While the story may be quite thin, is to me personally but not as important. A militant clan coat of several small towns, bringing the clan of the protagonists to the route, which points out to meditate revenge. Not very original, but it was okay. In most reviews also the lack of enemy variety is criticized. Again, I am relatively modest and can not really understand exactly the point; other first-person shooters are bursting because not just in front of ingenuity. If one then wants to find a fly in the ointment, then you will also find one. What I now personally still criticize is the lack of multiplayer or online mode. The game is limited only to the campaign, which consists of 7 chapters. I have now played about 8 hours and am right in the 5th chapter. As similar to the fullest extent of the chapter, then you get well on a playing time of 10 to 12 hours, which seems to be common for games in this genre so currently.
Graphics and sound are just great. Although the cel-shaded look is not be for everyone and in this style also much is not shown as detailed, game speed and animations are simply top. There is absolutely no stuttering, everything runs as smooth as silk. The rocking Western soundtrack also contributes to a fantastic atmosphere.
The control system was implemented perfectly. We must now all praise to read in numerous magazine reviews were not 100pro 1: expect 1 control. Nevertheless, it is amazingly good and raises real swordfight Feeling; stay with wild fidgeting is not really on and sitting in armchair is not then !. Thanks WM + blows and blows are now transposed as you wish for the flat and the mach crazy fun!
Conclusion: It is for me definitely to the Top10 - Wii Games. If now a multiplayer / Onlinmudus would thereby, the game world would be even more complex and mystery-heavy, then Red Steel 2 would the game par excellence. But that Ubisoft has probably saved for a hopefully the 3rd part. This is followed by the developers of Star Wars could - Games times take an example !!!
