What Made Red Steel 2 Work
Red Steel 2 is the one game that made the Wii MotionPlus worth owning. Sword strikes map to the angle of your arm, so a horizontal slash and a diagonal one are different attacks, and it pairs that with a gun for crowd control. Cel-shaded, stylish, and effectively a first-person character action game.
