Ouch.

Spoiler

5.5

 

[SyNapSe]

.. eek

 

[Vieo]

Is GameSpot a joke site?

 

[Beezy]

I don't think anyone expected this game to get over a 7 on GS after seeing the score that Zelda got.

 

[Mrbob]

Shit.

The one big 3rd party Wii exclusive bomba total. :/

Review by Greg Kasavin.

Yet another GS tool. I'll wait to hear what 1up and IGN have to say.

 

[clearacell]

I get this strange feeling that they might not like the Wii.

 

[Green Biker Dude]

:lol TP thread redux.

 

[ethelred]

I get this strange feeling that they might not like the Wii.

Something tells me you might be on to something.

 

[«þ»]

Ouch indeed.

I predict 7.2 on IGN.

 

[Drensch]

Gamespot=Paris Hilton getting naked and setting herself on fire.

 

[psycho_snake]

I didnt think that the game would get a very good score, but i didnt expect it to be so low.

 

[Verano]

Do you think we should take them seriously anymore?

 

[Cloudy]

Ok, I ain't misisng this thread :lol

 

[Xeke]

That's really bad.

 

[AniHawk]

Theeeeeeeeere's the suck.

Review by Greg Kasavin.

Kasavin is a damn good reviewer, especially when it comes to FPS'.

Except PDZ...

That was a fluke.

 

[NomarTyme]

Man is this game going to bomb.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

This will not end well. I think Red Steel will end up being a 'love it or hate it' kind of game.

 

[Armitage]

Wow. Is it becoming clear now that GS simply does not understand what the Wii is? They want it to be something it's not. Maybe if those numbers go low enough a 9Ghz beast will pop out!!11!

 

[yodandy]

Ill wait for ign, but this is looking less and less likely for a 2nd launch title for me.

 

[gutter_trash]

i saw this comming

 

[Krowley]

yikes!!! that's way lower than i expected. Kasavin is usually a pretty decent reviewer though so i'll give it a read. I've agreed with him quite a few times over the years.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Even with this being after the Zelda review, were people honestly still expecting alot from this game?

 

[Lobster]

Gamespot should have a new motto..


"We gotta be badass because we have a forum called "System Wars""

WTH..6 for graphics..Its like the best looking Wii launch title.

 

[NimbusD]

Do you think we should take them seriously anymore?

:lol :lol :lol

 

[mj1108]

After seeing their live Wii coverage and them trying to play stuff, it's impossible to take any of their reviews seriously.

Or does Gamespot just want hits?

 

[Forceatowulf]

The lack of blood is what killed it I am telling you.

 

[sprsk]

I respect Kasavin's reviews and you'd have to be blind not to have seen this one comin. Game has looked garbage day since it first was shown.

 

[goldenpp72]

He was one of the few reviewers who actually understood pdz, so I trust him.

 

[Wario64]

Aw I dont want to make another avatar.

 

[Lobster]

Do you think we should take them seriously anymore?

:lol :lol Where'd that come from!!:lol :lol

 

[Muppet345]

 

[Xeke]

Yea, it looks like a pretty shitty game.

 

[UncleScr00ge]

I trust Kasavin, so I think I'll just add it to my Gamefly queue and try it as opposed to buying it day 1.

 

[pilonv1]

People were expecting this to be good?

 

[Burai]

Wow. Is it becoming clear now that GS simply does not understand what the Wii is? They want it to be something it's not. Maybe if those numbers go low enough a 9Ghz beast will pop out!!11!

Is this how the NDF will damage control bad reviews now?

Gamespot: "The game is rushed and buggy and the sword fighting just doesn't work."

NDF: "OMG!!! GRAPHIX WHORES!!!! DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WII PHILOSOPHY!!!!"

 

[Fio]

I was expecting a 9. The same of PDZ.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I'll still get on launch, but if it sucks I'll trade it for Madden or DBZ before the 7-days are up.

NDF: "OMG!!! GRAPHIX WHORES!!!! DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WII PHILOSOPHY!!!!"

SPECIFICALLY, the low graphics score, when it's generally regarded as a good-looking game. Read the review.

 

[Jake.]

the dream is over.

 

[rkenshin]

So if you want a launch Wii FPS.. Get CoD3 instead?

I was going to get this game, now I'm really not sure but want a FPS when I buy my Wii on Sunday

 

[jamesinclair]

Graphics ; 6

f you're hoping that Red Steel's presentation quality helps make up for its middling gameplay, you should stop. Red Steel might have looked pretty good for the time, had it been released a few years ago. But between all the bland, blurry textures, the sluggish frame rate, and the plain-looking weapons and characters, it's decidedly below par by today's standards. There are a few decent touches here and there, such as some preposterously overdone explosion effects (you've never seen a forklift blow up like this).



You should stop? Thats not a professional review....

And newsflash guys.....the wii is essentially 5 year old technology/ Deal with it.

 

[Jiggy]

Do you think we should take them seriously anymore?

How and where did I miss this?

 

[The Main Event]

Holy crap at the score :lol

Good thing I kept my pre-ordered copy sealed. I guess I'll look forward COD3 or something else then.

NDF: "OMG!!! GRAPHIX WHORES!!!! DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WII PHILOSOPHY!!!!"

It's funny, that's almost how they described Zelda...

 

[HyperZone<3]

Heck, that's just zany-crazy-nuts that Red Steel could get so lowballed. How could anybody downgrade a great looking game like this?

Ummmm.

buy Metal Slug Anthology

 

[QuickKick89]

Theeeeeeeeere's the suck.

And the suck...and the suck....and the suck....

Seriously, how can this system survive with an 8.8 to carry it for 6 months to a year (more likely a year)

 

[Krowley]

after reading the review, he cuts the game a new one and he backs up the score with the text. If his complaints aren't totally fictional, then this game is pure crap.

Unless somebody else i trust disagrees with him in a big way, i'm gonna trust him and forget about this game.

 

[BorkBork]

I respect Kasavin's reviews and you'd have to be blind not to have seen this one comin. Game has looked garbage day since it first was shown.

This is how I feel. I have a feeling IGN will closely mirror this review as well (maybe a bit more lenient on the graphics).
