Dripping with video game tropes, with nods to the audience at every turn, you’ll laugh your way through the manner in which Travis recharges his beam katana, or how you save your game by sitting on the toilet. While it will never win any awards for its visuals, No More Heroes is more about its art style. GRAPHICS: Given that No More Heroes was originally a Nintendo Wii title, it is a testament to how much work has been done to get Heroes’ Paradise up to scratch for the HD audience. There are plenty of twists and turns as the story plays out, but the game knows what it is, and never takes itself too seriously.
Travis doesn’t have much choice anyway, as after entering the top ten, he himself becomes a target for potential assassins below him in the rankings. After doing so, it appears Travis has entered the murky world of assassins (or more specifically the UAA, or United Assassins Association), and is now ranked number eleven, which isn’t good enough for him, and as he mentioned to you (the player), he wants to be the best. Right off the bat, Travis breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to the player, explaining how gamers are sick of convoluted games and that this game is simple he wants to be the best, and together you will achieve that.īasically, Travis has won a beam katana (the main weapon in the game) in an online auction, and has just met a salacious female in the form of Sylvia Christel, who convinces him to kill someone to earn some cash. STORY: You play as Travis Touchdown, a loner (cliche #1) who is desperate for sex (cliche #2) and loves video games and swordplay (cliche #3). Three years later, with the sequel already available for the Wii, this HD remix of the original title with PlayStation Move functionality looks to give a whole new breed of gamers a chance to experience No More Heroes, but is it still worthy of your attention? Players adored the lack of pretence and the sheer insanity that the title contained, in no small part thanks to the legendary Suda51.
Once a Nintendo Wii exclusive, released back in 2008 (in Europe), No More Heroes was somewhat of a cult hit. Developer: Feelplus (Originally developed by Grasshopper Manufacture)Īvailable on: PlayStation 3 (Original version on Wii)
