Mixed Feelings w/No More Heroes...

Just bought no more heroes for the wii yesterday, and after and hour of playing it , I couldnt believe how repetive it was. The same sword motions and chops over and over again. Also has a somewhat eratic framerate I noticed. Does this game get better as it goes on, like more weapons or something? If not im going to have to return it.:(

You pretty much nailed it in the head.

The story is very good and worth the reduced price of admission.

It's still a rubbish title when it comes to gameplay and overall polish though

I disagree.

I stopped playing it all together cause of the gameplay and the graphics kind of suck Serraph105

I thought the graphics were terrific.

They went for an early 90's/Virtua Fighter style of blocky squares

ug they literaly hurt my eyes after looking at them for long periods of time

I had mixed feelings too, the boss fights are awesome and the visuals have a cool pixel feel to it. The negatives for me was the repetitive gameplay and the storyline. The ending made me go WTF, hopefully the sequel will answer my questions. hathejoker

those but i enjoyed the story.

that cocky attitude and his apathy to just kill people to be the number one assasian is great. kinda shallow but still great.

I don't know how far you are in, but the boss fights are darn good and require strategy, not just mindless A-pressing. I died repeatedly and very quickly on quite a few of the fights until I figured out how to counter their attacks and what to do in general.

To me, the "repetition" of fighting was no big deal, and was actually quite fun. Would it have made a difference to you if they'd mapped high attacks to one button and low attacks to another and you could alternate between pressing one button or the other like in different games?

The weapons get upgraded, and the wrestling moves you can do get more and more elaborate. There are also special modes that get activated by the casino slot machine-thingy, wherein you end up killing enemies in different ways (like aiming at them or hitting the correct button for extremely gory and cool fatalities.)

I'd say play a little longer before you return it.

nmh style > nmh graphics

I had no problem with teh gameplay; it was oh so satisfying to decapitate and plow through all the enemies in a level/mission. I liked to pull off all of Travis's moves and wrestling techniques. The story was interesting and the characters were certainly interesting as well. The style of the visuals was pretty cool-looking, IMO.

I really enjoyed NMH.

Metroidfood love your sig hahaha. More weapons eh, maybe I shall keep it.soxfreak42

that's like saying megaman 9 sucks cuz it's 8 bit

anyway, i have this game, still havent beat it yet, but i love this game, maybe more than okami, because this game is just funny and gory.

and charging the beam katana is just fun. :)

I loved NMH.

There were some notable flaws, but it was still great.

you can return games? I wish I would have returned that game.

it doesn't get better (well i quit after the 4th boss)

wow, wii has helped us move away from button mashers, but not with NMH. i regret buying that game.

Was anyone actually grossed out at some point by the over-the-top violence? I have to admit, I felt a bit queasy after watching the final cutscene after defeating the magician boss guy, even though it doesn't have a realistic style .clicketyclick

I cringed. It was like watching gluttony and knowing that it will end but not until he dies.

Of course, I love NMH; and my taste is pretty unique; so I've come to grips that a lot of people should not play this game.

With the way prices have dropped, I would recommend picking up something you prefer over something you got hyped for.

I didn't think the violence was too gruesome.The cell-shaded,cartoon-like nature of it really softened the impact,and I've seen much more brutal deaths in Suda 51's previous project,Killer7.

If you were talking to me specifically in that reply... don't get me wrong; I enjoyed the game. It was just a little much for me at some points but I don't think that in any way cheapened the game or lessened the experience.
