Red Steel 2 is a sequel In Name Only to Ubisoft's first-person shooter/swordfighting launch game for the Nintendo Wii. It follows a nameless almost silent hero, who returns to his home town after having been banished by his clan only to find it completely overrun by a violent bike gang called The Jackals who attack him and take his sora katana. The hero has to work together with the only locals still fighting back, uncover the reason for the invasion and avenge his clan.This game has completely abandoned the modern yakuza setting of the first game and moved to a Cattle Punk setting, with a new hero, a new art style, and improved controls.

Loading Screen: Most loading screens are blatantly hidden behind opening doors. The only proper ones appear when you begin or end a session, respawn from a checkpoint or enter a new area, with a random tip about the game's controls.

 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_2854b56d
comment
Uncertain Doom: The game doesn't clearly ascertain whether or not Tamiko truly died after taking a bullet from Shinjiro when the Hero entered Tiger's Nest. Shinjiro also boasts that he captured the Hero's allies just before the final confrontation, who may or may not be alive, since you never hear from them afterwards.

Perhaps the easiest way to deal with the penultimate boss is to break his armor, then let'er rip with the machinegun. If it's upgraded enough, one long string of bullets is all it takes.

In Rattlesnake Canyon, there are plenty of places where you can normally fall to your death, if not for Invisible Walls that prevent you from falling off. But these invisible walls don't stop enemies from falling to their death, which you can exploit to your advantage by knocking them to their doom with the Dragon.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: As pointed out in this review, some copies of the game have bugs that can wipe out save data and require you to reset the chapter, wiping out an hour or more of progress. While most fatal bugs can be overcome by resetting your Wii or restarting the chapter, there's one fatal bug that will force you to restart the entire story from scratch. The only certain way to trigger it is to load your game, do nothing and immediately quit to the main menu. The next time you try to load the game, it will always silently freeze on the load screen, forcing you to unplug your Wii. Every. Single. Time. So, whatever you do, don't do that.

Rule of Cool: Red Steel 2 loves this trope. Half the special attacks are probably impossible to do in Real Life. The Kusagari powers are definitely impossible.

Boring, but Practical
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The Tiger, a move that allows you to block an opponent's attack and stun them, is by far the least flashy of the Kusagari Powers. However, it leaves your enemies wide open for a while, and always works, even against Giant Mooks or bosses, making this one of the more useful moves. Kneecapping and then finishing gun mooks or lowly sword mooks. It's not exciting, but it's the best way to take them out fast. Aerate the opponent's skull with the revolver, then use the Rush on him. Gets old fast, but you get a good amount of money. The double-barrel is incredibly effective against ninjas. Perhaps the easiest way to deal with the penultimate boss is to break his armor, then let'er rip with the machinegun. If it's upgraded enough, one long string of bullets is all it takes.

Reward from Nowhere
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_464176c8
comment
Reward from Nowhere: While it does make sense that killing enemies carries a reward of some sort and finishing them off in a stylish way increases the amount, the fact that you can trap a single enemy against a wall and then fling Sword Beams at them until your hand gives out and get 500 dollars for each one pretty much rules out other possibilities.

After this fails and he ends up dangling from a ledge, he goes back to begging for his life and claiming he didn't do anything to the Hero. Finally, when the hero demands to know where his clansmen are, he goes back to screaming insults and threats, even as he falls to his death.

Marathon Level
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9
comment
Marathon Level: Rattlesnake Canyon is the longest of the seven chapters. The middle three chapters can also become this in Challenge Mode, because autosave is disabled in such mode and any chapter you start in Challenge mode must be completed in one sitting. Hope you have a Bladder of Steel to conquer any these three levels on Challenge Mode!note If you really need to take a break when playing any of these levels in Challenge mode, then for your console's sake, open the HOME Menu so that you don't grind down its disc lens, which the game will constantly tax, even when the game's paused.

Point of No Return
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273
comment
Point of No Return: Explicitly mentioned at the end of each level of the game, giving you a prompt on whether you want to advance in case you still haven't done everything. Annoyingly enough, the game still keeps giving you money after you've gone past the point where there's no way to spend it on upgrades, meaning you need to abuse the method described below to get enough of it before that if you want to upgrade everything before the end of the game. The Challenge Mode that allows you to replay stages doesn't help any either because you can't access any of the upgrade locations during it and any money you collect in the stages only counts towards your final score that determines how much of a money bonus you get in your main file, again meaning that by the time you can actually access the last 2 stages in Challenge mode, you have nothing to spend the bonus on either.

