Psst! Hey, buddy. Yeah, you. Over here. You look like the enterprising type. I think I got just the job for you. I want you to keep an eye out for the one they call Travis Touchdown. He's a real slick customer, and he's the star of the game No More Heroes.
Y'see, it all started when he won a beam katana off of eBay, and he inadvertently took out an assassin named Helter Skelter. As it turns out, old Mr. Skelter was ranked as number eleven in the United Assassins Association, which instantly put Mr. Touchdown on the chart. But, y'see, that got 'im into the game, and he decided he wanted to be number one. And his only method of achieving that ambitious goal was to take out the top ten, one by one.
But that's not the whole story. It's money that makes the world go 'round, my friend. Contracts for these assignments have to be bought, so Mr. Touchdown cruised around Santa Destroy on his motorcycle looking for odd jobs to pay the bills. They ain't glamorous, but they pass the time.
What's that? You wanna know about Mr. Touchdown's fighting style? Normally that kind of info would cost ya, but you got an honest face. You see, the controls are pretty traditional, but under certain circumstances, the Remote's motion sensitivity comes into play. Say, you might stun and opponent and get the chance to pull some wrastlin' maneuvers. Or you can use finishing moves that are, shall we say, a little excessive. It's not as frivolous as it sounds. In fact, you might even find it satisfying.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. There's a guy named Suda 51 who they say is runnin' this show. He was the brains behind a little game from a few years back on the GameCube called Killer 7. You'd know his style anywhere. No More Heroes uses the same cell shaded graphical style, and it's filled to the brim with sharp satire and extreme violence. It really lends personality to the experience. Just keep the kids outta the room while you're playin'.
I think you know what I'm sayin' here. No More Heroes is a truly unique gaming experience. It's got lots of action, a big city to roam around in, lots of mini-games, and a slick style. You'd do well to give this one a look. Just watch your back. Mr. Touchdown don't take no prisoners.
