Thumbs up to Red Steel

Bang bang...


The Official Nintendo Magazine (a European publication) recently got their hands on the very latest build of Red Steel, one of the most anticipated launch titles for the Wii. They seemed extremely impressed. Some of the major points:

  • The controls of the game felt vastly improved, thanks to software tweaks by Ubisoft and the final remote/sensor bar hardware from Nintendo.

  • The player is able to gesture toward defeated enemies to direct their movements.

  • The graphics have also undergone improvements of epic proportions. The excessive hyperbole involves "forgetting everything you've seen" and the visuals are compared to a prettier version of Resident Evil 4. Which is really damn pretty.

  • Apparently, the fire effects look really effin' good.

Red Steel might just be the bar to which all other first-person shooters are measured. Why, it might even start ... a revolution.
