Video Tour – Red Steel 2 (Overview)

NOTE: I apologize for the tardiness of our Red Steel 2 coverage. It was all recorded in advance, but I decided it needed to be tossed out and re-filmed as it lacked a few details.

It’s finally arrived on Wii and we’ve got one of the most in depth looks at Red Steel 2 just for you! The game gets you super hyped and involved thanks to the accuracy of Wii Motion Plus. It’s up to you to take down seemingly endless amounts of baddies and regain control of the town of Caldera. Sword slashing, Gun shooting and over the top level design combined with an intense soundtrack make for a truly polished experience. Jump in and join me as we take a 15 minute Video Tour of one of the greatest games to grace the Wii!

  1. It’s a 15 minute long Video Tour, so it may take a bit to load up. Try LQ if you’re in a hurry.

      In a hurry checking WiiFolder ? NEVER.
      Gotta take time for that :P


  2. Wow I had my doubts about this game cause I wasn’t crazy about the first one but looking at this walk through it looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the nice overview!


  3. Wow, after playing the first one, I expected different from this game. You get to use the sword freely in this game, unlike the first. The only thing that makes me curious is that there is only 4 guns unlike the original which had over 15.


  4. Very nice tour! I bought the game yesterday after looking forward to it since I beat RedSteel 1. But I have to say that I had to get used to the controls first. The camara turned a lot when I performed my first sword attack. And the level structur isn’t that strong. Graphics are very nice though. Looking at your video makes me wanne go back and continiue playing


  5. hey josh who makes ur animations in the beginning of ur videos also wat prgram do they or u use


  6. Cool intro! Is it permanent, or for Red Steel 2 coverage only??

    LoL, I’m disappointed that you actually DIED!


    1. I died just to show you all what the game over screen looks like. ;)

      And this intro is for our RS2 coverage only, but there is a new WF intro that you’ll see soon.


      1. Right, sure! ;) *says sarcastically*

        Well either way it’s an epic intro. :) Thanks for updating!


      2. Riighht like you were showing us the game over screen!


  7. So you HAVE to be right-handed?


    1. josh said there were lots of in game control options so you could probably change what hand you use for sword strokes


  8. Nice im so buying this game CAN’T WAIT =]

  16. verry nice game josh very nice veryyy cool graphics and wepons


  17. Wow… that looks fantastically fun. And it seems to be as fun to watch the game action as it is to watch Josh playing the game. Did you beat the game yet?


    1. Yup I’ve beaten the game twice. Took me about 15 hours my first time. Playing on Ninja Mode now.


  18. You guys could do the same level and see whose better for the fold on RS2!


  19. Sigh, really hate this new video player.
    Really discourages me to watch because of how lame it is.

    But alas, good tour Josh.
    I can see why you would want to re-record it.
    You touched on a lot of the things people complained about ;-)


  20. i have to have it!


  21. Really nice overall look Josh. I finally found out how to watch WiiFolder videos! Oh and did you hear? Pikmin 3 is coming!!


  22. Oops, I typed in my name wrong!


  23. My last comment didn’t show so I’ll say it again. Nice overall look Josh! Did you hear about Pikmin 3 yet? If the other comment shows up, sorry about the spam.


  24. LOL you get waaay too serious during your sword chops. well, did it meet all your expectations? im gonna go see some reviews to decide whether to buy it or not.


  25. josh was in war mode the whole time


  26. josh was in war mode the whole time


  27. [...] Check it out here (thanks Josh!) addthis_pub = ‘cortjezter’; addthis_hide_embed = false; addthis_options = ‘delicious, digg, email, facebook, google, live, myspace, slashdot, stumbleupon, twitter’; Permalink [...]

  28. Out of curiosity can you do light attacks as well as the heavy attacks?


    1. Yes, just swing the Wii Remote slower. Light attacks show up as a blue slash across the screen. Heavy attacks leave a red slash.


  29. hey josh, just curious, what sword sensitivity do you play on?


  30. Chosenoneknuckles

    Am lovin’ this game [and I'm not even much of a FPS fan]!


  31. the name of this video schould be Wiideo Tour – Red Steel 2 (Overview)


    1. you get it Wiideo tour!?


  32. Damn this game is amazing! I watched this before it came in the post, when I got up to the boss in this level I was expecting a big challenge since you died… I took him down really quickly, and I’m 13 by the way! XD


  33. Matthew Renners

    Hey Josh, did you noticed the Sherriff Star in the up-left corner at 1:59 of the video ?

    And thanks for the Overview, gives me a good idea of it.
    Going to buy the game by the way :P


  34. Josh, would it be possible to have a YouTube version of this video? My iPod touch refuses to play anything like flash, java and such unfortunately.


  35. wow thanks for the tour the game really looks awesome. Definately getting it.


  36. Also does this game absolutely kill your arm? My arm hurts after playing an hour or two of Wii Sports Tennis.


  37. heres a little question for you Josh, what would you want in the next Red Steel game? (I’m guessing you’re gonna say “Its perfect no changes”. I want more melee weapons. i want to see the samurai cowboy use an axe or two-hand broadsword)


      1. wow neevr thyought of that. ( I bet Josh will win if he ever went against Nick. XD )


  38. Nice overview!

    im waiting for Monster Hunter Tri coverage for now, its on top of my Must get Wii games ( and is the only one in there XD )


  39. i love your videos but i cant enjoy then because my internet connection is terrible and your videos take an hour to load. :(


  40. I so want this game. It also looks a little like No More Heroes too. It looks way better than the first one. Red Steel 1 sucks!


  41. FlameGirl Mel

    I finished the game but if i go back in challenge mode it does not let me buy other stuff


  42. My dad wouldn’t let me watch him play.
    :(


  43. sorry about that i was eating dinner.


  44. In case u were wondering, there is exactly 13 moves and combos:8 hidden strikes, 5 Kusagari powers


  45. i went the entire katakara boss without getting hit once


  46. This game is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  47. I don’t like some of the chapter missions because they can take like 2 hours to finish
