The game begins as an unnamed Hero, the last member of the Kusagari Clan, is being dragged across the desert, tied to the back of a motorcycle. He manages to break free, but Payne, the leader of the Jackals - a vast gang of thugs, murderers and thieves - steals the Hero's katana. While running from the Jackals, the Hero rescues his old swordsmaster Jian who was to soon be executed by the Jackals. After the rescue, Jian allows the Hero to borrow his sword until the Hero can recover his own from Payne.

Red Steel 2 throws you into a wild west metropolis where you wield both a katana and a six-shooter. The unique blend of first-person shooting and swordplay is enhanced by the Wii MotionPlus accessory, making combat feel intuitive and satisfying. While the story is forgettable and the environments can be repetitive, the core gameplay loop of mastering swordsmanship and gunslinging is a blast, especially with a friend in co-op mode.
A GUN-WIELDING SAMURAI?? A KATANA-WIELDING GUNSLINGER?? MAN WTF WAS THIS GAME

Like you would actually slice and shoot with the goddamn wii remote this shit was INSANE 9 year old me could not believe my eyes. This is literally a kid's dream, mashing together two historical troupes any little boy loves, with absolutely nO disregard for historical accuracy or even pragamatism in terms of combat. This is literally a kid's dream. I had so much fun with this, truly a unique piece.
