There's not much to like here, between the game's bland graphics, and shoddy controls. What we have here is a typical sub par shooter only made interesting by the use of the new Wii Controller, which isn't really that new in itself as it just feels like a light gun game for the most part.

The game does have a cool look/style to it (which may attract you), but I'd definitely suggest you wait for another shooter to come out, or have a game of Wii Sports tennis...again.

You may bring up the sword fighting as its one unique feature, unfortunately I have to report that it is for the most part a broken feature which doesn't play out well. With that said, I'd love to see a sequel of this with a bit more refinement as I generally liked the ideas behind it.

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