PLAY NO MORE HEROES

by Chris Remo, Jan 27, 2008 11:39pm PST

Related Topics – No More Heroes,

I will write more, hopefully today, but for now let me just say: please go and purchase Grasshopper Manufacture's just-released Wii brawler, No More Heroes. Director Goichi Suda (aka Suda 51) has stated his concern that the Wii audience is entirely comprised of casual gamers, but he just released this game, so if you are looking for something badass on the system having already played Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, you have no excuse not to play this and prove him wrong.

This game is violent, creative, insane, and a bona fide video game explosion. Like I said, I will write more later--currently, however, I am thoroughly and violently engrossed in No More Heroes.

I don't own a Wii (mainly because there are only 2 games worth playing, which you mentioned, also because of $$), but your massive hyping affects me anyway.

Will you put up a movie with some gameplay, I'm really curious how this looks. Killer7 didn't do anything for me, except checking if I accidently took some drugs that evening.

Also lol@tags, really subtle!

I'm waiting for the inevitable price drop or one-time bargain. Wii gamers might not all be uncles and grandmas, but we are cheap assholes.

I honestly thought this game looked retarded (awesomely so, but still not something I was interested in), but I'm seeing enough praise for it I may actually have to check it out.

How do the controls compare to MP3 and Zelda: TP? I know everyone here loved MP3, but I found it boring and stopped playing after about 8 hours in. That and the shitty recycled music was pissing me off to no end.

the game is very fun, although the save system sucks (have to return to your home, unless i'm missing something). surprisingly bloody, although that doesn't translate to 'gory' with the wii's (lack of) graphics.

the main character's dialog is seriously "lost in translation" or something, he sounds like a retarded tool every time he opens his mouth.

Is this game pretty much brawling the whole time? I like puzzles.

i didn't know it was made by the team who did killer 7, i never played that game but the stylish-ness of it always made me want to.

I heard no more heroes is a much better game though, is it as stylish and odd as killer 7?

Played it to the first boss...I can tell this is one game I will play to completion. At this point in the game, it seems like it's pretty much all combat, which is indeed fucking brutal and insane. Yes, the writing is cheesy as hell, but considering the game's origins, I'd say it kind of goes along with it's extremely eclectic style and overtone. I really dig the screens when you die, the color bar test thing and then a little loading screen. My buddy imported the PAL version of this and it really is completely different, instead of blood, black pixels swarm out of the enemy. The blood is key. I am looking forward to playing more. The way you kill the first boss is a level of brutality rarely seen in games these days.
