You are Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak) who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1. No More Heroes takes place in the city of Santa Destroy, and you are free to explore the town to your liking, taking on missions large and small to collect money and purchase new weapons as you work up towards the 10 main killing contracts. Gameplay is all about using your Beam Katana (via Wii remote) to defeat enemies.

Hipster game requires lots of wrist arm movement:
Lack of seriousness of the game and crazy wrist and arm movement is what turned me off to this game. I bought this game because of Gamespot's somewhat high review. The graphics are like Cel Shading.
I don't judge games on graphics but game play and immersion.
This game is Wii shovelware that trys to take advantage of wireless controls. You need to shake the controller for every kill in this game encounter which is ridiculous . Save your 08 Christmas money...
Some will love, Some will hate:
This game's biggest draw is it's style. It's very anime based. I've watched a few anime series like Cowboy Beebop, Samurai Champloo, and Outlaw Star but I'm not a die hard anime fan and I still enjoyed this game. It's dialogue, story, graphics and even some of the gameplay is very original. It's very violent and the humor is extremely crude. On the gameplay side, it can get very repetitive and I didn't like the graphics very much. I understand it's anime inspired but it looks like bad anime. I enjoyed this... more info
Suda51 hits again:
No More Heroes is another game from Grasshopper Mfg and quirky developer Suda 51. You play as Travis Touchdown, a professional Otaku Assassin trying to become number 1. The game is excellent overall. The fighting is engaging, the boss battles are a blast, and the script is sharp and entertaining. The only downside is that the downtime between these ranked assassination gigs can be dull at times, depending on particular circumstance. Luckily, none of them ever last too long and even the most tedious... more info
No More Heroes is a blast!:
I absolutely love this game. It's quirky, fun, and I can't think of anything I didn't like about it. I didn't have an issues with the control scheme. I loved the look of it.
