All gamers wanted from Red Steel (and the Wii itself) was real-feeling sword action, and now, four years later, the Wii is delivering. Red Steel 2's sword combat actually works; playing it makes you feel like a katana master wielding a deadly razor blade. Big ups, Ubisoft, big, big ups."

Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4

There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
With the Switch bringing interest back into the realm of motion controls, it seems as good a time as any to dip back into the backlog and retrieve some lucrative nuggets from the one that launched the phenomenon in the first place: the Nintendo Wii.
"this will be a must-play for Wii owners who want to play a “real” game."
I was about to say, wow G4 giving a fair preview of a Wii game, until this line came up. Seriously, is this really necessary? What am I thinking these are the same people who gave Crisis Core a 2/5.
