I knew games could get annoying, i have been playing them all my life and love everything that has been on a nintendo console that I have ever played, except for Red Steel.
I was really enjoying the game until the swordfight bit on NIGHT OF THE KOMORIS, where not only is it the most stupidly impossible thing ever to do, not even involving skill, just luck, but you have to kill the turd again without a checkpoint to save your monumental progress.
This is not just hard, it is absolutely impossible and i personally think a huge design fault! The makers of the game have created an un-equal currency with the swordfights. The game is diffucult in places, but in a fun way, but the sword fights aren't even fun, you just get this sense of your heart dropping to your boots every time one comes on, and the remote is really unresponsive. Does anyone else find the wire connecting the nunchuk to the controller flicking up when you parry, and totally putting you off what your doing? And as for the slash action, it doesnt even do what your hand is doing, making the combos near impossible.
The game would be brilliant if they hadnt decided to give it a very very poor original twist which just totally DOES NOT WORK!
Also whats with the terrible voices on the cut-scenes which you cant skip at all, they go on for ages, and i just put the controller down and go and make a brew whilst they do their thing. Its really boring and long-winded when all the player wants is to get back into the action.
It is as if Ubisoft have decided to forcefeed the audience a massive helping of oriental culture with no regards for how it might totally ruin the gameplay, by shoving in the diabolical swordfights and the really boring, un-skipable, badly acted storyline cutscenes.
This game could have been the next Goldeneye, but instead it has fallen well and truly on its slow, unresponsive, fat arse!

Im sorry guys, I have been reflecting, and Red Steel was a crap game, because the reason you play a game is to have fun, and frankly when you cant get past a part of the game because of the limitations of the controls, not because of your lack of skills, then the game is not fun whatsoever.
Yea I might have said the game was good in other parts, and im sure some of you wont let me forget that i said that, but the game is nevertheless impossible and hence totally pointless. Its like saying "yeah this car is brilliant, it has electric windows, leather seats, air conditioning, it amazing, but hang on.... wheres the focking engine!!!". Turd analogies apart, im sure you can catch my drift?

*bleep* no dude, the game wasn't hard at all...I agree it was quite difficult to use the keys n shit at times, but it wasn't hard at all...
The last level is difficult, but still playable...But *bleep* it everyone has his style, r what kinda games he likes...Egg maybe this game just aint what u like..I bet u play sum games that i hate r that r really hard to me n easy for u...But who the *bleep* cares, who wants to discuss a game with someone that doesn't like it...
So yh that's it i guess..

Lol this thread started at may 30th 2007 n now it's july 2009...Lol quite long i guess...More that 2 years..But yh no one nearly comes on these forums anymore..

So Peaz everyone x

(N btw i guess sum posts r removes from this thread, coz i cant find back eggywhiples rhyme n sum of my posts...Lol guess the moderator of this forum got fed up with this thread xD )

How is the game impossible!? It was one of the easiest games I've ever played. Other than like the last 3 sword fights.
