Now when you think of Nintendo,you think of family fun games that have no blood or lets just say an "m" rated title.Suda-51 had a great vision for this game and it is just flat out funny.You play as Travis Touchdown out to become the #1 assassin out there in Santa Destroy,California.I wont blurge the whole story.But the controls,the characters,and the story is just great.If you are tired of Mario and you want to play something more mature.You have got to check this game out.Rent it or buy it,I highly recomended you play it,and so does xplay.

Great game

This is a classic button-masher with the added fun of moving the controller to either side as you mash.

Best Wii release since Metroid

If you are considering this title, do yourself a favor and purchase it. This is among the most unique titles available on any console; it is chock-full of style and features fun, intuitive gameplay. With the newly reduced price there is no reason why this gem should not be in your library.

One of the best Wii games yet

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I read the review for it before I bought it and was very pleased with how much fun it was to play. The only mistake I made was playing it on the easy level first because the game seemed to go by too fast. I recommend trying it on the Mid level difficulty first but overall one of the best games for Wii.

Good game, fun to play. Not great

I'd say this game is fun to play for a while. I really enjoyed the boss battles and some of the side jobs. However I hated the idea of having a GTA-like city where you can go everywhere but do nothing. Come on, what's the whole point?? The plot is ok, a little strange but this game is supposed to be like this. Graphics are good, but only for the characters, the background is just horribly lame. I thought it was a joke on the very first level. The way you kill enemies in a rapid button mashing reminds me of arcades and I liked it. It is not a bad game, but could have been better, the plot is too linear and there is not much to do around town in a bike that by the way sucks how it handles.

I gave it a 4 star because I got the game for only $20, I guess the store messed up because it is obviously a $50 game. So, if you would like to try it I recommend that you rent it first and if you really like it, make your purchase

No More Heroes: The best 3'rd Party game for Wii

There have been many Wii games that I have been enjoying over my time with the system, and most of the them have been Nintendo made. That is, in fact the reason as to why I wanted a Wii in the first place, I love all things Nintendo. There haven't been many strong games coming in from third parties for the Wii with the exception of Capcom giving us Zack and Wiki and RE4. Ubisoft is ready to change that with their release of No More Heroes, think of it as Kill Bill the video game.

You play as Travis Touchdown, best name ever I might add, who wields a beam katana (light saber) as he tries make his way up the ranked assassins list to become number one. Each boss battle is a ranked assassin and each is a wilder character than the last, making for some interesting cut scene banter, and fighting. The game is oozing style from all over, it has a very retro feel but manages to feel new and refreshing all the same. After each Boss fight you'll come to a high score screen just like an old school arcade game, showing you moving up the assassins ladder. It acts as a hack and slash game for the boss fights, but in between you'll be traveling around the open city, doing mindless jobs to earn money for the next fight. The in between stuff may not be as fun as the boss battles, but they are still pretty enjoyable.

The game is at its best when you get enough money for a fight, go to the location, battle through hundreds of enemies with motion control and wrestling moves (the creator is a huge wrestling fan), finally making your way to a wacky boss fight. It's definitely one of the best games I've played on Wii. It's just as bright and colorful as Super Paper Mario and is also once of the bloodiest games I've ever played (again think Kill Bill style decapitations). Every finishing move you do will leave you very satisfied and wanting more and more. I'm currently the 7th ranked assassin in Santa Destroy and should be at the top in know time at the rate I'm playing. I'd definitely pick this up if you have a Wii, it's one of the most unique games you'll ever play.

Good concept.

No More Heroes is an interesting game. You are Travis Touchdown, a rising assasin working for the United States Assasination Association, living in Santa Destroy. It is a sandbox game much like Grand Theft Auto with an cell shaded art style and a strong emphasis on the missions rather than the open world. The open world is quite bland and lifeless. There isn't much to do or see while riding on your motorcycle from mission to mission. The missions, however, are very fun and exciting. The boss fights are carefully planned out and done very well.

Pros- Boss Fights, Art Style, Tons of character customization
Cons- Boring world, Many glitches, Bad hit detection while driving, mandatory mini games that are more a hassle than fun.

Warning to parents: This game is the most mature game on the market. Blood literally explodes out of killed enemies covering your entire view. There is are tons of sexual references and foul language (every word in the book) frequent. This game really isn't for any children.

Very cool game. Fun, innovative, and makes a great use of the wiimote. From adjusting your stance, to dealing final blows, to answering your cellphone (good use for that little speaker) it combines normal controller commands with the motion sensor in a good way. The game does get repetitive but is well worth the price.

No More Heroes is the ultra-hip surge of energy the Wii needed.

With an awesome lead protagonist and great swashbuckling game play, No More Heroes is a must-have for all Wii owners looking for something other than the typical MarioKart or WiiSports.

One thing that could have been improved is the "open world" style of game between the missions. The motorcycle controls well, but it's like your driving through a model of a dead city. Nothing to do!

Besides that, what a fun game!

And I received the game within three days! Much earlier than Amazon said it'd be deliver. Great service!

Inspiring

I'm an old school RPG gamer and still working on games from the early 90's. This is one of the first next-gen games I gave a shot, partially because of the price and partially because of the reviews.

Let's just say, to me, this game is amazing. I would like to disagree with the critical reviews in every way.

The graphics work great for the game; they are an anime style most people will enjoy. The shading is also very colorful contrary to the reviews.

The level of gore IS a lot more extreme than Resident Evil or House of the Dead, both of which I played long before this game. Also there is a lot of cussing....

The game play is much more complex than flinging the remote around. You attack high and low, you stun high and low, you recharge your weapon, you block high and low, you dodge enemy attacks high and low, you use finishing moves, and you use throwing moves. The controls are simple, but when you play long enough, battle is a complex and rewarding experience.

The game, in general, is about the main character wanting to become the best assassin. He is the 11th best assassin and must kill the top 10 to be the best. The boss battles are the 10 top assassins and there are plenty of enemies in between. Between boss battles you need to complete missions and earn money. With the money you can train and develop your character.

Over all, this game is a lot of fun, complex combat, good story and dialog, and tons of gore. I would recommend this to any fan of action games.
