like Zelda are the same price you can easily get some better games for your $$.

Same here. I thought that it was a fun game. But I can see why some people don't like it, so I say if you can rent it, then that's what you should do. And if you do, give it a while to get used to the controls. When I first got it, I thought it sucked, but then got used to the controls and liked it.

oh and btw to XxSPAZxX's post Wii games retail at around $100 here in Aus and Xbox 360 games at $120. That's not to say you can't save alot if you bother to shop around but the retail prices are pretty high here.

Red Steel is fun on the second play through. The first play through consists of wondering why your aim keeps fidgeting (because of the glitch in the game with the Wiimote speaker on), shooting the ceiling and the walls while trying to turn a little to the left to attack, and being frustrated at any sword combo that involves the Nunchuk. Once you get past all of that it's worth the money after the discount.

For $60 australian I'd buy it. You will be waiting a while before it drops any lower, and the game isn't that bad (it wasn't good either) it's just that the hype was really high, and some people were disappointed since the Wii could offer so much more

I got Mario strikers for free when I bought my Wii on Monday. It was $387 at Big W. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I also got Wii Play when I got a 2nd control but that game is terrible to be honest.

Red Steel was really an amazing game. Considering they built it on a Gamecube and then tried to overhaul the graphics and tack on wii controls, it turned out surprisingly good (good enough that a sequel is in the works). Everyone's main problem is that they try to play it like a run and gun FPS. It's not. It's a shoot out FPS ... you take cover and then shoot at the guys aiming at you. The level of difficulty is high, the weapons are awesome ... the story is pretty shallow and blah, but overall it was really a tremendously fun game to play once you got use to it. The amount of things that can be destroyed or blown up ... THAT was a big highlight. Fire fights got SO MUCH MORE intense.

60 Australian bucks is pretty damn high for any game in my opinion, though. But Red Steel is definitely a game you should check out some time ... just spend a few hours playing it and remember -- dont try to run and gun, and you'll like it, I think.
