Is Red Steel any good?

[Bigp]

For those of you who have it, are you enjoying it? Reviews are very mixed, and Im on the fence about getting this one.

 

[Doll Slaughter]

i had it preordered, but traded at the store for excite truck.

 

[crawil_bunny!!]

Yea, I played excite truck at the kiosk. Seemed fun, but nothing too deep.

 

[SheLuvsDemarcus]

DONT GET IT!! I'm gonna try to return it tomorrow its so fucking impossible to aim your gun and even if you were able too easily it would get old, the swordfighting is sweet though i have to admit

 

[ahanda korama]

Yea, from what I hear, its a generic shooter, but with odd controls.

 

[IpwnNubs4444]

its the troof

 

[talkitive_kiwi]

Any other thoughts?

 

[est :D]

I got Red Steel because the TRU didnt have any trauma center. havent taken it out of the package yet, Im waiting to see what others think and then maybe I'll exchage it

 

[l4p4cx1]

Bought it but havent taken it out of the package yet. Kinda not sure what i wanna do with it.

 

[jkeller4000]

its overhyped trash

 

[Pigeon-carcass hairpiece]

yeah, it sucks

i bought it and played it before anything and was so fucking pissed thinking the wii sucked shit

but then i put in wiisports and zelda and was like "whew".

i returned redsteel, they let me even with open box because i complained about how much shit it sucked.

 

[facep1ant]

i want to open it up and play it, but its getting no love from anyone..

kinda sucks, since it looked so good at E3

 

[bon apetite]

Cmon, try it. Don't buy into the hype. It cant be THAT bad.

 

[carverbrittanys]

the hype?

this game had so much positive hype before release, people saying that you will never go back to mouse and keyboard for an FPS, etc

the controls are horrid, its like playing with oven mitts and a trackball

 

[L.Mac]

Sorry, hype probably wasn't the best word. I mean the flak its been getting since E3.

 

[Dylan Calvert]

Gamespot gave it a 5.5 rating, so I'm assuming it sucks.

 

[Enigma Reborn]

They also gave Zelda an 8.8, which is pretty terrible considering all the other reviews its gotten.

 

[ctk]

i opened it up.. said fuck it!!!!!!!

i like it so far..maybe cause i'm a wii nerd and all...but it feels fine to me.. i about the other OTrs..

i love the sword fight..

 

[crocop49]

I am going to try and return Red Steel tomorrow at Gamecrazy where I purchased it because really it was not at all what I was expecting. The controls are nothing like other Wii FPS (even the Rayman FPS is better than Red Steels, also Call of Duty 2 has very nice controls).

I do have to say one thing, after playing Red Steel and CoD 2 for about 6 hours...I will never go back to a controller again (I will always go back to a mouse and keyboard), because the controller is so limited after a few house I could take pop shots at shit so far away...I can't imagine how good I could be in a few months of really getting to know those FPSs
