I don't know what all of you are talking about, but I beat the game and I never had any problems with it. The reason your screen keeps on doing 360s and stuff is because you don't have the sensor bar in the right place. Multiplayer can be played with 2, 3, or 4 players, and multiplayer is when you're gonna run into 360 problems no matter what. You just have to move the controller around to find the perfect sensing place. I must be really good at adjustments, because the controls for the game were like second nature to me right away. If you quit now, you're missing out. Play the whole game and write another review.

I read all the daunting terrible reviews and ignored them and bought the game myself.

Day 1 - pop it in, hate it, can't get into it, hate controls, want to return it
Day 2 and 3 - play hours nad hours of zelda, no red steel
Day 4 - go back to Red Steel, get into the controls, get used to them, starting to really enjoy teh game
Day 5 - more Red Steel, it only gets better as I progress, getting new guns and learning new sword moves
Day 6 - I can officialy say I love Red Steel and that everyone out there needs to get used to the controls and you'll love it, you HAVE to give it a chance, its a game that requires getting used to, but the work is worth the reward. I love this game and think everyone should pick it up for sure.

Awesome, don't listen to these people that gave it bad ratings

Ok, if you're too dumb to figure out the controls, that's your own problem, not the game's. This game is so much fun, me and friends have been enjoying this non-stop now that finals are wrapping up. It may take a little longer than average to adapt to the new controls, but it's a whole new system, a whole new way of gaming, and the controls are what adds to the fun level. Once you get the hang of it, it's beautiful. You have true control over your character unlike in other games. Excellent one-player game, and the multiplayer rocks too. It'd be nice if there were more multiplayer maps and maybe some AI bots, but it's still really fun. The 4 player multiplayer features a special mode that assigns a secret mission to every player (which is delivered via a soft voice through each individual's wii remote). SO much fun! Only you know your mission! If that isn't fun, you might be dead. I hope to see this mode used more frequently by other games. A BLAST! Try it out! And give it more of chance than some of these other reviewers. RED STEEL!!!!!

Freakin sweet!

This game is one of the best I have played. I got a wii for christmas and got this for my b-day on 12/31 and I play it more than any game I have, including call of duty 3, Wii sports, and madden 07. The gameplay is awesome and extremely fun. It also is filled with a cool variety of guns to use, fun gameplay with the swords, good settings that vary a lot, and a fairly good plot line. Red steel puts you in the life of an ruthless man who has to deal with the Yakuza to get back his fiance and the possibilities of fun are endless.

A Very Well-Crafted Game

Red Steel lives up to all of the hype - if you give it the chance to. When I first played the game, the controls were difficult and awkward. This was due to most of the actions being carried out by movements of the controllers, rather than by pressing buttons. After I got the hang of it, the game excelled. It's the best control scheme possible for a console first-person shooter, very much akin to using a keyboard and mouse. If you're a bad shot in the game, it's because you're a bad shot with real-time aiming, not because you can't point a finicky joystick in the right direction. The sword combat is amazing, mapping your actual movements much closer than Zelda. Again, it takes some getting used to, but this is due to the fact that Red Steel is breaking entirely new ground in terms of how to play a game of this type.

The voice acting is superb. The characters who have lived in America have a very realistic American accent. The Japanese security guards have a very thick accent, which is appropriate, due to spending most of their lives in Japan and only traveling to America at the start of the game. Sato, who is a very wealthy Japanese man with business connections in America, appropriately has a much more understandable English, but the Japanese influence is still clear in his speech patterns. The sound effects are amazing, especially considering how interactive the levels are. The sounds effects piped through the Wiimote are very realistic, when compared to the sound effects from Zelda.

The graphics are nothing to write home about, if you compare them to the hi-def Xbox 360 and PS3. However, if you let them stand as they are and play the game, you'll soon be sucked in. There is really very little to complain about, unless you insist on emphasizing that it's not on the bleeding edge of technology.

All in all, the game is very well-made and enjoyable, if you are a fan of first-person shooters.

How Much Fun is This

This game is pretty awesome. I really like the shooting and sword fighting. The only think that I didn't like is if you play to long you will get dizzy. Just play in shifts and you will be fine. Overall this game rocks. Hope they make a two.

Innovative is the key to fun.

Although the movie scenes in the game are the only shoddy part the game, there are many innovative characteristics this game includes: the remote is the crossheir on the screen and may be zoomed by moving the contrilling away from the player, and a semi-zoom is halfwayf between the player and the length of his or her arm. At any rate, the movements of the player dicatate what happens to Scott, the main character in Red Steel, and is certainly fun when the player may open doors and shoot a gun as if the player really were shooting a gun and opening doors. The speaker on the remote is exciting to hear when the player may reload the gun. Amazing.

I was frustated at first but after leaning how the controls work, I found the game to be very entertaining. Red Steel looks fantastic on my 50inch Plasma with component cables. It is a good story with exciting battles. It will take some time learning to aim and sword fight but the payoffs are huge. Those who don't like this game probably have not invested enough time learning the controls or are just not coordnated with the Wii mote. I have struggle through the learning process of playing with a mouse and keyboard, Dual analog sticks, and now the Wii mote. But it can be done to satisfaction is given enough time. I am 70% through the game now and am loving it. I will definately play it through again now that my skills with the Wii mote are much better. Give it a try but also give it some time as well. You will not regret it.

Is a good original game.

Original for the control scheme, is like a PC using the remote like a mouse and nunchuck like directional keyboard. I don't have problem with the controls, I like this game.
