 An Extremely Strong Flavor June 9, 2008

As the reviews here prove, this is a game you will either love or hate. It's over-the-top with style - punk style. Some don't seem to realize that the lack of fine gloss is an intentional part of that style, but oh well. I wouldn't force it on anybody, but it would be a crying shame if it doesn't find it's audience.
The gameplay is as follows:
1. Take a menial job to earn money - these are quick mini-games which are hilarious and fun. This will open up
2. Carry out an assassination job - hack and slash w/in set parameters, time limits, etc.
3. Once you have enough money take on a boss (after you hack and slash your way through his identical henchmen)
You can also buy upgrades to clothes/equipment/abilities etc. in ways that can also be fun and hilarious. People complain about the "dead" city, but I enjoy just driving around - there's a lot of detail to see, in-jokes etc. You can dig up treasure, kick open dumpsters, search back alleys, and so forth.
Overall, this is a tribute to videogames of all kinds. The "feel" of it is closest to Viewtiful Joe, though I can't entirely explain why. The combat is described as button-mashing, but if you read the manual you can see that it is deeper than that - you'll need the extra technique to beat higher difficulties.
Generally, I try to enumerate things that might bug people, but here it's impossible - either the whole thing will quickly annoy and frustrate you to madness, or you'll eat it up like candy.

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.

This game is definately not worth 50 bucks. The controls are terrible. The game itself becomes boring and repetitive very quickly. At first the blood and guts (coins?) looks cool but without fun gameplay even that gets tired. I expected so much more than this.

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!

I like this game to a point, but it DOES want to be the next Grand Theft Auto, whether the developers or fans want to admit it. The problem is that the "hub" city is boring as hell. It's desolate (which is kind of cool), but there's not much to do (which is NOT cool). The fights are fun, but it seems like you have to go through a lot of b.s. just to get into a decent fight. I've been playing it on and off for a couple months, but - in the end - my feeling about this game is that I just don't care if I finish it or not. It pretty much makes me wish I was dead already.
