Great combat inside of a slightly undercooked game

Pros Cons The combat system is very balanced and the game gives an adequate challenge without being unfair. It's really adrenaline rushing to swing your Wiimote to slay enemies and spill blood. The bo… Read more

Just brilliant

In No More Heroes:Heroes Paradise you play as Travis Touchdown an Otaku who's out of money and just won a Beam Katana on an online auction site. He decides to get money by entering the field of assass… Read more

In retrospect, not a good game at all

When it came out, many Wii fans were clamoring for more mature titles to offset the deluge of games aimed at family-oriented audiences. The fans were also hoping for a lightsaber game that uses the Wi… Read more

When it succeeds, No More Heroes will blow you away.

No More Heroes is a difficult game to review. On one hand its absurd sense of humor and fantastic boss fights are one of a kind, but on the other hand the game has some serious issues that can make it… Read more

Awesome Enough to Make Up for the Flaws

It's a 5-star game in my heart, but when I think about it, I have to take a few points from it. It's a Wii game, so the graphics aren't technically impressive compared to non-Wii games, but I loved th… Read more

Yes More Heroes

I remember a friend hype-ing this game when it was first out. Seemed like yet another generic anime fighter. Since that I've finished Killer 7 . Which is another game from same guy Suda51 (guy behind… Read more

Overrated

Every rose has its thorns. Of course, there are many people who love this game, but one would not be without good reason to dislike it. No more heroes has flaws which would turn some away. First, the… Read more

Style never beats substance.

LolJapan. No More Heroes was, at least to my knowledge, the Wii game to give the toilet-humor related console a fighting chance against the other consoles when it came to more darker, violent games. E… Read more

More Heroes, Please

Originally written February 20th, 2008. Unlike the other reviews I've been putting up recently, I've gone in and made some changes to this one. Making it better and more readable. No More Heroes is an… Read more

Don't Miss Suda51's Lucrative And Original Nintendo Wii Adventure

"Travis Touchdown: Otaku Hitman" is what the back of No More Heroes says boldly in Red letters. If that isn't enough to emphasise how lucrative Suda51's original Nintendo Wii adventure is then nothing… Read more

NMH Review

I'm just going to come right out and say it, I love No More Heroes. I especially loved the humour of the game. The hilarious dialog and antics by the main character Travis Touchdown give the game just… Read more

Suda's Best...For What That's Worth

For me, few producers are as criminally overrated as Suda 51. That Killer7 became a cult hit is just a demonstration that if something looks "different", quality is immaterial in the eyes of many. NMH… Read more

Killing for money - what could possibly go wrong?

No More Heroes is one of the few M-rated titles on the Nintendo Wii, and with good reason. It’s a comic-book inspired kill-fest splattered with ridiculous geysers of blood streaming from the enemies y… Read more

Wait what!? this game is coming out on the PS3? Crap!

No More Heroes did so many things right and yet got some major things wrong. Well not really, more like one major thing wrong. The game doesn’t need to be a open world sandbox game. It takes too long… Read more

No More Heroes was full of style and substance.

No More Heroes was a blast from start to finish. There were real surprises, huge laughs, and gory fun. Hack and Slashers tend to bore me towards the end, but this one didn't and it's twice as long as… Read more

...a flushing bleh

Played Through in Winter 09. So…you play as this dude…who has a serious case of IBS . And when he’s not playing “Catch the Fuzzy” with his little kitten Jeane… he’s decapitating goons with his online… Read more

Suda51 is the Japanese Tim Schafer

YOU SAVE BY TAKING A SHIT I was a big fan of the style, story and ambition of Suda51's first title on Gamecube and PS2: Killer 7 so I was watching out for this No More Heroes. Keep in mind I thought t… Read more

No More Open World

No More Heroes, in many respects, is an absolute failure. The graphics are technically sub-par, the open world is drab and ugly, and the story as a whole is largely disjointed. However, if you can loo… Read more

No More Heroes: Review

No More Heroes

Refreshing But A Bit Frustrating

There are parts of this game that you'll absolutely love - mainly the Boss battles. Those are all extremely polished and a lot of fun to play. I loved every minute of those. However, the game has a lo… Read more

Warning: No More Heroes may contain content that is innapropriate for everyone. Blood will flow. Strange sexual references will be made. Human limbs will littler the ground. It's pure, outrageous geni… Read more

The Epitome of Style

In the end, you'll come back for the combat...

Final Thoughts: No More Heroes

Bloody Fun

No More Heroes is a flawed game; I'll just get that out of the way. The graphics and gameplay could be a bit more polished, the story could be a bit more fleshed out, and Santa Destroy, the brilliantl… Read more

EXACTLY WHAT THE WII NEEDED!

Much has been made about the Wii being a "kids' toy", or a "party fad for the casual gamer", or even "a showcase for Nintendo's first party titles with extremely poor third party support." Well, I'll… Read more

Injects a much-needed dose of adult-oriented insanity to the Wii

No More Heroes for the Wii might at first glance appear to be nothing more than a sub-par Japanese approximation of the Grand Theft Auto series, with its small, shallow and glitchy open-world driving… Read more

No More Heores Review (Wii)

Like the last game from Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) and Grasshopper Studios Killer7, No More Heroes is a game that has style and weirdness to spare. However, unlike Killer7, Suda51 realized to get people… Read more

In your face edginess and repetition make this game a stinker

This game inspires a love/hate relationship

This game is fun, but its a difficult one to recommend to most people. Its a very back and forth type of game. As in, some parts are really cool, some parts are totally lame. Fighting with your laser… Read more

Kick off those brakes.

Every blue moon there comes a game that blows off the collective dust of unoriginality and breaks the mold. No More Heroes made a great attempt, but did it have the lung capacity to remove the moldy r… Read more
