Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:


In a nutshell:
Fight against armed gangs in both the U.S. and Japan in this brand new first person actioner from the publishers of Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell. Master both guns and swords as you play through the bloodiest game yet on the Wii.



The lowdown:
One of the biggest third party games announced exclusively for the Wii, this is also the first proper first person shooter for the new console. You use the nunchuck controller to move around and the Wii remote to aim your weapons with real precision (the game even knows when you’re holding a gun sideways, gangsta style). When using a sword the motion sensors in the nunchuck are used to block and you can slash away with the Wii remote. The graphics aren’t massively more impressive than a good GameCube game but the seedy Japanese back streets and giant explosions look great and the artificial intelligence for enemies is already quite a challenge.



Most exciting moment:
The game features an ability to called freeze tagging which allows you to slow down time and “tag” enemy body parts with the Wii remote. When you switch back to normal time you can take down each enemy you tagged instantly.



Since you ask:
As seen at E3 the sword controls do not respond exactly to the movements you make with the Wii remote, for example moving the remote up actually causes a downward thrust. Following complaints though Ubisoft have promised to change things for the final game.



The bottom line:
The Wii gets violent with the next gen’s only first person sword fighter.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - 'Terrible'
The game has very few good points. The bad points list just gets bigger. The biggest annoyance is the control system- very hard to use and its easy to get killed in the first 5 seconds. Its virtually impossible to shoot where your aiming! The next bad thing is the camera angle, the camera is positioned from the players face so when moving the angle changes. Overall- One of the worst.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - the whole game is let down by the controls
this game is a huge disapointment in several ways. firstly the worst is the controls, which are terrible and it basically makes the game unplayable. theres no blood when u shoot people and when u sword fight which i think is unrealistic. the graphics were pretty poor for a nintendo wii. also the game became rather boring after about 15 mins of playing it.
this game in my opinion is not worth more than £10, if u pay more than that, then u will just be wasting your money




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So far so awsome...
I bought this before reading all the reviews, and had a bit of a panic when I read some of the more dismal ones.
Then it arrived and I played it.
Now, I've only completed the first 2 levels/missions but;
This game is Awsome! A note to the people who found it hard to aim, set the sensitivity down to low in the options, this is recommended to first time players when you see it in the options. With this set, the machinegun was easy to master.
I will admit some people find the ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OK
At the begining I had one MAJOR irritation...The controls.
The controls ruined the game a four...Infact almost earned it a 2.
Other than that a rather decent game.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome!
This game allows you to really get a feel of how the Wii works with its controllers as it makes good use of them in gameplay. The game has a really good story line that you can easily follow. Recommended to everyone who likes a variety in their gameplay.
