No More Heroes.

I figure why not start things off with a game review? No More Heroes, Grasshopper studios ridiculous Star Wars meets Grand Theft Auto for the one and only Wii. Where to begin? No More Heroes throws you into the life of Travis Touchdown, an otaku gone assassin to, well, get into Sylvia Christel's pants. Who is Sylvia Christel? Well, to put it quite bluntly, she's a little french girl gone nuts. She's an agent for the United Assassins Association, which travis accidently joins when he kills the 11th ranked assassin, and pretty much takes his place. 

The game starts off throwing you right into your first mission, which is to kill number 10. The game's story revolves around these missions, each mission is obtained after you get a certain amount of cash, and how do you get said cash? By doing odd jobs, such as coconut collecting, which leader to assassination jobs, like killing the owner of Pizza Butt. The mini games weren't too shabby. They made use of the Wii's waggle functions. The combat itself however, only limits the waggle features to the final blows of an attack, as well as how high or low your attack range is depending on how high or low you hold the Wiimote. The combat flows nicely, and the upgrades to your Beam Katana (also read, Light Saber) really add a nice depth to the combat system, making it not so stale at times. 

I have to say I really loved the story, I wont give away any spoilers, but I will say that I did not expect it to end the way it did. Yes it's quite the mind fuck. Though everything seems to make sense at the the end, if you really sit down and think about it. 

Other things that made me giggle was how you saved. Yes, saving involves sitting on the can and taking a dump. more or less. You can also go around Santa Destroy and pick up new costumes, wrestling moves, beam katana upgrades, and new abilities.  I give it a 9.5 out of 10 angry otaku heads.
