10 Video Games That Totally Lied To Get Your Money
7. Red Steel
Ubisofts Red Steel was supposed to allow gamers to do something they had always wanted to do since they were kids take the role of a samurai warrior who is a master of sword fighting. The Nintendo Wii seemed to be the perfect console for this with its motion controls, and the developer promised unprecedented control over both the sword and gun in Red Steel, allowing you to feel as if you really were wielding a deadly weapon. As you might have guessed, the game simply did not allow players to be Jedis in training. The Wii Remote just couldnt translate movement that accurately to the console instead players would wave the control around while the character on screen performed one of a small number of pre-set moves. Needless to say, all the wannabe Shoguns were furious. Although you cant blame Ubisoft for the limitations of the Nintendo Wii they have to take responsibility for lying to customers. They must have known that direct control as they spoke about before release was not possible, but they continued to mislead players over how the game would be played in order to make it appear more exciting and attract more sales.
