Gamescom 2009 latest Red Steel 2 Walkthrough

just a quick update :-

IGN review - 8.6
Gametrailers review - 8.6


overall impressions from reviews

Pros:
- good graphics/presentation style/soundtrack
- good gun/swordplay gameplay action
- ability/item upgrades keeps game fresh
- smooth 60fps framerate

Cons:
- doors in between sections of a level (ala. Metroid Prime) that mask some loading time
- short on other gameplay elements outside of the battle action
- short on replay value (other than the challenge modes per level)

At least this time, they got it right.

as one review sums it up ... "the 2006 Wii promise delivered !"

i hope they can remake the first one with this engine

i kind of like the gaijin bashing stuff in it..only thing is, i got tired of the controls.

motion plus is compulsory?

how muchi now is motion plus? or maybe i just wait till MOVE comes out and play bushido blade (if they ever make it)

last i checked it was RM80++

dunno la now..maybe lower maybe higher..due to this game

RM85.

kyo bringing this bundle with motion plus or not ?

Was just talking to my suppliers. They said they will bring it in.

hope by june the price will drop

berapa utk game ini kyo?

I think with M+, 215. Not bad lah, u can buy M+ at RM 35.

woo naisss..kena cek bajet dulu

this month sudah byk pergi kat PS3...wanna masuk new house some more T_T

Rumah first.

Wii, later abit pun takper.

itu offer with M+ valid sampai bila?

Tak sure. But still waiting for the title to be shipped pun. Sadly, Malaysia lambat skit. aih...

You can consider Nyko Wand with built in M+. Regarding Red Steel 2, the Sword fight is still not 1:1 to your remote. I'm still dreaming for star wars light saber 1:1 duels like Wii Resort sword fight.

There was an interview for this matter. The game makers claimed that if the game is really controlled 1:1, you won't be able to play it due to lack of real-life swordfight skills. TL;DR, you need to be an excellent swordsman to play this game had it been 1:1.

I wouldn't be wanting 1:1 lightsaber duel if I were you.

lol, yeah...i read about the 1:1 swordfighting too...only swordmasters could handle this game and the sword fighting academy would use this game as training for their pupils...lol

anyway, it's a pretty cool game though...i wonder where's fragile in the market...XD

Still, if you want to see the true work of 1:1, go into the sword upgrade shop, look at an upgrade, and press A when you point at the sword. You'll be brought to a screen where you can preview the sword, and move it in accords to the movement of Wiimote. True 1:1 lies there.

well u will never get true 1:1 simply because there is no feedback. for example in real life if u swing and he blocks your swing will be interrupted by the block, and there is no way the wii mote can do that. not even sony move/ms natal can simulate that.

Added on March 31, 2010, 4:25 ambtw, saw this game in retail shop just 2 days after its release. tempted to buy but no budget yet. but notice the ones i see r all bundled with wii motion plus. i am more interested in the game only minus wm+

U sell la the motion plus...the price of the game including the m+ easily give u profit

actually the actual reason is no budget la. i promise i buy 1 game a month but this month i blew it by buying 2 games. so next time i can buy is bulan may. i got a family to feed too u know. life is just not a bed of video games u know.

haha i know..that's why i'm still not buying it...

got many things involving money this month n the next T_T

Well, they could dumb down the AI a bit. Even the game itself give enough time for you to think before blocking vertically or horizontally. In fact Wii Resort swordfighting is quite good. Doesn't have to be sword master to complete all ten levels. Just keep retrain and sharpen your skill.

may i know where u saw this game?very hard to find this game even from PA

He's at filipina. haha.

yes in philippines. in malaysia, people just download from internet. malaysia boleh. people say ph is a poorer country than malaysia, that is because we have oil, take away the oil, we will be equal to some countries in africa.

Perhaps you never understood what I really meant.

1:1 swordfighting is only for real life swordfighters, period.

