Red Steel

Aquired Taste, but takes a while to appreciate!

User Rating: 8.2 | Red Steel WII

I learned to get pretty good at the aiming and swordfighting. However, I think the problem with the dev team is that the same happened, and the forgot that the controls for aiming are insanely difficult and take a while to master. There's also a glitch where if you aim too far left the aim reverts back to the lower right corner of the screen. However, once you learn how to use the controls effeciently, you can pretty much pwn anyone you see (I only use pwn to describe a select few games).
I did have a little problem personally with the faces of people being amorphous as you look at them, especially on a 1080p tv with no component cables. The soundtrack is third only to Ace Combat and Halo, and I download it THE SECOND I heard about it on iTunes. I recommend if you don't even like the game at all, get the soundtrack, no matter what.

  Red Steel is worthy FPS for the Wii. However it's not without its kinks, which are pretty nasty flaws.

  The ideas are there but the execution and polish aren't. At best Red Steel is a rental, if only for curiosity's sake.
