Shoot 'em up with a few twists courtesy of WII technology!

Great game but could be even better.

I really like the aspect of the otherwise typical search and destroy adventure game that allows you to point at the screen in the direction you wish to go or look/view. That's unique among games and controllers, courtesy of the unusual WII technology. But it could be even better if it allowed you to attack your enemies, grab items, move them and use them by using those same new abilities unique to WII. In other words, why not allow some form of hand-to-hand combat rather than just shooting the weapons? There may actually be a way to do that I haven't yet figured out, but I don't believe so.

Overall an above average game, perhaps a three and a half star.

Arm injuring fun! I played until my arms hurt... And I still want more.

A little clumsy at first, however, after 30 minutes I began to move as if I was in the game. Great game, Great concept for interaction. I see room for refinement of the sensitivity of the Wii remote and nunchuck, in a long series of follow up to this great game.

Awesome game..if you can get your Wii remote to function.

The Wii. It's an awesome console. Instead of concentrating on the latest and greatest in graphics and technicality, Nintendo's Wii was and is rather (attempting to) boast a "revolutionary" new controller and gameplay style, which is a refreshing idea itself. The controller design is a good idea, as it's more "realistic" than the PS3's and 360's, seeing as how it takes advantage of the Wii's motion sensor. Any movement you make (in most games, like "Red Steel" and "Wii Sports"), the same happens on screen.

I think out of all of the Wii games that I've played so far, "Red Steel" is the most entertaining, and it has a lot of promise..but it gives off the worst impression of the Wii remote. Ever. If you guessed that I'd be complaining about this game's controls, well, you're right. Oh, and by the way, YES, I DO HAVE THE SENSOR BAR in the appropriate place (in front of the TV, and it's aimed at where I sit to play games and watch television). Quite frankly, the controls are way too damn sensitive. Maybe it's the remote I use to play with (although I have it calibrated, and it works fine, otherwise, e.g. Super Mario Galaxy, Battalion Wars 2, Wii Sports, etc.), but every time I attempt to play this game, I have to put it on the lowest sensitivity possible, otherwise, I find myself spinning around in circles, and getting shot at. The controls take time to master, I suppose, but they can "get stuck", and can be very frustrating for a gamer, or heck, anyone, for that matter. Not to mention that when the controls get stuck in "turn left" or "turn right" mode, it can be almost impossible to get back to controlling "normally".

=(

I hope this sensitivity problem is under more control, or better yet, FIXED in "Red Steel 2", which is coming out in 2008.

Better luck next time, Nintendo and Ubisoft.

Great Fun for everyone

This was a great launch title attempt for the Wii. It showed the capabilities of the motion sensor controls. The game really does respond to your hand motion, in terms of the aiming of the controller and the swinging of the sword. Even the throwing the grenade is pretty cool. That being said, I think the game was not tested before it was released. There are several times where I try to turn left and the game starts spinning. Kind of annoying I think. The graphics are not good, not at all. I understand that the Wii creates the games for the playability and the fun of motion control, but the view stinks. It feels like you are looking through some sort of concave like lens, hard to see.

Video's could have greatly improved the story line, instead they do still motion, sort of comic book style. Other things drive you crazy as well. It was a great idea, I hope other companies explore the capabilities of the Wii like this game did, but polish it up a bit.

Great game - Muy buen juego

Hi. Do you like fast first person shooters games, dynamic and with the possibility of use very different types of weapons ? Then this game is for you. Overall it's ok, it can be perfected but it going to give you a good time. Recommended.

If you are a fan of a shooter game, you should think about getting this ame. There is alot of good action. You are a body gaurd and your client and girlfriend gets kidnaped and basicly you are going around doing missions for Japanese gang leaders building up your respect and trying to save your girlfriend, by shooting everybody in sight. Good luck Scott-san!

This Game Is A Great First Person Shooter!

First of all I want to say that this was the first game I got for the wii back when wii first came out and I don't know why some of you guys complain about the controls. It only took me 3 days until I was already a real samurai. This game actually has better graphics than most wii games that came out at that time. It has controls that are really fun and new. I also love the AI. It's very good and when one of your enemies is in your way just blow up a barrel and watch them fly. I think the story is simple but its done very well. I hope they even make a movie of it some day. It would be awesome. Since this game is so good all I know is the second one will be amazing!

I bought this game a little while back even before I had a Wii. It seemed like the only shooter that was good for the Wii other than Call of Duty 3. The game itself was really fun the first time I played it. After awhile, though, it starts to slow down. The gun controls were very good, especially when using pistols and other small weapons. The sword fighting is another story. At first it is pretty fun, but you soon begin to dread this "minigame". They try to make it interesting with "Respect Points", but you can't even use these points to buy anything. In the end, this is a respectable game and will help people grasp the shooting controls of the Wii and have a little fun in between.

P.S. I personally would suggest The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or Call of Duty 3 over this game, but that's just me.

Good game. Underrated in reviews

This is a great game but falls short overall. The only thing is that you have to be very subtle with the shooting parts and very obvious with the sword parts. The game is lengthy (with about 45 minutes a level and 8 or 9 levels) and the story is good. The graphics are pretty good too but in some parts are look as bad as PS2. But the graphics aren't the important part because it's using the remote to shoot that's fun. If you are subtle with it you can make headshots and later you learn how to disarm them by shooting their guns off them.

If you got a Wii and want a good time waster and decent FPS get this game.
