 Uber Stylish and very very funny. March 27, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
One of the best games on the wii. It's completely accessible and fast paced at the same time. A game that perfectly suits those who just want to complete the game (look at the pretty anime style graphics and swing their katana around and swipe off the enemies) and those people who want to get out all the gaming goodness by finding all the t-shirts and collecting items to upgrade their skills.
It's one of those great games that is easy to play yet harder to master, a welcome addition to the wii and ridiculously stylish and funny.
Not without flaws, but absolutley brilliant March 24, 2008

No More Heroes is just what the Wii needed - a proper gamers game that any of the older generation of gamers can appreciate. There are constant changes in pace, loads of retro nods in the loading screens and High Score tables, and simple but very satidfying gameplay.
Its incredibally rough around the edges mind. The graphics at times are LITERALLY Ps1 standard and the framerate in the city sections is painfully poor (Especially when on the bike). There is lots of pop up and the collision detection is quite frankly appalling and pretty inexcusable in this day and age. If you take graphics very seriously then, excellent art style aside, technically this isnt your sort of thing.
The thing is, when the game is as brilliantly playable and as funny as this, it simply doesnt matter at all. All the flaws become endearing in a way and they begin to raise a smile everytime they happen. You really fall in love with this game rather than play it.
The combat with the Wii controls is so satisfying, if you've had a bad day it works a treat. Instead of just mapping all the moves onto the remote and have you flail around like a madman, you only use remote gestures for the finishing moves, using the buttons for general fighting. This makes that finishing move so satisfying as you really feel in control, rather than alot of wii games where you wave your arms around and just hope for the best.
I would definatley recommend adding this to your collection, its a game that just drips with 'cool', it controls fantastically and is actually pretty funny along the way too.
Ignore the other reviews, this is a great game March 20, 2008

Please ignore the other reviews, i know its censored but get over it, its not as big a problem to only give it one star or two stars. This is a great game, yeah it would have been nice to have more blood, but you cant have everything.
On to the actual game, this game actually has the atmosphereand intensity of the situation travis is in. He is an assasin, who must kill twelve others to move up in ranks to impress his boos.
The open world enviroment is great too, but the style and action is brilliant in the game.
Overall, this a great game, which dosent deserve two stars just for being censored.
Being censored makes no difference. March 16, 2008

I admit at first I was a bit upset about the game being censored but I would never let it stop me from buying a game. You start off with the excellent tutorial which you can skip if you wish then you're right into the action. Everything about this game oozes quality. The cell-shaded graphics, the dialogue, boss fights, the humorous cut scenes and I even enjoyed the mini games you play to earn more money. I find myself laughing over and over at the main character who goes by the name of Travis Touchdown. Some people may look at this game and think it looks pretty shallow but there is much much more I could put in this review. At the end of the day it's not for everybody but if you're not buying it because of the lack of virtual blood then you are missing out on a quality game plus poor sales will mean developers will not waste time writing original games and dish out the same old same old.

...the ultimate gaming icon...
No More Heroes is packed full of stylised action that's as awesome to perform as it is to watch. For those who bought the Wii for it's unique controls they are used brilliantly here. The story is incredibly high-concept and bizarre characters deliver plenty of drama and mature humour and there are lots of small details and gameplay detours to keep you engaged. This is the mature Wii action title you've been waiting for, and there's nothing else quite like it.
