Red Steel 2 Goes Wild West?

5 Comments

red-steel-2

Red Steel 2 will be the cover story of the June issue of Nintendo Power, it will reveal all the details on the next installment of the Red Steel series. The cover artwork and table of contents, available online, only reveal that the game will take full advantage of the Wii MotionPlus and that the style of the game has taken a rather unexpected turn towards the… old west?

If the only known artwork, seen above, is any indication of the direction of the game we might be looking forward to a western or western-steampunk-ish game. This can only mean one thing: goodbye to the awesome Jpop songs of the first game, one, if not the only, remarkable thing about Red Steel. Lets just hope the MotionPlus can deliver on the promise of awesome sword fighting that the original fell short of achieving.

Anyone up for some machete VS katana swordfights?

    A samurai western would be a welcome fresh setting. It was already used in a few other games, but not enough. Now, lets hope Ubi Soft Paris will get it all right this time. I’ve never played Red Steel, but judging from the reviews it was not good.

      one can’t really be too demanding when it comes to First Gen games on a console…

      it was ambitious though.. not a total failure.. but it didn’t deliver the next best thing since the invention of the Wiil

      still cant wait to see what the sequel can offer now that the 1st Gen game inadequacies are practically done with
