IGN - What you'll really be getting with No More Heroes is a stylistic offering very rare outside of Grasshopper Studios on Wii, or anywhere else for that matter.

The Reviews!

GameTrailers - 8.2/10

Super Concentrated ****and constant action makes No More Heroes an unmistakable original for the Wii. The game boldly wears both it's heart and its punk-rock attitude on its sleeve and manages a totally playable action control scheme for the Wii that uses the Wii-mote without abusing it... The killer vibe and amazing moments make this heroic effort worth checking out!

N-Gamer - 9.4/10

You've already showed your friends Super Mario Galaxy. It gave you the same feeling as when you saw Ridge Racer on the PSOne, or Super Mario 64 on N64, or Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast - games that you could stick on your telly and say "look - this is a brilliant, brilliant game." Well, No More Heroes is another game like that; something that will awe people.

Anywhere else and No More Heroes would still be hatstand chicken-punching bonkers, but nowhere else would it be so entirely at home than on the console with the crazy split-in-two controller and the arm-flapping games. Like the Wii, none of it should work, but like the Wii, everything does. Brilliantly.

The only real problem I see with this game is that in the videos of it, I don't see any people on the streets. It seems kind of baron and empty on the streets. Other than that though, this game does look awesome.AdRock92

there is some activity on the streets... but I think we all need to seperate this game from the normal GTA stlyle sandbox game where the meat of the game is on the streets. In this case... the meat of the game is taking down the assasins!

Meh... Still not that intrested...

I'll hold out until more reviews come out for the game, then I'll decide if I get it, rent it, or ignore it.

If it's half as good as the Godfather then it's a must buy for meSuperMario_46

It'll blow GF out of the water. >_>

I haven't been keeping up with this game very well. I'm starting to regret it. I've read a ton about it but I'm still a little confused. Is it a GTA type game? mixed with Manhunt? Can someone familiar with this game compare it to any other games?

Thanks!

I don't think I going to get it. The art style looks nice, and it seems like it might be pretty weird and funny. But to me the gameplay doesn't look that great. It seems to me like its a bunch of mini-games, with a story. But if the reviews are really good I might buy it... thats a big MIGHT though.BubbyJello

And you get that from what exactly,did you only watch the one video where he was using his sword like a baseball bat or something? Otherwise I dont know how you could be so confused. And to answer Hells_Hammer question, its not like any game before it, the closest you would find is Killer 7, but it even differs from that alot.

as a Killer7 fan, i have to buy this game!

I'm still not completely sold on it, but I will keep an eye on it for sure because it looks really interesting. It's out in Japan right...what kind of reviews is it getting there? Also, I still have to buy SSBB, I might not have money for it.

Well, there seems to be some good interest in this game! To answer some questions, the game incorperates an open world that has sadly been compared to GTA and laughed at. The game is actually more of a basic "get to the assasin at any cost and bring him down" type of game. It's quite simple... but satisfying. Along the way, you need to make money. And that is where the mini-games do come in. Mow lawns, fling cocunuts, and other minigames to make money. But once you have an entry fee... it's off to kill the assasin.

You can also stop by at a video store and pick up wrestling fliks to learn more moves. Or, you can play with your kitty, among other fun stuff at your appartment. To save, you sit down on a toilet and have some good down-time! There is blood, and partial nudity! So... have fun! ^__^

This is going to be the sleeper hit of 2008. I'll be buying it in March, though. ^_^LOLhahaDEAD

i agree... this is going to be the game people wish they had bought on release day

He sits on a toilet for what reason now? And there's nudity?! Next you'll tell me theres blood...gotdangit

I'm not confused at all. Its just that you do mini-games to get money. And then the combat looks to be alot of on-screen cues. So, to me, it seems like it is basically a mini-games collection with a story. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I don't see whats so great about this game. I mean a game that has violence, blood and partial nudity doesn't make it a great game. If you tell me what makes this game so great you might convince me to get it.lbjkurono23

it's the characters imo. That is what made Killer 7 so incredible. It also has the best sword fighting on Wii according to IGN. But this game really stands out in its presentation. It is such a blunt game and it may not make much sense... but it doesn't have to. I think it is something to treasure even if the gameplay is not amazing... it will still be good.
