i was very public about my fanship for this game. i wasn't terribly annoyed by the cursor mysteriously moving up n on it's own at times, i knew how to conquer that.

the game wasn't too bad at all. i hope they tighten the sword play and add some bonus content to make it have a high replay value.

(holding the wii mote as a cell phone was cool, when it happened, like 3 times.) lol

The main thing I hope that improves is control and enemy design - the rest, level layout, art direction etc was pretty solid. Just hope they make remote less flaky.

I really enjoyed Red Steel, got it at launch. The Wii STILL lacks a wide range of FPSs, which is bloody surprising considering how well suited the Wiimote is for them. So I'll probably get this. I even enjoyed the swordplay in the original, so if they've spruced it up in this, even better. Smilie

I liked the first, the controls worked fairly well and the graphics weren't bad for a launch game. There were a few glitches, but overall a very solid game.

I think the artwork looks similar to the first, maybe the levels could be a bit brighter and better designed than the first, well, the best one was the one with the rabbits controlled by the mad man.

And the voice acting should be in japanese, with subtitles, it'll be alot better that was and we wont here, get that F***ing gaijin every 2 minutes.

For a second, I was shocked to see nin10do back! Smilie

But its a different dude.


Anyhow, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. I think most people felt there was a good game underneath, it just needed more development time. Hopefully they get it down right this time.

I`ll pre-order this game. I really loved the concept of the first game and the effects. Loved the mobile phone thing on wiimote. Wiimote rightly suited for this game to the core, graphics, sword game. Come on!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly my opinion. I actually liked the style from Steele 1 very much. it had a lot of it. Please deepen it and brush up the things jb mentioned and boost up presentation. I think then we have a great game at hand here... holding my thumbs for it.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
