Not a bit.

Okay, that's a BIT of a lie. See, the Wiimote seems to chew through batteries like crazy when playing that game, for whatever reason.

But Red Steel, dispite having crappy graphics and a game system that needs work, is fun. Fun enough to make the other stuff not matter. And if you have 3 friends willing to play, too (for a 4-player game) then the 4-player multiplayer mode - basically contract killing - is a blast. I'd recommend it. Just don't get it for single-player alone.

I have Red Steel, and while I do play every once and awhile, it's my least favorite game by far. The controls are fine (great actually, I love throwing grenades!) and graphically I'm not disappointed, but all the little bugs ruin the game for me. It takes ridiculously long amounts of time to load (and not just levels, checkpoints!) and you can't skip cutscenes. So if you die, and there was a 5 minute cutscene at the beginning of the checkpoint/level...guess what? You get to watch it again and again and again! Granted, once you master the controls, you don't die as often anymore and therefore don't have to watch the long-winded, poorly-voiced-over cutscenes, but still it's annoying enough in combination with other things to keep me from playing much unless a friend's around.

its an ok game i guess... not worth buying for sure.  i bought it and traded it in along with rayman raving rabbids 2day.  rayman was an ok game though, i just dont see myself playing it again.  Ill probably put the money down on halo 3 or super mario galaxy or somthing. whatever good game comes out first... maybe SSBB even

Personally i love it. It takes a while to get used to the controls but after you'll be popping headshots every 2 secs. The main game isn't that long but its fun while it lasts!

I dont regret it. It is a pretty good game. Not as bad as gamespot says. It is a decent length and it is tons of fun. Graphics are pretty good and so are the controls.

Its a good game, quite a solid FPS, the control adds a certain ammount of intrigue to the title, I am primarily a FPS/PC addict so my bar is quite high, if it had appeared on PC then I guess I would have been dissapointed but for the Wii it is acceptable.

This said I am overall very dissapointed with the Wii line up, I have owned, Wii Sports, Wii PLay, Red Steel, Warioware, Ravin Rabbids, Monkey Ball & Excite Truck.. Wii sports is awsome but shallow, still top of the list, Wii play is OK cos its free, otherwsie it is rubbish, Monkey ball was dire! absolute rubbish, Rabbids was average at best, Warioware was gimiky for 2 weeks then forget about it, Excite truck is very good, and Red Steel is Average FPS which reads good FPS on Wii...

Not for a second this was my first game for the wii, and i loved it and still love it, the controls work way better than most people seem to think and the gameplay is a hell of alot of fun. Graphically it is one of the best on the Wii at the moment too.

I purchased Red Steel when it was on Sale one day for $25. I believe its not worth spending fifty bucks, but 25...yeah. Its not the best game, too fluid off motion and the controls take a while. Not only that, but the multiplayer is just plain awkward. It is worth buying. Not for $50 of course.
