Offering a eccentric mix of gunblazing and sword-swinging gameplay, Ubisoft’s MotionPlus-powered sequel Red Steel 2 makes its ascent onto store shelves this week in North America. In commemoration of the occasion, the publisher has sent over a high-octane launch trailer that covers all bases. From up-close-and-personal swordplay to pursing a pack of bandits on motorcycles in a riveting chase, the katana-brandishing protagonist is a busy fellow.

Clocking in at a meager two minutes, we’re of the opinion that the clip nicely sums up why you should shell out the cash for this exceptional Wii title. But hey, don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.
