I'm an older Wii owner with a passion for any game horror related. Unfortunately horror is hard to come by on the Wii, so I've been looking into other avenues. I was very hesitant in buying the Wii motion plus as I'm not interested in the few titles that they have released. Then Red Steel 2 comes out and I caved. Upon playing the 1st chapter I was pretty disappointed that I invested the money in this and the motion plus. I read a couple of reviews which were positive, but I felt very mislead. What was this Asian Western game? Actually I walked away and went several days before giving it another try...and then...I fell head over heels! The glowing reviews are correct, it is a blast. Once I got past the basics I began enjoying it. Personally the moves that your character learns as the game progresses make the game for me. As others have mentioned you can truly work up a sweat. Quite often I found/find myself moving about the room when in battle. I can't think of another Wii game where I've been so absorbed where that has been the case. When I 1st started I noticed that some moves were not being picked up by the sensor bar/ motion plus, but my batteries were running low. As soon as I replaced them this was corrected. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the remote in the options menu (Forgiving, normal, precise, and custom) which I very much appreciate. The motion controls remind me why the Wii can be such a blast. There are some great upgrades throughout the game that you.
