GameSpy has their review up for No More Heroes and it’s garnered a respectable 4/5 stars. I expect No More Heroes to be one of those games like Zack and Wiki that sadly won’t sell as many copies as it truly should. From everything I’ve seen and heard, NMH is a quirky title with some very cool gameplay elements paired with a rather unique yet appealing graphical style that combine to form a must own Wii game in my book.
Here’s a couple of snippets from their review:
he most coherent way to describe NMH (other than “on something”) is that it resembles “Kill Bill” in regard to plot and a pint-sized San Andreas in execution. As Travis Touchdown, you’ll work your way up a list of targets in the California town of Santa Destroy on your way to becoming the best hitman in the world… that is, when you’re not living the lifestyle of a hopelessly pervy otaku. You’ll also be armed with the Katana Beam, a light-sword that should have George Lucas speed-dialing his lawyers.
…
the game glows with style, even if it’s got quite a few poop and sex jokes. The visuals have a cel-shaded motif, but it’s not laid on quite as thick as killer7. All of the violence is completely over-the-top in its stylishness; as Travis dismembers the legions of anonymous villains, geysers of arterial spray and coins shoot from their bodies. We’re not fans of the pop-up as he drives around Santa Destroy, which could possibly be worse than in the GTA games. Otherwise, there’s no argument that the unique graphical style is among the best you’ll see on Wii this year.
No More Heroes should be available as early as today, is anyone going to be picking this one up?

I’m on the fence about this one, leaning more towards the “will purchase” side. I might wait for a few more reviews, specifically from 1UP, but the GameTrailers review seemed quite honest and decided to give it a low 8. I’ll need more info (ideally some “hands-on” time, perhaps a rental), before making a final decision.

I’ll be picking this one up as soon as I complete the horde of games I still haven’t beat yet:
- Zack and Wiki
- RE:UC
- Manhunt 2
But after that, its No More Heroes time.

Not that I really have to defend where I get my gaming news from, but Shane Bettenhausen had one game on his list for Game Of The Year 2007, and that was Super Mario Galaxy. They gave Twilight Princess a 10, and Super Mario Galaxy a 9.5. I’m not participating in your grammatically crippled and fact-skewing argument. I recommend trolling elsewhere.
