Looking for a Wii game that is a little more geared towards an adult audience? No More Heroes thus far has been a great investment of a video game. Think of it as a mix of Kill Bill, Grand Theft Auto and Star Wars, all mixed into one. Oh yes, you can also save on a toilet.
The Basics – Kill Everybody!
The idea here is simple, You are Travis Touchdown and you are wandering through the fictional town of Santa Destroy, California killing people to move yourself up the list of the world’s best assassins. In your hand is your beam katana, which can be best described as something to fight with and probably as close as you can get to a light saber without being sued by George Lucas.
Once again, thumbs up for toilet- based saving! Yes – that is awesome indeed.
After Playing, What Do I Think?
I have only played through the first stage thus far (was battling to find the time to do so all last week!) but having done so, I am just itching to play some more, the unique look, innovative controls and the craving of want to know what happens next are all driving me towards the Wii and away from finishing this review up.
Did I mention that you save on a toilet?
Now word of warning, this is a very mature-rated game, so for those people looking for something the whole family can play, you might not want to pick it up. However there are dozens of other family friendly games to choose from, so that should not be a problem. In a way, the originality here reminds me a lot of Viewtiful Joe (another uniquely different game for it’s time).
I love the fact that when your saving you sit on a toilet.
How Much Will No More Heroes Cost Me, the Average Wii Owner?
For those that say there are no new ideas when it comes to video games, No More Heroes proves you wrong. Sure, it might be a once in a few years shot, however I think No More Heroes deserves all the praise it has gotten, plus now it is relatively cheap (under $20 on Amazon) so there is no excuse not to get it, if you have a Wii.
Oh yeah, the toilet saving is awesome too.
