General Comments
I had Red Steel game for a week before I gave up and traded it in for Twilight Princess. I wanted to like it, because the ideas within it were interesting. The idea of using the Wii remote to control your sword fighting seems so logical! Unfortunately, the execution far from lives up to my hopes. The sword fights are dull and unresponsive, the graphics are OK to rubbish and the game feels rushed and cash-in.



Admittedly, this was a launch title, so the genre has a long way to go on the Wii. There is so much potential with this console. Wake me up when they release a Star Wars game.
