Red Steel

Red Steel is a first person action game developed by programmers from Ubisoft Paris. The game was created as demonstration of capabilities of the Wii console.

The story focuses on adventures of a certain young man who gets entangled into really big trouble. His beloved woman was kidnapped and her father, the head of a Japanese mafia, murdered. The ones responsible for these crimes are leaders of a rivaling gang, who have been warring with the protagonist’s close ones for years. In order to find his fiancée, the hero leaves Los Angeles and travels to Tokyo. There, he is determined to find the girl and avenge her father’s death.

You take on your opponents using both ages-old combat techniques and firearms. Success depends on how skillfully you can use Wii’s gyroscopic controller. This allows you to transfer your motions into the game, either when you are swinging a katana, aiming at an enemy with a gun, or exploring locations in Red Steel. The key to success is concentration – to aid this the developers included a slow-motion ability for spectacular executions.

Fans of multiplayer can play together with friends in split screen mode.
