Caterkiller this is Pro we are talking about he likes to joke around but I to try to interpret what Pro said I think he means that the controls are satisfying. One of the committals for Snickers said that "Snickers always satisfies"

Anyway I look forward what you think of the game Caterkiller from a sword enthusiast perspective.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #476 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:42:18 PM »

so the rest of us aren't enthusiasts?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #477 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:46:14 PM »

Maybe I used the wrong word and meant people who used a sword before and can compare between the sword fighting in real life and this game.

If there are people on here that has used a sword in real life other than myself and Caterkiller than I wasn't aware.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #478 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:55:04 PM »

But have you used a sword in a life or death situation?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #479 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:06:10 PM »

I guess I haven't used a sword in a life or death situation. So there may not be much weight to my experence as a fencer.:/

ShyGuy · « **Reply #480 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:12:42 PM »

have you built a fence in a life or death situation?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #481 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:19:28 PM »

I know I havn't and hope I never have to. Hahahaha.

Snickers I get it!

Wow I can't believe IGN gives it 8.6 and other places give it less. If IGN likes it it must be good right? honestly I'm not worried at all, I have complete confidence in this game.

Yes there was a hurricane going on and I managed to finish it during the hurricane.

All joking aside I am pretty happy with the review scores.

I brought up the sword thing since being familiar with katanas, I was disappointed with the control when I played the demo last E3 since the sword didn't do exactly what you'd expect. They've had a while to improve controls, but recent interviews regarding how they designed the controls leave me worried -- it still seems like glorified gestures.

Ray Barnholt under scored it.

Totillo at Kotaku seems to really like it http://kotaku.com/5500030/red-steel-2-review-if-only-2006-was-this-good

It's not 1-to-1, but, at least to me, it doesn't have to be. My logic is: If I'm supposed to be a bad-ass swordsman, how the **** could I use 1-to-1 controls? I'm not a bad-ass swordsman in the least. I freaking love the controls in this game, even if they could be labeled as glorified gestures. I still have to swing in every direction while playing, and not just pull a Racquet Sports and swing the same way for a forehand or backhand and get the same results.

While I'm not knowledgeable about technology, as far as my experience goes with Wii, they couldn't get the control they got with MotionPlus out of a regular Wii Remote. It's not tacked on (Yo Rage of the Gladiator! What's up?); the game works because of MotionPlus.

Also, my review's waiting for editing. If you can't tell, it's going to be outrageously positive. I love this game.

True story: I'm actually worried that the same thing is going to happen again when I slightly regret my accolades.

However, every time I read my MadWorld review, I still agree with it (and I read it while writing my Red Steel 2 review, so it's fresh on my mind). I still think it's worthy of a 9.0, and I still think it's a pretty awesome game. Would I play it again? Maybe, maybe not.

Still, it's a 9.0 game the first time through to me.

I have it in my hands! I like the fact the case is NOT one of the crappy "green" cases with hole in the front and back.

Protip: Fred Meyer has it on a 10% discount

I got an e-mail from Amazon saying it shipped. It should be here Thursday. I will, however, be 30,000 feet in the air over somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsburgh when it arrives.

Anyone else have this yet? If not, buy it. NAO

What Shy Guy said.

If you need more convincing, my review will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.

You should get another credit card that appreciates you for the spender that you are and supports you through each and every purchase decision that you wish to make.

Get a boyfriend who likes to buy you stuff. That's what I'm still hoping to find.

My wallet says true dat...but I'm glad my girl appreciates it.

She even offers to pay sometimes. We actually hunt the stores about once a week now to try and find me a copy of Wii Fit Plus. We went today and got a DS Lite and New Mario Brothers for her little sister's B-Day.
