This impressive gameplay generated much excitement all over the videogame community, and the title was one of the highest selling launch games for Nintendo’s console. Producers Ubisoft have finally developed a sequel, and Wii’s Red Steel 2 is due out shortly.

Wii’s Red Steel 2 is moving the action from the Mafia oriented mob story of the first game and relocating to a desert environment, in which you play the mysterious ‘Swordsman’.

Multiplayer has additionally been removed from this title, as Ubisoft claim they wished to put all their energy into making the best single player campaign possible.
