This was a game that i have wished to play in a long time. It got great reviews from all over the place so I've decided to try it myself. Starting with the graphics. They are cel shaded style so the game got an art feeling wich gives him an unique touch. But they could be a little better. The gameplay is great! Hack and slash action of the best you can find and with a little touch of the wiimote which I think that could have more use. Lot's of gore(in the ntsc version because pal is censored)helps give the action more rush. Now for the story. You play as an assassin which in a rank battle turned up to become the 11th best of america's assassin association and as so he entered a no way out way. Now with the help of a sexy french assistant you have to make your way through the ranks to become the best of all! I know that this sounds like a lame story but now mix it up with a good amount of sidequests to make money, the little touch of dressin travis touchdown and a lot of HUMOR AND GORE! With this said I think everyone should try this awsome game which for me is worth 9/10 !Read full review
3.5 Stars really. No More Heroes (NMH) oozes style at every turn, but there are some signifigant flaws holding it back. The most frustrating part of the game is having to drive across the whole damn map all the time - it can take a good minute or so to get where you need to go - especially at first when the city is big and foreign. I beat the game with ~13 hours played - but I bet 4 of those hours were spent driving back and forth. It really feels like padding. Similarly frustrating - failing a mission (there are a number of optional "one-hit and you lose" missions) and when you fail them, you can't start over. Likewise failing other jobs/missions means you have to drive back to the source and then turn around right back to where you were to try again. Money is very grindy too - though really only an issue for me late in the game. I did have to repeat a few missions a couple of times to get enough cash for the last fight. It's a fun game - combat is unique, and entertaining - controls can be a little off though, and some camera wonkiness is problematic too. Overall It's easy to recommend for the price you're likely to find a copy now (i.e. - under $20). I have the sequel but haven't started playing it - I'm hoping it fixes a lot of these problems.Read full review
I am a fan of action games. This made me a little hesitant to buy a Wii, which is more geared to family type games. Titles like No More Heroes give me hope for the system. The gameplay of this game is ridiculously enjoyable. Unlike some sword wielding Wii games, you do not frantically wave the remote to execute attacks. Careful button pressing combined with Wii remote movement death blows make this game great fun without becoming boring or old quickly. The graphics on this game are a little lacking, which is the only thing holding it back from an "Excellent" rating. The lack of graphical depth did not hinder the game experience. A word of caution: this game is not for the young or squeamish. After you kill an enemy, blood squirts in all directions. If you do not want grotesque violence, this game may not be for you. In conclusion, No More Heroes is an excellent title for those of us that want some carnage from our Wii systems. Its amazing gameplay will have you itching for another foe to kill.Read full review
Excellent soundtrack. The not-so-serious story and retro-gaming elements in the game are relayed well in the games' main themes. Replayability - Yes I will be playing this again although I have completed it twice. Too short? Maybe. Were there more to do in the actionless 'world' map; this wouldn't be a negative comment. Crappy side-jobs? Hardly 'entertainment.' Wii controls respond well. PAL-censored. Watch a youtube video of the NTSC version prepare for the shock. Though not a fan of "bloody" games - it fits SO well in this game and its' EU removal was a big mistake by Suda 51. All-round? A one-of-a-kind game you will not regret playing. So much more could have been done however. And I'm sure 90% of others will say exactly the same thing. Buy it.
In this adventure game directed by Goichi Suda (of Killer 7 fame), you play as Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak to him) who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1.
