Is this game also a smash hit? Or will it be No More?! Let's find out.
Story- The story is about a badass name Travis Touchdown, who is a huge otaku and a wrestler fan, and how he got a beam katana (Basically a lightsaber) from an online auction. With the Beam katana he decides to become an assassin in the UAA (United Assassins Association) with the help of the mysterious UAA agent Sylvia Christel, in order to pay off movies and other stuff. With him killing and gaining the 11th rank in the UAA, he has ten more battles in order to become number 1. The whole game revolves around Travis getting to the top of the UAA and a lot of Travis's background is reveal during it. It's a new story on the wii with some twists into it making it an excitement to finish it. (9.0)
Gameplay- You play the game in a third-person view able to move Travis using the nunchuck and attacking by pressing the A button. Also Travis lives in a free-roaming environment in his town, but there's not much to do since the game takes most of the time in the fighting stages. In order to reach those stages you will need to get money by doing odd jobs or small assassination jobs which is all you can do in town other than shopping for clothes, getting a even cooler beam katana, or learn a new move/raising stats. Getting new katana doesn't change the way you play but it does incrase range of attack and looks pretty cool. As for getting new moves and gaining higher stats is as easy as buying a wrestling moving and working out at your sensei's place. That's basically it for the town o and the only other fun thing you can do is ride your motorcycle (Which is hard to control at first but after a while is awesome) and use it to make cool drifts. The gameplay takes control of the wii's motion control and incorporates it correctly. If you hold the wii remote in a certain position then Travis's fighting stance is change for attacking enemies that are defending a high or low attack. You also use the motion control to either finish an opponent by swinging it down to cut an opponent or by doing a super-cool wrestling move. The only bad thing is that the nunchuck doesn't respond some of the times so it's a complete pain in the butt sometimes and a major pain when you're fighting a certain boss. Boss fighting are a fun and challenging time since each boss has their own fighting style and personality. To get to them you will have to reach them at the end of their certain battle stage (Shocker isn't it?). The stages are diverse with different and harder enemies in each one. The game has a good time getting the difficulty correctly. (9.0)
Music- The music works nicely with the game although you may not pay attention to it at times since there is so much killing going on throughout the stages and a lot of CPU's and sounds of them yelling in pain. (8.0)
Design- The design looks pretty good for the wii and the incorporate a lot of the color red for blood. (9.5)
OVERALL: (9.0)
