No More Heroes (Wii)

Travis touchdown is a man after my own heart. He's a perverted otaku who one day buys a beam katana (lightsaber) off ebay and decides to become an assassin. There's no sob story, no other motive, he kills because he wants to. Travis is convinced to become the number one assassin by killing off the 10 people above him. After playing so many rpgs where every little thing is analysed this somehow makes for a really refreshing story; he's in the game for the same reason you are - to have some fun and this game really is just that - its fun. The fighting mechanics are good but not perfect and are the only reason I didn't give this game the whole 5 stars. ...  Read the complete review

No More Heroes; Travis Touchdown certainly is not a Hero not by any Super Hero standards such as Superman or Spider-Man. In NMH you take on the role of Travis Touchdown, a perverted, manga reading, cat owning, bike riding, shades wearing, beam wielding wannabe bad-ass. The main mission in NMH is to ascend a ranking list of 10 fighters and eventually becoming number 1, there are numerous side missions disguised as part-time jobs and others which contribute to your overall mission and this makes the game elements pretty solid as you never feel like you are wasting time.

No More Heroes is a brilliant game all together. The idea of the game is to get your character to the top of the assassins list by killing off the assassins in front of you. This game has a mixture of retro and more new graphics. When you play the game, you have the Grand Theft Auto type of graphics. If you kill enough people and luckily get onto Dark Mode, you may end up going into a more retro mode where the music changes. Also when ever you go up a rank, the screen turns space-invaders like showing that you have went up a rank. This just makes the game even more interesting. The controls are reasonably simple but it is recommended that you take ...  Read the complete review
