This is version 0.1, with a basic rundown of what I want to write. I'll
write more as quickly as I can as often as I can. Please note at this stage
I still need to finish the game (just started on In the Name of the Father),
and I have homework, studying, finals, etc to do, so it may take a little
while.

Intro
Red Steel is the Nintendo Wii's very first First Person Shooter. Despite the
bad reviews that many people have given it, I, personally, enjoy it. It's
set in Japan, and features the standard guns that most other First Person
Shooters have. However, it also features sword fights, and they were hailed
as revolutionary for the Wii's new controllers. Another major feature was
the Focus System, which, although it doesn't come in until about halfway
through the game, turns Red Steel from a mediocre shooter into an entirely
different beast.

Story:
You are Steve, a bodyguard to a young Japanese woman named Miyu. Right
before you tell her father, a Yakuza (basically the Japanese mob), that you
want to marry her, a rival Yakuza tries to kill him. It is up to you to stop
the assassination. Along the way, you pick up a broken hilt of a sword, and
fight off a couple sword-wielding maniacs. Once you escape, it is up to you
to rescue Miyu, regain the Sato Clan's honor, and take down the Japanese
underworld. Sound like fun?

Act 1: Sato's Legacy
Level 1: Bloody Sunset
As the game opens, you see a girl who you will eventually learn is your
fiancee tell you to look at some fish. Not the most exciting of openers, but
it gets better, don't worry. This is just to help you get used to the
controls. After you look at all the fish, your table is ready.
Here's one of the first manga cutscenes that reveals that you're an American
bodyguard who's fallen in love with the woman he was hired to guard. Plus, a
bunch of guys coming in with guns. Eventually, Miyu (the girl) will tell you
that you need to get going to meet her dad.
After this you walk a while to meet her dad, eventually you'll be told by a
guard that you won't be able to stay with Miyu. And then some nut with an
Uzi comes up and starts shooting at your girlfriend. Just as you run in to
do something, one of the bad guys punches you, knocking you out.
When you come to, there's nobody around but a gun and a dead body or two.
Time to grab the gun and get busy. In order to get to the gun, you've got to
flip over the table, which creates a really nice dynamic in gunfights all
through the game. Get ready, because they'll be tossing you right into the
inferno.
Go across through the door and open the door (Nunchuck), and through the
drab gray hallway, out into a lounge where your first real firefight begins.
One guy comes through right away, and another two after you start coming
around the bar. Use the tables for cover-they certainly will.
Go through the door they came from, past the restrooms, and once you pass
the next corner you'll hear shooting. Get ready, because if you hug the left
side of the wall, you'll be able to see the next bad guy a lot sooner. Take
him out and another bodyguard will tell you to head to the roof to meet up
with your girlfriend and Mr. Sato.
Follow him out the door and up the stairs to watch him get shot. Take the
initiative and kill both of the people in this nice, outdoor pavilion (turn
to the right), and then go a little closer towards them to spawn two more
enemies.
Go through the door by the (probably) shattered glass window and you'll come
to an art gallery with a bad guy in it. If you're fast with a headshot, you
may be able to take him out. Otherwise he'll head for cover behind a bar in
a great big restaurantish room with two friends.
Once you head up the stairs, you'll meet up with two more targets. Dispatch
them using the zoom and tipping over the tables, if necessary. Keep in mind
that you're not Rambo. You do have a health bar, and if it falls enough,
you'll die. Duck behind a table or some other cover and you'll regain your
health after a few seconds.
Head to the back and exit stage right. This is the first of the cutscene
checkpoints that will load you to that point if you need to exit the game
for some reason. The others are simply loading points that load if you don't
exit the game.
Walk down the hallway, past the hallway on your right (unless you wanna
break the window or look through it at the now-empty kitchen), and through
the double doors into the kitchen. Inside are three bad guys. Watch out for
the explosive stoves. While they are dangerous, they are just one of the
many pretty things that you can blow up for massive damage to enemies. If
one does blow up, then the sprinklers turn on. Nothing special except for
being pretty
Head for the door and take out the guy that comes through for your very
first Uzi. Followed by a room that has a ton of Uzis. Blow up the propane
tanks to make a hole in the wall to a stairwell. On the landing facing you,
there will be a tango with a Ps9, and one with an Uzi. Take them out and
head up the stairs. When you get to the next landing, the combat music
starts up and two more guys jump out of a door behind you. The door they
came from ends up in a dead end, so don't worry about it. Head up the sairs
to the next landing and take out the pair of guys "guarding" the top of the
stairs.
Head through the open hallway, out past the doors (blow up the cardboard if
you want a nice effect), and you'll come to a checkpoint. Walk through the
electrical room and you'l hear a helicopter starting up and an explosion.
Keep going. You're about to enter the magical realm of the shotgun.
There's one guy with an Uzi guarding an obviously injured Sato (your
girlfriend, Miyu's, dad). Walk up to a checkpoint where he tells you that
you guys were ambushed, and that he was slow, and that his daughter got
away.
Go up the ladder that's behind you after the cutscene, and take out the two
guys spraying bullets at you. Drop down and to your right there will be at
least four guys shooting at you, with another guy coming down the opening in
front of you and slightly to your right.
