Right off the bat, I havent beat it yet. I'm half way through but I've played it enough to get a good feel for it. Well, this is a weird game both to review and to experience. The controls are pretty good, they're accurate when you're using the gun and, mostly due to the Wii's controller, it's just really natural feeling, I dont really have to think about anything, I just move the wiimote and the cursor moves with it. Sword fights aren't 1:1, sadly, but the sword reacts quickly enough to make it extremely fun to do. In fact the controls are the only things that feel perfect in the game. The story's pretty cliche and pretty campy, which is good because the game would have more problems had the plot taken itself real seriously. The dialogue is goofy, laughably goofy in China you have a geeky voice screaming "I need support!" and, while trying to kill you, yelling "Murderer!" and the accents are TERRIBLE! over the top and hilarious to listen to. The graphics is where this game shines, for the most part, anyways. There is a LOT of detail, and how much destruction can go onscreen is insane. There has only been one moment of lag, and it wasnt too bad. Overall, buy it, it's better than what the reviews say and its fun on multiplayer, even if you cant play all swords (Which I am praying for for Red Steel 2)
