An Extremely Strong Flavor
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewNo More Heroes
As the reviews here prove, this is a game you will either love or hate. It's over-the-top with style - punk style. Some don't seem to realize that the lack of fine gloss is an intentional part of that style, but oh well. I wouldn't force it on anybody, but it would be a crying shame if it doesn't find it's audience.
The gameplay is as follows:
1. Take a menial job to earn money - these are quick mini-games which are hilarious and fun. This will open up
2. Carry out an assassination job - hack and slash w/in set parameters, time limits, etc.
3. Once you have enough money take on a boss (after you hack and slash your way through his identical henchmen)
You can also buy upgrades to clothes/equipment/abilities etc. in ways that can also be fun and hilarious. People complain about the dead city, but I enjoy just driving around - there's a lot of detail to see, in-jokes etc. You can dig up treasure, kick open dumpsters, search back alleys, and so forth.
Overall, this is a tribute to videogames of all kinds. The feel of it is closest to Viewtiful Joe, though I can't entirely explain why. The combat is described as button-mashing, but if you read the manual you can see that it is deeper than that - you'll need the extra technique to beat higher difficulties.
Generally, I try to enumerate things that might bug people, but here it's impossible - either the whole thing will quickly annoy and frustrate you to madness, or you'll eat it up like candy.
