Wii Motion Plus adds depth to Red Steel 2 swordplay

Wii Motion Plus + Red Steel = awesome?
Red Steel generated a lot of buzz leading to its release not because of aggressive marketing, but because it was the first third-party game for the Nintendo Wii to show off a few dazzling screenshots. What’s not to love? Red Steel was a first-person shooter using the Wii’s motion controls. The game was supposed to change the way we play console shooters. Unfortunately, things took a bad turn when Red Steel came out—the critics were disappointed with Red Steel’s iffy controls.
Red Steel 2 hopes to change all that.
The sequel is still a first-person shooter and you still alternate between hacking foes with a katana and shooting them in the face. The difference maker is going to be the Wii Motion Plus, an add-on device for the Wiimote provides a greater range of complex motions. Exactly how is Wii Motion Plus going to change the sword fights? Find out in the new Red Steel 2 developer diary.
