Product Description
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.

 not good, not even close! August 25, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
OK - this game is bad, real bad...as in not well made. The graphics are pretty nasty, yes "artistic" is one word, but the overall effect is that these guys were on a slim budget. Speaking of which, the budget must have been really small considering the amount of bugs this game has in it. Just try running around the city and messing with the physics of the main character and/or bike. I once got the bike caught on a curb, and seeing through walls...no problem...just walk up, move the camera, and x-ray vision thou shalt have! Bad level design, nothing to do in the city, just run...zzzzz. This game isn't even close to as interactive as GTA and that's not saying much, considering GTA could have been alot more interactive...but that's another story. Put it this way, if you run into someone with your bike, you get a gameboy era 'thud' sound and your bike stops, nothing happens to the pedestrian...nothing...they are solid like statue...or tree...or whatever...this sucks!
So whats good about this game...well the story is ok...just buthead humor...I guess its good if your entering your teens!? The concept is not new, the retro menus and sound effects are cool, but blocky and rushed looking. Ahhh....the control system....yes...thats why this game is supposed to be good...well again...not really...just repeatedly hit the A button over and over and over...oh yea you can adjust a high or low hit too...wow cool:-( Seriously - you can rent this game with no commitment. Defintely not one to keep in your collection. Sorry, but I really don't need anymore heroes.
Hope this review was helpful to you...save your bucks for the games that really deserve your hard earned dollars.
 Gran Theft Auto Wii? Not Exactly.. August 21, 2008

This Game is the closest thing your going to get to Grand Theft Auto.
Yes, it is true you can walk around/drive giant motor bikes and not damage anything, only fall off your bike) But there isn't much to do. The Game plays very linear and repeative Killing higher ranked people. The Game has lots of blood and gore and the animation is okay. The controls take 10 minutes to get used to and your off to killing anyone you can kill in your sights. The Game Goes like this
Play a Lot of mini games/side missions to earn cash
Pay and use all of your money
Kill someone
Repeat
The three best things
The Bike
The Killing
The Cat
Those are my thoughts about No More Heros
Great adult game for the Wii July 22, 2008

The Wii has very few adult games. This is one the better if not the best one so far. The game play, while a bit repetative and not too clean graphicly, is always fun and involving. The story is really the best part of it. You fight to become the top ranked assassin, so you can "do it" with your liason Silvia. The game is a laugh riot. With jerking off your beam katana to recharge it, splitting your enemies in half to be showered in blood, and getting naked to train with your master. Not alot of thought involved, just your good old fashioned crude adult humor. A must have for those of you who "bought a Wii for the kids" and secretly play it when they go to bed.
 This game is DA BOMB!!!!!!!!! ( In an excellent way) July 11, 2008

This is the best 3rd party game I have played for WII. The graphics and storyline are done superb. No more heroes is one of the only adult theme games that is on the WII. Other games use violences meaninglessly to fill game contain but this game is not only of them. The control action of the WII remote and chuck is remarkable. If you like games with great plot and action than Heroes is a must. Get this game you will not regret it!!!!!
Great Game July 10, 2008
