No More Heroes

When big time loser Travis Touchdown runs into smokin' hot chick Sylvia Christel at the Death Match Bar, he gets more than he bargained for.  Wiping out a drifter for starters, it isn't long before Travis is ranked 11 in the United Assassins Association's league of hit men.  With a price on his head now, there's only one way to go – all the way to number 1.

Equipped with a cool selection of beam katanas as his weapon of choice, the funkiest motorbike on the planet and a desperate need to be the number 1, No More Heroes sees Travis Touchdown crash through stage after stage of the biggest, bad ass adversaries the town of Santa Destroy can throw at him.   As Travis says, “It's game time!”

If Suda Goichi (Suda 51) is marked as director of a game, you can be sure it'll be an exentric creation -- No More Heroes is no different. Travis Touchdown, your stereotypical otaku in all aspects, is seriously broken after purchasing a 'beam katana' (light saber) on the internet. A solution is offered once he meets the blondine Sylvia Christel; assassinating "the Drifter"/Helter Skelter doesn't only earn Travis lots of money, but also the eleventh position in the United Assassins Association (UAA). Travis is not satisfied with his low rank and opens the attack on the rest of the organisation, which contains blood thirsty killers.

From a banal perspective No More Heroes can be considered as a "bad Grand Theft Auto rip-off", made up of eleven boss fights, each connected by the flimsy looking city Santa Destroy. During fights, the A-button is used to fight with the beam katana, while the B-button makes Travis perform additional wrestling moves. On top of this, you can use 'death blows' (finishing moves) and Travis' 'Dark Side' mode. This rich system of actions will be expanded as the story progresses, so the gameplay doesn't get repetitive that easily. Both the main character and other assassins are tremendous well designed en presented in a cell shaded-style. The story is pretty complex -- if you're able to understand the depth of it, that is.

Verdict: If you're expecting a Grand Theft Auto-like game, you'd better search for other games; No More Heroes makes fun of the phenomena 'gaming' and uses various parodies from the cult scene to express this. No More Heroes offers an experience that will last longer than a single run from the beginning till the credits.

Un juego muy original, muy divertido, con un estilo propio y único, Travis Touchdown es muy molón! xDD
Esperando la segunda parte con muchas ganas, espero que sea igual de friki y otaku, o más incluso!!!

Gracias a Rising Star Games por hacer un buen trabajo con este título, gracias y a seguir así!! ♥

This game is one of the best games available for the Wii it has it's dull moments (like driving around the dull lifeless over world) but the story and characters are so well done you will forgive it's floors and fall immediately in love with this, the game is also hilarious complimented by some of the greatest voice actors the gaming industry has to offer including the almighty Robin Atkin Downes a truly marvellous British voice actor.

If you own a Wii and you don't own this game your missing out on a true gen in the Wii's library missing this game is like missing Super Mario Galaxy... Unthinkable.
