Red Steel 2 dev happy with review scores, but not thrilled

Let’s start here: if you clicked that Metacritic link back there, you know that (as of this writing) our average rating is hanging out at a solid 81%. Anyone in the industry will tell you: that doesn’t suck, but it ain’t the bestest ever. It’s the kind of number you need to be in the running for serious sales, and given the nature of the market we are releasing into, etc, blah blah blah, it’s pretty darn acceptable, but of course you always hope for more. It’s what Metacritic calls “generally favorable reviews”, but it’s closer to “mixed” than we’d prefer. - Jason Vandenberghe, Ubisoft

I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t had the time to play Red Steel 2 yet. I know that when I do, I’ll really end up enjoying it. I can just tell from what I’ve heard. I can also tell the amount of enthusiasm that Jason Vandenberghe has for this project. His passion for the project is sure to come through, and will most likely put a huge smile on my face.
