Red Steel 2: A game anticipated by some, and cast aside by others, due to the first game not quite meeting everyones standards.
This game, however, is desgined around the new Wii Motion Plus Controller, which is meant to give it far more flexibilty, as well as a drastically shortened lag time between player and on screen movement.
The game's developer Ubisoft stated in an interview at this years E3 that Red Steel 2 would be focused on a East meets West theme, also making the most of the new Wii Motion Plus Controller, showing in their trailer greatly improved flexibilty, allowing the player to pull off a series of complex moves.
The release of this game is set for the Holiday of 2009, however, questions are starting to rise over how long the Wii will be able keep it's place as the only major console which allows characters to use the controller for movement by moving it instead of just pressing buttons, as Sony have shown their new controller which works in a very similar way to the Wii controller, but also Microsoft have shown a revolutionary new way of playing games, using no controller at all.
However, Sony's new controller is expected to be released in the spring of 2010, and Microsoft's new "no controller" method of playing games, is most likely going to appear with the release of the Xbox 720 as standard (current release date unknown) or as an expensive accesory for the Xbox 360 in the future, however, as of yet, no concrete information has been given.
