Manufacturer's Description:
When big time loser Travis Touchdown runs into smokin' hot chick Sylvia Christel at the Death Match Bar, he gets more than he bargained for. Wiping out a drifter for starters, it isn't long before Travis is ranked 11 in the United Assassins Association's league of hit men. With a price on his head now, there's only one way to go "" all the way to number 1.
Equipped with a cool selection of beam katanas as his weapon of choice, the funkiest motorbike on the planet and a desperate need to be the number 1, No More Heroes sees Travis Touchdown crash through stage after stage of the biggest, bad ass adversaries the town of Santa Destroy can throw at him. As Travis says, "It's game time!"

The spiritual sequel to Killer 7, No More Heroes shares a striking visual style, but is also very hit and miss.
The game is essentially a free roamer, starring an impressively named Travis Touchdown who aims to be the best hitman in the town.
He does this by earning enough cash to arrange the next 'meet'. This can be done by completing side jobs, or assassination missions in Santa Destroy.
These side jobs are impressively varied mini-games.
Litter picking, lawn mowing, pest control, motorbike daredevil and graffiti remover are some of the jobs available as the game progresses.
Sadly the game gets into a groove, that; excluding a few quirky moments (the game turns into a scrolling side shooter at ... Read More:

No More Heroes is a shiny gem in the third-party swamp of mediocrity of the Wii's library. The action is incredibly addictive, the satirical plot is excellent and the soundtrack is very suited to the game.
The plot follows antisocial otaki Travis Touchdown, an avid japanophile gamer who buys a beam katana and decides to become the #1 assasin in the world after inadvertantly killing #11.
The gameplay is simplistic and fun. The main gameplay is in the assasination missions, where you must run around in a specific map killing everything that moves. TO that end, you use the beam katana. Hammering A slices, and to perform a death strike you swing the Wii Remote in a specific direction. Very simple, very fun.

leaving censorship aside which seems to be the main reason behind other low score reviews for this game, the game is essentially mindlessly repetitive and gets dull rather quickly. The graphics really are rather poor, the in game map resembles something from an early 90's tile game and this makes using it quite difficult. The same weapon is used for all fights which relies on rapid button mashing until your enemies are dead. The rather dull fight sequences are seperated by small jobs which again rely largely on press button repeatedly until your time runs out. Not enough variation to keep the game interesting.

I have been a subscriber to the offical nintendo magazine for a while now but mainly play PC titles. so arfter reading sevral excilent reviews of the game in my rusted mag, i wnet and brought it as an atempt to get back into my WII. unforchantly this game really did not do it for me. my biggest anoyance was that the driving IS POINTLESS. only one driveable vecile and you CANT CRASH INTO OTHER CARS (you just get pushed around them) now because it is nessasery to drive basicly everywhere this really iritated me. secondly as with most wii games coming out there is un-need use of the wiis motion sensors. so i really dont see the need in shaking a tree for coconuts. but the sensors could have been used really well if used to properly weil the sword but ...

Comes across like a pretentious film that thinks it's a lot cleverer and more cutting edge than it actually is.
Combat is ok, but gets very repetitive, the city you explore is pretty dull and the jobs you have to do aren't much fun.
The storyline and dialogue is pretty juvenile and doesn't make you interested in the characters or plot, and the whole thing just isn't that exciting, just endless hacking and slashing of hundreds of carbon-copy baddies till you reach the end boss - gameplaywise not much more evolved than a game like Fighting Force on the PS1 (though to be honest the combat on that was possibly slightly more fun) apart from the addtion of some slick graphics and the illusion of a bit of free-roaming until you trigger the start ...
