bit-tech Shopping: Mastertronic No More Heroes (Wii)

£17.93 from 1 seller

"No More Heroes tells the story of Travis Touchdown, an anim fan who lives in the fictional town of Santa Destroy, California. After an unexpected turn of events, Travis finds himself being approached by the head hunter of an assassins' organisation. Travis is challenged to prove himself worthy by defeating ten other bloodthirsty killers - all with deep stories of their own - to make his way to the top of the assassins' league. No More Heroes realises the dream of Wii players everywhere as they can wield the Wii Remote to swing the beam katana and perform spectacular wrestling moves. Suda 51's creation features avant-garde graphics which will thrust players into a stylised world filled with edgier gameplay. Taking its lead from the silver screen, the storyline is riddled with laugh-out-loud violence, black humour and irony-filled dialogue. No More Heroes is a multi-sense video game experience: dark, engaging and pure entertainment!"

bit-tech Review

"No More Heroes isn’t a perfect game at all and it has some very identifiable problems which occasionally put players off. Given that the appeal of the game lies in blind-siding the player with off-beat humour and wit, it also may not be suitable to everyone and once you’ve got to grips with it then you may find it a tad tiresome if you’ve not got the same sense of humour as the writers.

No More Heroes is an excellent example of how an eccentric character design and storyline can compensate for some technical failings though and the combination of bizarre characters and striking presentation really do make the mini-games and such a minor concern at best. If you’ve been looking for a more adult game to play on your Wii then No More Heroes should come highly recommended." - 22nd March 2008
