If you're the slightest bit unsure whether Red Steel is an essential purchase or not, this video will convince you - and then some.

One of the first chances to see high-quality Wii footage in action, this trailer from Ubisoft shows their exclusive shooter/slasher in fine shape. Marvel at the rag-doll bodies being blown down stairwells by a shotgun, and the pretty effects as you shoot-out fish tanks in a bullet-ridden frenzy.

The trailer also features sword-play action, showing exactly how life-like your movements with the Wii-mote can be. Awesome stuff - and we highly recommend that you watch it (56K users beware - its a large file).

The trailer can be found over at G-Freaks.de.
