I'm sorry, excuse my lower-end intelligence, but I fail to compute why you'd say "pretty graphics" is an up, and rate the graphics 4.0.

Level design and graphics are not the same thing. Does not compute :|

[jrturner0112]

Yes, I agonized over this decision as well.
Plain and simple, "graphics" is a shallow category.

Visuals are merely a tool. Red Steel 2 developers had a great tool, but they squandered it. The graphics were indeed pretty. However, the visuals enhanced neither level design nor artistic integrity.

Sorry, but they're all linked. The graphics are only impressive for about 30 minutes. Then, as you wander from one quadrilateral plane to another, you'll discover that RS2's visuals are nothing but fancy wallpaper.

Now, I gave RS2's gameplay a 10. At the end of the day, it's pretty obvious that Ubisoft wanted to redefine what swordplay could be in a video game. In that respect, they succeeded. I gave credit where its due.

I feel like I explained this pretty well in the review. Did you read it?
