Cool, and mostly appropriate.

this a amazing game. i played it at a friends house and we had a blast. the most violence will probably not happen to you, because it was when we were all fighting about who would play next :) The females top is slightly revealing, but you barely see her in the cut scenes. no blood, but there is some cursing on the part of the villains.

Fun for Younger Teens, but no kids

I love this game, even though its nonstop violence, people getting stabbed, gunfire, and explosions. It's a good first person shooter for younger teens who aren't ready for Call of Duty and Bulletstorm.

Great game every fighter fan should own

This game is amazing! The controls are very accurate and very rarely mess up. For concerns, the game is violent. There are various "finishers" that can be used and are, while not graphic (no blood), violent. For example, after weakening an enemy, you can rush them, put them in a head lock and shoot them in the neck. You may have noticed that i put both good and bad role models. these are both to the main character. Bad, he is fighting for revenge. Good, he comes back to fight for his clan even after they banish him for a crime he didn't commit. Overall, this is a great game and anyone who wants to swing a sword and shoot guns in the same game should get it.

WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT. Great first-person Wii actioner

Holy crap...is this from the same team that did the original Red Steel, one of the most underwhelming Wii launch titles? Why...yes. Red Steel 2 is yet another must-have game for people who want to see exactly what the Wii MotionPlus can do. The $20 add-on is put to excellent use here, and swinging a sword is actually very easy to control, unlike the original. Its ugly graphics have been replaced with a beautiful anime-style look that has quite a bit of attention to detail. The story is underwhelming, but what's the point in that? All you have to do is shoot and swing. It's a visceral action game that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who's played No More Heroes 1 and/or 2, Twilight Princess, MadWorld, or all 4. On the content side of things, the Teen rating is deserved. Violence, while constant, is certainly not on the level of MadWorld or Ninja Gaiden. However, there is quite a bit of animated yellow liquid coming out of enemies, which seems to be blood. (This is the 100th time Common Sense has gotten something wrong...) There's some cleavage on a woman, and some mild language is used, but those sorts of things are in E10+ and even E-rated games. Overall, Red Steel 2 is the best Wii swordfighting simulator ever made. And the shooting's great, as well.

Okay, the original review said that there was no blood. They were wrong. There's TONS of Animated Blood (In this game, it could easily be mistaken for red blood.) and the violence in NUTS. I mean, you knock your opponent on the ground and then you jump onto them and stab them in the chest. Sometimes, multiple times. But, it's a lotta fun! Besides all the cussing, it's good for kids 10+.
