No More Heroes review

Posted : 10 years, 5 months ago on 14 November 2013 10:59

created by grasshopper games, no more heroes is a 3rd person action game where you play as travis touchdown, a nerdy loser who got his hands on a beam katana and became a ranked assassin.
the game is seperated into two distinct parts, the overworld and the levels. the overworld is scattered with collectables, but still feels very empty. the limited power of the wii shows through here, as only a handful of cars and people exist within the big city of santa destroy. this is very noticeable, since you'll be spending most of your time driving around destroy going from mini-game to mini-game.
in order to get into the levels, you need the appropriate amount of money. to get that money, you must first successfully complete mini-games called side jobs. none of these are particularly interesting, but they're all 2-3 minutes long, so they never get tiresome.
completing a sidejob unlocks an assassin mission where you simply kill the desired number of people in the desired way to get a payout. these pay higher than the sidejobs, and are more fun to play, since the game's combat is immensely satisfying, but simple.
once you've acquired the desired amount of currency, you'll be allowed into the game's levels. the level design in this game flip flops from genius, to fun but simple, to linear hallways. but there's always some great theming going on, like making the baseball stadium level have batting sections.
the real creative meat of this fiasco is the boss fights. each one is unique, fun to fight, and very memorable. just ask someone who's played this fight about bad girl, and you'll get a fountain of praise.
What this game lacks in mechanics and design it more than makes up for with creativity and style. I can't recommend it to everyone, but if you love your games being strange and brilliant, you'll love this.

What a Masterpiece

No More Heroes is a great game even though this game is censored and has no blood annoying very much. This game though is still awesome it has cool fights, you can do jobs such as lawn mowing, collecting coconuts, collecting garbage and the Wii controls make this fun. You get this cool light saver to kill your enemies. You can drive around on your bike.

This is a great game a classic Wii title even though it is censored with no blood don't be put off buy it, its weird, crazy and funny also entertaining. The fighting is known to be faster in this version due to the blood missing.
By the way if people never knew this Ubisoft own Rising Star games just to let people know. I found it annoying how people were complaining to Rising Star Games they gave us the Japanese version which is the original i would be happy about it as quite a few Japanese games never make it out of the country.

I would of liked to have seen blood but deal with it and if people of such a bit problem with it buy a freeloader and import it, but me i don't care i am pretty much happy with what i have this version as i said is still great.
Last thing i have to laugh when Travis says bloodbath no blood its just black dust that comes out. I want a No More Heroes 2 great game for the Wii any owner over 16 should get it but beware this does contain a lot of bad language.
