Please excuse me if there's already a thread for this game. I searched but I didn't see anything on the forums.
The game I'm talking about is No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii. It was just officially released in the USA on January 22, 2008. Anyone else heard of it or has played it? I'm interested in hearing other opinion on it.
For those who haven't heard of anything about it, here is a trailer for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGtgqw3IsVI
Basically the premise of the game is your an assasin and you want to become the #1 ranked assasin in the US, so you obviously have to beat/eliminate the higher ranked assasins.
The fighting system is relatively easy to pickup and understand but it's still not an easy breezy game (especially the bosses near the end). When not fighting the ranked assasins, it has a very beat em up feel to the game. There's also a free mode, which kinda feels like GTA, where you can ride around town on your bike picking up jobs.
It's all done in 3D with cell-shaded textures and it has a very retro-gamer and overall japanese overtones in the game. At times it can seem to try to be artsy-fartsy, but I think overall it was done very well.
I just beat the game in about 10 hours but I had a ton of fun and there's a lot of comedy aspects to the game. I'm actually gonna play through the higher difficulties now because there's a lot of little things left to do.
