Yatza!

He's the best front man since David Lee Roth.

Just ordered this from Amazon. It'll be waiting for me when I get back from Boston.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #453 on:** March 22, 2010, 05:43:27 PM »

Another one down! I hope it sells well.

If you own Wii Sports Resort, you owe it to yourself to own this game.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #454 on:** March 22, 2010, 05:46:20 PM »

I havn't pre ordered. But I am getting this game with out a doubt. I have really high expectations. Very surprised no reviews came out yet.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #455 on:** March 22, 2010, 05:53:16 PM »

I have Wii Sports Resort but at the moment I can't get this at launch. I am getting this though.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #456 on:** March 22, 2010, 05:57:03 PM »

ONM (Official Nintendo Magazine) is reported to give it a 93% http://boards.ign.com/nintendo_wii_lobby/b8270/190442077/r190454936/

Must be an embargo on the middling reviews.

That looks so good. Now I wanna go cancel my pre-order and pick it up instore on day 1.
Anybody pre-order this through Gamestop for the codes to the extra swords?
we can swap codes since you get extra guns through Amazon.

vudu · « **Reply #461 on:** March 22, 2010, 09:20:37 PM »

Can the codes really only be used once, or is it just an unlock code that'll appear on GameFAQS tomorrow?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #462 on:** March 22, 2010, 09:22:15 PM »

I have no idea. This will be my first game with a promotional gimmick of this type.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #463 on:** March 22, 2010, 09:39:20 PM »

The conduit codes were universal, and I've heard the Raving Rabids promo codes were the same. So probably on Gamefaqs tomorrow.

Review copy has been in my hands for a few days. It's really really good.

Still working my way through it, but unless it totally shits the bed in the last part, this is a fantastic game.

The combat is kick ass, and they keep on throwing small wrenches into it. It's not too complicated, and outrageously intuitive. It looks awesome, though there's some annoying elevator-esque load sequences.

It's also kind of an open world game, which I didn't expect. However, it's very linear.

But that's all you guys get for now until my review...or impressions if the review looks like it'll take a little longer.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #465 on:** March 22, 2010, 09:43:05 PM »

oooooooooh even Neal likes it. Proof everyone should own this game. Trade in your copy of Uncharted and hop on the awesome train!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #466 on:** March 23, 2010, 02:31:03 PM »

I think this comes out today. Don't let the news about the 3DS prevent you from getting this game.

MegaByte · « **Reply #467 on:** March 23, 2010, 02:39:10 PM »

I just hope it plays well for people who actually know how to handle a sword.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #468 on:** March 23, 2010, 02:43:27 PM »

I don't think it will.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #469 on:** March 23, 2010, 02:45:21 PM »

Well I have some fencing experience so I might shed some light on how it handles.

I'll be the judge of that!

Woo hoo! that trailer was awesome and you guys are really hyping me up! I really don't feeling like running to gamestop to pre-order, but man I want those in-game weapons. Man I feel like im gearing up for a Nintendo release!

IGN gave it an 8.6

It handles like a Snickers bar.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #472 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:19:54 PM »

I'm not sure what the snickers bar means, but IGNs review was super positive. their closing comments.

Red Steel 2 is absolutely an "A product." It's clear that the development team wanted to right the wrongs of the original game and produced an all new design with controls that actually work. There are still some issues, both in game balance as well as wishy-washy motion sensing control, but the awesome style and energetic gameplay are enough to make this one of the top titles on Wii.

Chris Kohler (Wired.com) review 7/10
Ray Barnholt (1up.com) review C+

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #474 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:29:06 PM »

Given this, Zelda's surely 8.3/"B" material now.

No wonder Nintendo's going Portable 3D. Motion Plus is a sinking ship and they know it. No more Wii2, no WiiHD, no more home consoles.