Body Armor as Hit Points
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_7e8a8eac
comment
Body Armor as Hit Points: Makes more sense in this game, where upgrading parts of your Badass Longcoat gives you layers of armor on top of your life bar that can take up to 4 hits before you start to take damage to your lifebar. The actual lifebar is upgraded via the parts of the clan emblem at the back of the said Badass Longcoat.

What Happened to the Mouse?: You do not directly hear from your allies, as well as Songan, after entering Tiger's Nest. Shinjiro boasts of how he captured your allies and forced them to help him remake his sword in the last chapter, Revenge, but from there, it's unclear whether they're dead or alive.

Black Blood / Bloodless Carnage: While the "animated blood" in this game is not red, every slash, stab and gunshot is accompanied with a large burst of sand-yellow liquid, allowing the game to barely get away with a T rating. Arguably, if they had gone for red blood instead, they would've probably had to tone the actions themselves down a good deal. The FMVs also do not feature any bloodshed whatsoever.

Loads and Loads of Loading: Each chapter's map is divided into many small areas that the Wii needs to load in with intense disc activity, gated by doors that lock your movement and take time to open when you try to open them. Whether you're planning to travel from one far end of the map to the other or cut your way across a linear chapter, expect to have your patience (and your Wii's disc lens) tested time and time again by the sheer number of moments where you'll have to stand still watching a door take it sweet time to open.

Anti-Frustration Feature: The pause menu lets you restart a chapter (which can help you get past any game-breaking bugs as long as they don't block you from pausing the game). You can also adjust the game difficulty at any time from the main menu. Strangely, in the mines at Rattlesnake Canyon (not Rattlesnake Quarry), there is a safe you can crack for extra cash in one of the poisonous caves there. If you approach the safe to crack it, you are invulnerable during the safe crack sequence and can't take any damage until you finish or quit.

While most fatal bugs can be overcome by resetting your Wii or restarting the chapter, there's one fatal bug that will force you to restart the entire story from scratch. The only certain way to trigger it is to load your game, do nothing and immediately quit to the main menu. The next time you try to load the game, it will always silently freeze on the load screen, forcing you to unplug your Wii. Every. Single. Time. So, whatever you do, don't do that.

He even pulls this in the boss fight where he has a move where he grabs you and slams you to the ground.

comment
Standard FPS Guns: This game has four guns that include the handgun, shotgun, rifle, and tommygun, all of which can be upgraded in various stats including damage, reload speed and accuracy. Once you upgrade the main stats for each gun to max, you gain access to a final upgrade that adds an additional property to each gun's shots: revolver's bullets bounce off walls, shotgun breaks armor, tommygun pierces through enemies and rifle gains exploding rounds.

Cutting the Knot: In Rattlesnake Canyon, rather than find a way to unlock the front gate of the Kusagari temple there that Shinjiro has taken over, the Hero's allies have him go to Rattlesnake Quarry to build a bomb and bring it to the front gates to blow it open.

Press X to Not Die
 Red Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_e6661fc2
comment
Press X to Not Die: There is one cutscene quick time event of the instant death variety. And it's the only instance of this in the whole game. The standard finishing moves could also count, although they are entirely optional and the one you can perform at any given time depends on what kind of stun the enemy is currently in, which is again dependent on what kind of move you hit them with to begin with. Amusingly, there's one QTE as well where - with the hero hanging from the side of a truck, the driver holding a gun at him, and no easy way to dodge if the driver shoots - even the on-screen prompt doesn't know what button you should press, displaying just an icon of the Wii Remote and three question marks. The driver pulls the trigger and hits an empty chamber.

Offhand Backhand: The Storm, when used against enemies close enough to you that are behind you. It counts as an One-Hit Kill on any Mook and works on giant ones as well, who normally need to be finished off from behind. That said, they have to be telegraphing an attack for you to be able to use the instant kill.

Razor Wind / Sword Beam: The Dragon. Not immediately obvious which it's closer to, since its main purpose is to push enemies away and stun them if they hit a wall and if not charged up fully, it does no damage whatsoever on its own.
