Kotaku: Red Steel 2 Preview

Red Steel 2 is sequel only in name to the 2006 Wii launch title, Red Steel. The first person combat is similar and the weapons are the same, but the story takes place in a completely different setting and the player is a different character – and it's a Wii Motion Plus exclusive. Details are scarce on the exact story other than the reveal about it being an alternate reality where high tech cities are safe but the open desert is dangerous. The primary inspiration for gameplay comes from desperado films like Yojimbo, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Six String Samurai; so you can expect a nameless lone hero in an East-meets-West setting dominated by gangsters.
