It's just okay. If you're looking for a great lst person adult violence game the Godfather Gold Edition is so much better. My husband loves Grand Theft Auto and after getting him Wii I searched high and low for the closest game to that which is how I came to purchase this. If anyone else is looking for a Grand Theft type game definitely go with Godfather ... it's actually really close but even a bit better. As for No More Heroes the weapon you used is called a "katana" which is basically a lightsaber. This is a little upsetting if you're a big Star Wars fan b/c it feels like a bit of a second grade rip off.

not good, not even close!

OK - this game is bad, real bad...as in not well made. The graphics are pretty nasty, yes "artistic" is one word, but the overall effect is that these guys were on a slim budget. Speaking of which, the budget must have been really small considering the amount of bugs this game has in it. Just try running around the city and messing with the physics of the main character and/or bike. I once got the bike caught on a curb, and seeing through walls...no problem...just walk up, move the camera, and x-ray vision thou shalt have! Bad level design, nothing to do in the city, just run...zzzzz. This game isn't even close to as interactive as GTA and that's not saying much, considering GTA could have been alot more interactive...but that's another story. Put it this way, if you run into someone with your bike, you get a gameboy era 'thud' sound and your bike stops, nothing happens to the pedestrian...nothing...they are solid like statue...or tree...or whatever...this sucks!

So whats good about this game...well the story is ok...just buthead humor...I guess its good if your entering your teens!? The concept is not new, the retro menus and sound effects are cool, but blocky and rushed looking. Ahhh....the control system....yes...thats why this game is supposed to be good...well again...not really...just repeatedly hit the A button over and over and over...oh yea you can adjust a high or low hit too...wow cool:-( Seriously - you can rent this game with no commitment. Defintely not one to keep in your collection. Sorry, but I really don't need anymore heroes.

Hope this review was helpful to you...save your bucks for the games that really deserve your hard earned dollars.

This Game is the closest thing your going to get to Grand Theft Auto.
Yes, it is true you can walk around/drive giant motor bikes and not damage anything, only fall off your bike) But there isn't much to do. The Game plays very linear and repeative Killing higher ranked people. The Game has lots of blood and gore and the animation is okay. The controls take 10 minutes to get used to and your off to killing anyone you can kill in your sights. The Game Goes like this
Play a Lot of mini games/side missions to earn cash
Pay and use all of your money
Kill someone
Repeat

The three best things
The Bike
The Killing
The Cat

Those are my thoughts about No More Heros

Great adult game for the Wii

The Wii has very few adult games. This is one the better if not the best one so far. The game play, while a bit repetative and not too clean graphicly, is always fun and involving. The story is really the best part of it. You fight to become the top ranked assassin, so you can "do it" with your liason Silvia. The game is a laugh riot. With jerking off your beam katana to recharge it, splitting your enemies in half to be showered in blood, and getting naked to train with your master. Not alot of thought involved, just your good old fashioned crude adult humor. A must have for those of you who "bought a Wii for the kids" and secretly play it when they go to bed.

This game is DA BOMB!!!!!!!!! ( In an excellent way)

This is the best 3rd party game I have played for WII. The graphics and storyline are done superb. No more heroes is one of the only adult theme games that is on the WII. Other games use violences meaninglessly to fill game contain but this game is not only of them. The control action of the WII remote and chuck is remarkable. If you like games with great plot and action than Heroes is a must. Get this game you will not regret it!!!!!

Great Game

this game is so whacky in its storyline and dialogue that it must have come from the minds of the great minds at ubisoft. fighting sequences are so violent and bloody but hella fun...especially when u nail a boss with a wrestling move. the side jobs u do to earn cash are so ridiculously mundane compared to the rest of the game that i cant help but laugh. seriously now...mowing the lawn and picking coconuts? lol. i love this game.

Weird But Fun and Addictive

It's a strange game. Lots of blood. It does get repetitive though. It goes through a formula and repeats it over and over. The combat is also pretty much the same. But the combat is fun, though redundant. The combat does not really evolve and introduce any new fighting concepts that you don't already know from the tutorial. The boss fights are interesting character-wise but gameplay-wise, nothing too interesting or different. I think that the boss are interesting-looking characters. There are some humorous parts. And the story is kinda confusing and weird which is pretty much what I expected given that it's Suda 51 (the man who did Killer 7)

If Quenton Tarantino made a video game this is what it would look like.

I loved the game all the way through. Great on many levels. So simple and yet has many tiny things most wouldn't notice till mentioned. The game is excellent. Stylish to the max

Mature? Not really, but still a ton of fun that shouldn't be missed if you own a Wii.

This was the mature action game that every Wii owner was waiting for, and while it may be quite what anyone expected, it is still one of the more solid and original action games available. If you're a Wii owner who is old enough to purchase this game, I'd say it's worth a rent at the very least.

The graphics may not be the most technically impressing, but they are certainly interesting. Some people may not appreciate the style Grasshopper decided to go with here, but I really like it. It's very colorful, and I would say different, but cel-shading has become somewhat common now. It was a good way to make a game look good without exposing the weak hardware of the Wii. On the more technical side, the load times are fairly quick, and not all that common thankfully. This keeps you in the action, the less downtime in this game the better. There's some really bad collision detection when driving, but it's absolutely fine when on-foot, which makes no sense to me. Some of the animations could have been done better as well, again mostly when driving. There aren't really any glitches or anything, but I have heard of people's games freezing, but I never experienced this.

The soundtrack is surprisingly good in this game. The songs are very catchy, if not a little repetitive. I actually downloaded the soundtrack once I finished the game. The voice work is another nice surprise, and is much better than initial trailers made it out to be. The sound effects themselves are pretty solid, nothing really spectacular but they do their job. Well, I take that back. The screams of your fallen enemies are pretty spectacular.

The game-play is by far the best part. It's very simple at it's core, but as you play more you learn to string together combos to interrupt your enemies and basically make it so they can't even hit them as you tear through them one by one. The finishing moves and wrestling moves are both very satisfying to pull off, but I like the dismemberment the finishing moves provide the best. By the way, this is a really gory game. You probably won't see more blood flying around on screen on another game ever. Keep in mind the blood doesn't look real at all, but I felt I should mention it to remind people that this game isn't for kids. It also contains a fair amount of swearing and some pretty suggestive scenes. For those of us that are old enough, this is all a good thing and is a nice escape from reality. As I mentioned before, the driving segments suck, but unless you want to take forever to get from location to location they're pretty much mandatory. The game is fairly easy up until the last 3 bosses, who can be quite a challenge. The storyline, while better than I was expecting it to be, is still pretty lackluster and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It is an action game though, and no one was truly expecting an engrossing story, just lots of blood, death, and fun, and this game provides it.

This game is just about having fun, pretty much what games were originally intended. I have a new respect for Suda-51 and those at Grasshopper who worked on this game. They know how to make fun games, plain and simple. They don't need fancy graphics or anything, they have what's most important: game-play.
