Game Description

The first-ever first-person action game built for the Wii sends you halfway around the world in a gritty tale of rescue and revenge. Your fiancee has been kidnapped and her father murdered. But he wasn't just any dad. He was a Japanese mafia kingpin. Travel from Los Angeles to Japan to take on the Tokyo underworld and save your fiancee. Become a modern-day samurai as you master Japanese-style combat. Cultivate respect by dispatching your enemies or gain their loyalty by letting them live. The game's been built from scratch for the Wii, so it takes full advantage of the system's motion-based controls. In other words, hope you're ready to master swordplay.
