 An excellent example of excellent gameplay July 22, 2008
Jared Sol (England)
No More Heroes is a shiny gem in the third-party swamp of mediocrity of the Wii's library. The action is incredibly addictive, the satirical plot is excellent and the soundtrack is very suited to the game.
The plot follows antisocial otaki Travis Touchdown, an avid japanophile gamer who buys a beam katana and decides to become the #1 assasin in the world after inadvertantly killing #11.
The gameplay is simplistic and fun. The main gameplay is in the assasination missions, where you must run around in a specific map killing everything that moves. TO that end, you use the beam katana. Hammering A slices, and to perform a death strike you swing the Wii Remote in a specific direction. Very simple, very fun.
Since this has to be concise, let me phrase it this way - this game is fun. Very very fun. Buy it. Now.
 Repetitive and dull July 9, 2008
I. P. Baughen (Bristol, UK)
leaving censorship aside which seems to be the main reason behind other low score reviews for this game, the game is essentially mindlessly repetitive and gets dull rather quickly. The graphics really are rather poor, the in game map resembles something from an early 90's tile game and this makes using it quite difficult. The same weapon is used for all fights which relies on rapid button mashing until your enemies are dead. The rather dull fight sequences are seperated by small jobs which again rely largely on press button repeatedly until your time runs out. Not enough variation to keep the game interesting.

I have been a subscriber to the offical nintendo magazine for a while now but mainly play PC titles. so arfter reading sevral excilent reviews of the game in my rusted mag, i wnet and brought it as an atempt to get back into my WII. unforchantly this game really did not do it for me. my biggest anoyance was that the driving IS POINTLESS. only one driveable vecile and you CANT CRASH INTO OTHER CARS (you just get pushed around them) now because it is nessasery to drive basicly everywhere this really iritated me. secondly as with most wii games coming out there is un-need use of the wiis motion sensors. so i really dont see the need in shaking a tree for coconuts. but the sensors could have been used really well if used to properly weil the sword but allas all the movements do is change your stance from low to high.
in the end i am very disapointed in this game arfer the amount of hype i have herd. if it were not for super smashbros brawl coming out soon i would have sold me Wii.
Nothing special May 14, 2008
NP (UK)
Comes across like a pretentious film that thinks it's a lot cleverer and more cutting edge than it actually is.
Combat is ok, but gets very repetitive, the city you explore is pretty dull and the jobs you have to do aren't much fun.
The storyline and dialogue is pretty juvenile and doesn't make you interested in the characters or plot, and the whole thing just isn't that exciting, just endless hacking and slashing of hundreds of carbon-copy baddies till you reach the end boss - gameplaywise not much more evolved than a game like Fighting Force on the PS1 (though to be honest the combat on that was possibly slightly more fun) apart from the addtion of some slick graphics and the illusion of a bit of free-roaming until you trigger the start of the next mission.
Excellent cult classic title April 24, 2008

I admit that I had looked forward to this game for a long time but I tried not to be biased when playing it. However, the game blew away my expectations from the get go, the fight system is excellent, fun, but also surprisingly deep at times, not just button mashing for the sake of it. It features probably the best cutscenes, acting, storyline, humour and adult themes of any Wii game to date as well. Yes, this European version has had the blood removed, but given the fact that Manhunt 2 was so recently and publicly banned in this country that isn't really a surprise. However, I don't feel you actually lose anything by losing the gore. The game has a very surreal and comical approach anyway, and is very aware of itself as a game, frequently breaking the fourth wall and cutting out the usual flab of other games that feature cutscenes (most notably the horrendous cutscenes in MGS games). The only downside to this game is that at times the graphics seem very dated, and the frame rate occassionally dips too. But overall this game is excellent and truly belongs in any Wii gamers collection.
