No More Heroes

<< < (6/8) > >>

Storm Rider:
My copy arrived from Amazon two days earlier than I was expecting! I am going to crack it open after I get back from the midterm I'm taking in half an hour. Unfortunately, I probably won't play it much before I get Culdcept Saga, because I have to write a paper tomorrow.

Johnny C:
This game is so far past ridiculous that it occasionally touches the other side - the boss death scenes are really bracing, for some reason. Still, utterly fantastic up to this point.

caseyyano:
No More Heroes is a pretty good game... Since I don't like writing paragraphs, here is a pro and con list and a bit of comments.

Pros:
Arcade influenced sound effects are very nice.
The combat system feels unique and killing people never felt more satisfying.
The cutscenes are insane, because the characters are insane.

Cons:
The girl is annoying. The moments before a boss battle get real annoying- these can't be skipped either. Only applies if you dislike English with a slutty French accent.
There's no exploration, the game is really straightforward. Don't let that GTA style atmosphere in the previews fool you.
The music, although excellent gets repetitive after awhile.
The upgrades don't do anything except make your sword stronger or use less energy with a minor exception that I won't reveal for spoiler reasons.
The game is about 11 - 15 hours long.

Comments:
There are lots of secret attacks. The game is a lot funner knowing these moves, you might want to look them up before you start playing. Though the Con list is really long... the game is worth playing if you're really into artsy things because the game features unique chars and weapons and the art style and blah blah blah. The game didn't seem good enough for me to want to get every single thing and I don't think there's a reward for getting a gold ranking on every mission and whatnot. If you could select boss battles after you beat the game that would've been cool... because that's what the game is all about. I'm a big fan of the costume design by Okama (http://okama.nicomi.com/) so that . That website is Japanese, so if you can't read it, just click around randomly.

This was a pretty long review. Go play it

pilsner:
The fact that you only get one try at the free fight missions and then have to wait for them to come back is beyond stupid.  Putting all those 8 bit graphical elements in a wii game was, on the other hand a stroke of genius.

caseyyano:
ahh shit, that's right. Those free fight missions... I wonder if there's a prize for getting gold on all the missions.
I beat the game twice now. Apparently I missed some cards or whatever and I can buy more t-shirts (woo?) otherwise it's just getting gold on those free fight missions. I think I enjoyed all there is to enjoy; I'm not the type to do painful tasks to earn small rewards. I am lazy.

Oh, if any of you like dressing in pink, you can dress in pink in that game. However, it'll cost you quite a bit to look flamboyantly homosexual (or metrosexual, I guess).
