![]() ![]() There are three main swords in the game, and they are all quite different and viable, so you can choose the one that best suits your style. Doing so looks cool, adds variety to the moves, and helps you break stalemates with the occasional blocking enemy. Motion control is utilized in one more, very subtle way: Travis changes his stance depending on how you hold the Wii Remote, so you can quickly switch between high and low attacks in the midst of a combo. The combination of control styles and the pacing between the two is strangely satisfying. The game cleverly avoids motion fatigue by using standard button presses for regular attacks and reserving simple gestures for killing blows and wrestling moves. Travis fights with an upgradeable beam sword that looks and sounds very cool, and it slices through bad guys with exaggerated blood sprays as your reward. The combat is simple and repetitive, yet very addictive. Whether it's in small-time fights or ranked assassin missions, most of the game is spent fighting. These events are also short, but they are entertaining and tend to pay big bucks. The odd jobs play out like mini-games, and although they aren't much fun and don't pay well, they do unlock unranked assassinations. Travis needs to pay fees to enter each ranked fight, and most of the required money is earned by completing odd jobs and small-time assassinations. The strange and somewhat funny part is that the game gleefully acknowledges that this content is filler and nothing but. Between these missions, there is a significant amount of filler content. One of the great thrills in this game is experiencing a new ranked mission, because the boss battles are so unpredictable and always interesting. These enemies are contained in short action levels, though the natures of these levels vary dramatically. No More Heroes does have normal enemies leading up to the ranked assassin fights, but they are good preparation for the big battles. ![]() The best comparison is Shadow of the Colossus, a game that prides itself on a total lack of filler content between boss battles. Not many games are so upfront about their structure and length. There's nothing else quite like it on the Wii or any other system, and for older, core Nintendo gamers, No More Heroes is a rare treat. ![]() This is an in-your-face action game with buckets of blood, more swearing than a typical R-rated film, and a garish blend of Japanese and American cultural references. Travis has just one goal in life: to become the top-ranked assassin, which will in turn get him laid by the beautiful and possibly psychotic Sylvia. No More Heroes starts off with a bang, as Travis Touchdown glazes over the past few days of his life and then drives his motorcycle right into the estate of the #10 assassin in the world. ![]()
