Cubed3's Karn Bianco got to go hands on with Ubisoft's Wii exclusive Motion Plus FPS Red Steel 2 ahead of E3. Find out what he thought of the sword-slashing, gun-slinging game set in a land of futuristic cowboys and gang warfare.

Red Steel 2 looks great and plays brilliantly. The Wii MotionPlus has allowed Ubisoft to create the game that many had hoped the original Red Steel was going to be. Sword movement is truly 1:1, combat is fluid and enjoyable, gunplay is satisfying, and the setting is intriguing. Despite being scheduled for a late 2009 launch, RS2 is also showing an impressive level of polish. Christmas 2009 can’t come soon enough!
