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.
The most recent WiiWare game I have downloaded for my Wii is CueSports – Pool Revolution. 
Yes! Finally Link gets his name in one of the Zelda games! Ok, this one I didn’t have much choice about due to the fact it came with the Zapper itself but I do have to say it is much more fun than I thought it would be. Having the anticipation that it would just be a demo title showing me “how to use” the Zapper it ended up being an entertaining “pick it up when you have nothing else to do” game.
I have been a fan of the Resident Evil series, even though this is my first actual game in the series to own. This game’s controls kind of makes you feel like the Zapper was a second thought (due to the fact you have to move your hand up on top to hit the “A” button a lot. Other than that it is another cool “on rails” shoot’em up that ends up being very entertaining.
Now I am not usually a big fan of the Army/Police first person shooter type games but for some reason this one looked as if it might be a lot of fun. I have not gotten to spend much time with it yet but from what I have played it looks great. There are also a lot of side routes you can take so one level never has to be the same twice. Another great thing about it is you change your weapon type up as you go to suit the situation. Tons of fun.
This title, as the name tells you right off the bat, gives you both House of the Dead 2 and 3 to play with your Zapper.
I still have a little more room on my Wii for games, but I am coming close to having to ditch some previously downloaded titles for some new ones. Give me a couple more months, then I’ll join the chorus of people asking more disk space on the Wii (either via the SD card or by adding an external hard drive).
I love reading the opinions of others all of the Web. It seems like before Wii Fit came out, nobody could stand the wait and everybody wanted to play. Now that it is out, about half the people who wanted it are trying to find ways to shoot it down. Well I can say for myself, I have it (and the balance board) and I still love it.
