No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle New Trailer
There have been so many excellent game announcements in the days leading up to E3 that it seems they would be hard to top. Well for me, my Game of 2010 has arrived. At TGS last year I was fortunate enough to be in the front row as Suda 51 announced that there would be a sequel to favorite Wii game. And today I was finally able to see the form it would take. I know not everyone cared for the first No More Heroes game but for those of us who did, this game looks to deliver. But watch the video and judge for yourself.
Warning: Contains naughty words and naughtier use of a beam katana.

A while back I was sitting in the teachers’ lounge drinking a nice cup of green tea, an announcement came over the PA system. As usual I and the other teachers tuned it out, as these announcements are pretty much the same thing every day. Then I heard something I was not expecting, the words “Doubutsu no Mori” or as we know it “Animal Crossing”. Now I started listening.
Review: No More Heroes
When I received this game I originally intended to do a quick “impressions” post and then do a full review later. However, when playing those first few hours to get a general idea of the controls, story, etc., I found that I couldn’t stop playing it. After completing 40% of the game I decided that I might as well just keep playing and do a full review. That alone speaks volumes about the addictive quality of No More Heroes.
I have heard No More Heroes described as being like a cross between Killer 7 and Grand Theft Auto. I can see how people could make those connections. Like Killer 7, it has very unique and stylistic artwork reflecting a comic book-like quality, and like Grand Theft Auto, it has a large overworld for the player to explore and at times interact with. But the similarities really end there. No More Heroes can only be accurately compared to itself, because it has a style all its own.
