EASILY the best wii game.
Anyways, the game begins quite quickly revealing the main character with the laughable name of Travis Touchdown, a lazy loser otaku obsessed with some anime about 3 witches who wins a beam sword off an internet auction. From the beginning you can tell the creators were not being serious with the story, and that is part of what helps this game achieve greatness. Travis quickly meets a Woman named Sylvia who promises to "Do him" if he reaches rank 1 of an assassins league. He takes the challenge needless to say.
So that's about the extent of the story I can reveal, I don't want to spoil anything. The controls are quite basic A is swing, use the wii remote to switch between high and low stances and when an enemy has had it use the wii remote to chop em right in half. The controls work really well for this game, and I think you'll have a hard time finding anything to complain about.
The sound is the major down point for me. I don't think its my sound system but feel free to PM me if I am wrong. For whatever reason the sound all throughout the game sounds as though it was recorded in a really cheap audio booth. It has a weird echo like effect to it, and while I think its a bit irritating at first I stopped noticing after 10 minutes or so.
The graphics for the main games fighting scenes and levels are spectacular. The cel shaded graphics work fantastically for the game and the blood and gore looks incredibly surreal. It has an interesting art style which for me never really got old. The city unfortunately doesn't look so incredible. It seems to show the wii's hardware limits perhaps, thankfully, you won't be seeing a whole lot of the city and when you do it will often be traveling.
All in all the game was a rush. The fights were awesome, the story was funny and everything has a bit of personality. Every boss has their own personality and it really makes this title an interesting play, best of all its a bargain bin title now. For $20, this game is a great addition to your wii collection.
