No More Heroes
Home : Games : Reviews : Nintendo Wii : No More Heroes






As if that weren't enough, there's an entire city, Santa Destroy of lovely southern California, that can be explored ala Grand Theft Auto. It doesn't contain that kind of depth, so no killing people on the street and stealing their money. People do roam the streets however, and riding around on your larger-than-life motorcycle across the vast plain takes more than just a minute.

While exploring the city is possible, it isn't something we're expected to do. Certain points of interest remain on the map, like a technician friend who sells new weapons, a clothing shop to spice up your outfits, a gym to gain vitality and strength (with workouts that use theWii-mote's tilt function all too realistically), and others.

Taking on multiple enemies can be quite the challenge, especially when surrounded.


Even the motel that Travis stays at, a bachelor pad littered with anime characters, has the kind of humor that the typical player could appreciate. A refrigerator filled with beer that returns health, a hidden weapons cache underneath the bed, a lava lamp and lazy boy seat. Everything is used exquisitely. Play with the kitten by moving theWiimote side to side. Turn on the TV to watch unlocked movie clips. Listen to missed calls to find out about new missions and random calls from whatever you can imagine.

Tie all this together with a robust yet simple combat system and a seemingly eccentric title becomes a smash hit. Using a beam sword, Travis can swing from either a high or low stance, depending on the tilt of theWiimote . Hitting "A" slashes while hitting "B" unleashes a punch or kick to stun the enemy. Finishing moves are done by slashing in the direction shown on screen, and different grab attacks and even wrestling moves are gained farther along.
