His name is Travis Touchdown and he has a Beam Katana. Need I say anymore?
Nintendo Wii
Story --- Protagonist Travis Touchdown is hired by a woman in a bar to kill "the drifter." Upon doing this assassination, Travis has ranked 11th in the UAA, and the mysterious woman offer to "do it" with Travis once he ranks 1st in UAA.
Graphics --- No More Heroes offers some great cel shading in this game, although this game looks more like a last gen game. The cel shaded showering blood is very comical.
Sound --- I have to say that No More Heroes offers a superb voice acting, and a killer soundtrack.
Controls --- Travis's main weapon is a beam katana that was won on an online auction site, and you control this katana with the Wii-mote. Unlike many games out on the Wii where a sword is your main weapon, No More Heroes isn't just a continuous Wii-mote shaker. Instead you mash the "A" button until an arrow appears on the screen for you to swing the Wii-mote in that directions in order for Travis to swing the katana. This action is also used for the wrestling moves but instead of the "A", you mash the "B" button.
Game Play --- No More Heroes offers an open ended world between ranked matches. This allows Travis to get a part time job to pay for your next match. These jobs are mini games that you complete for pay, but in order to keeping the game from getting stale, you also take on payed assassination jobs. Once these are completed these become free missions, which are a little difficult to complete. Also in the open world you can train to build strength, buy clothes to wear, buy movies to learn new wrestling moves, and buy new weapons to fight with.
Over All --- When your targeting an enemy (hold the "Z" button down) you can rest the camera position (tapping the "C" button) and your off screen, this doesn't happen often but it is aggravating when it does. Another problem is the showering blood blocks your view when fighting and you seem to take a hit, but again this isn't often. Now that I got the bad out of the way, I have to say that this game is awesome! No More Heroes pays a great homage to Star Wars, that right Dark Star (Darth Vader or Death Star) who looks like Darth Vader tells Travis that he is his father. Also in the Beef Head Video Store there is a poster that looks like Episode 2. With a superb soundtrack, excellent controls, great humor, and just a good amount of WOW factor, No More Heroes is a must have for any Wii onewr!
