Homie Today at 13:36 Great review man, I agree 100% with everything you said I didn´t know that this one was going to be a "GC port".
I can´t remember where I read it, I think it was Gamefaqs.com with a source attached.
It said that Ubisoft was developing Redsteel for the Gamecube,(Like 8 months in) then they got news the Wii was coming out soon so they changed it to production for the Wii and got the Wiimote 1 month before the release of the Wii, so they barely got any smooth movements in.
There´s a second Redsteel coming out with better sword controls, more guns and a better zooming feature. I can´t wait.