You could dumb down the AI, but then, it's still going to be difficult, you have to swing as hard as you can, time your slashes, etc.. As what that other person said, if it's truly 1:1, dojos would use this game to train their disciples. Go figure, no?

E.g; For a backstab, you would really have to imitate that backstab move, which is quite hard to time.

WSR swordfighting is easy because what you have to do is only swing the Wiimote around.

i dono about u guys, but WSR sword fighting u can just flick the wii mote to produce d same result. no? i seem to play better that way. and especially the speed challenge. just flick away. a wrist muscle twitch is faster then a arm muscle twitch.

go sell your wii and get a ps3 pls. then you wont have wrist twitch instead finger twitch

u a wii fanboy or something? y do i want to that just because of one tinnie minnie comment

i admit i am wii fanboy

pls join my force - NDF[Nintendo Defend Force]
if you got interest pls send me your info for registering, thx

why dun u ask for his cc number instead ?

call me what ever you want. makes no difference.
tinnie minnie comments are still comments.
my comment is a tinnie minnie comment to your tinnie minnie comment.

welcome to the real world.

thanks for the red pill, neo

since u're new here, i just want to tell u ramz is the biggest wii fanboy around here

btw kyo,

any chance u bringing this in? i think i sudah ada budget

funny... how some ppl never come here... then suddenly pops out no where, and make comments like they own this place.

anyway... is this a game worth investing?

I still got a few sealed games.

and really really broke!

sealed game?
sell cheap cheap to me and u can go vgl

haha penman..i'm not going to VGL..that's why got budget for games

what are those sealed games u got...maybe i'll be interested

Not in yet.

actually my daugher is d biggest wii fangirl. which makes me a fan my economic definition, coz i fork out the money for her games! but i think nintendo is genius. my childhood wasn't nintendo, but for my daughter it is, and she will grow up to be a nintendo fanlady.

SLOWPOKE!!!

I wanna get lanun version naw if anybody ask..it's ur fault

thx to stupid censorship by our jiran

i dunno why GOW3 can pass so fast but RS2 cant?

forums are owned by the public, don't blame me! XP

u mean there where my tax money goes to?

if anyone who's playing this game and find the default controls feels not up to your liking please note that the you can customize options while IN-GAME using the Options menu when you pause the game !


the Options menu BEFORE you start/load a game only has no game control settings (eg. Subtitles ON/OFF)

Phew After the long wait,it is finally here~

RM200 for Wii Red Steel 2 Bundle (w/ Wiimotion Plus)



While stock last

bro... what is your rating for this?

why u always can so fast get your hands on all the new games one?

i have only played past the 1st big boss but i am liking it so far. at least a 8.5/10 with all things considered ... (been bz with Pokemon SSilver)

i mainly give high points to the action gameplay (and yes there are timed events segments too like RE4 ... that was very well done). there are weapon upgrades and hidden moves to unlock. the combo moves are satisfying but it may take practice (and a cool head) to execute them well when in the heat of battle. i absolutely love the shooting !

graphics and effects are very good too. decent soundtrack.

P/S: i think many ppl will "complain" that the default sword swinging as requiring too much effort/energy. yes, at the default setting u'd hv to swing back and slash with force to execute a powerful slash ! you can change this to something less intensive in the in-game pause menu ...



as for getting games fast, that you'll have to thank ppl like stevechan360, play-asia.com, friends/acquaintances in various parts of the world
i am avid Nintendo fan so i do my best to get my hands on items i want *haha*

@yangkuo: as usual... thanks for your brief yet detailed-enuf review!

I think I'll get MH3 1st though... no $$$$$$

great, then we can possibly join for some online group hunting later ... after some offline practice

the mh3 bundle is currently anticipated to arrive on 27th *fingers crossed*

Just bought my Wii, and immediately play this game.
Not bad, quite addicted to the slashing & shooting but a bit tiring!
Only thing is sometime the loading time for door opening are too long.
And got one action screen on the truck, it was lag at first time. after that no more lag.
Need to practice more tonight after work!!!
