Australia, August 7, 2008 - As early Wii adopters, we all wanted to love Red Steel. C'mon now – it's true. It had the initial hallmarks of a classic title; an innovative control scheme coupled with striking graphics and – importantly for a Nintendo system – lashings of violence and an adult slant. Red Steel promised so much. Unfortunately, much of that promise dissolved after hands-on with the game proved the control scheme to be unrefined at best, and at worst, almost unplayable during hectic moments.
With MotionPlus compatibility confirmed recently for Red Steel 2, it's clear Ubisoft is taking note of player feedback from the first experience. Of course, with the game still not 'officially' announced outside of off-hand comments from Ubi execs, we have yet to see what direction the series is taking and whether the gameplay will indeed be taken in a more palatable direction.
