TELL YOUR LOCAL GAME STORE: I WANT MY RED STAR PS2!
Many gamers have frequently expressed their frustration at the inadequate availability of the Red Star Playstation 2 game. Many retailers, such as Gamespot (formerly EB Games), Best Buy, and even Amazon.com (which actually sells games on behalf of Target stores, and not from their own supply), only received very limited numbers of the game, or none at all. Our surveys of online gaming forums show this to be one of the most often mentioned issues related to the game. Classic action gaming fans have read all the great reviews, now they wish they could actually get their hands on the game! We hope that readers of this news item can help by reminding their favorite purveyors of gaming goodness to badger their suppliers for more copies of The Red Star game for Playstation 2 (also compatible with Playstation 3 entertainment system).

DEMAND FOR RED STAR GAME OVERWHELMS SUPPLY!

Dear readers,

Much to our delight, the Red Star game has proven to be a great critical and commercial success, climbing to the top of the sales charts despite the lengthy ordeal involved in bringing it to the market.

Unfortunately, due to the scale of it's success, which was a surprise to suppliers, there have been delays in getting large enough shipments of the game to retailers, including our very own Red Store.

For the many, many of you (thank you!) that have already ordered the game from our Red Store, and received our email notice about the delay in shipping, we have some good news. Our suppliers have informed us that a new shipment of the game will soon be on it's way to us. This means your shipments will be going out to you shortly after that as well.

More The Red Star Game reviews

Here are some of the articles and blog entries talking about The Red Star game that we’ve found in our roamings. In no scientific order, here goes;

As it turns out, I had severely underestimated Red Star. Don't be fooled by the bargain-bin sticker price or the leagues of delays this game suffered over the years; this is top-quality classic action gaming, and an experience you shouldn't dare miss.

The Red Star: A History in Covers

But the new cover suggests that someone's doing something somewhere with regard to the game. Even if Makita's going to catch her death of cold.

... all sorts of things, arriving in volumes that can give the postman a career-threatening backache. But we've rarely had such a satisfying delivery as the one we received today, in an average, unassuming padded envelope: a final copy of The Red Star for PlayStation 2, courtesy of EBgames.com.

The Red Star has great pacing; it breaks up the melee action sequences with portions of levels that force you to use your guns. And the great thing about The Red Star is that it succeeds in making both shooting and melee combat equally rewarding.
