No more heroes
No more heroes is simply the craziest and most fearful action game in the Wii line-up. Produced by the creative genius from SUDA51, No more heroes is just the last born from that deviated mind: in fact, in 2005, SUDA51 published Killer7, a game where real and crazy blended together, giving life to 7 criminal sides of the main character. This time reality is just one but the splatter style, which is mature and ironic, stayed untouched. The several quotes and parodies in the game will make you smile and love this genre.
Plot
The story, about the main character Travis Touchdown, a former American wrestler who, because of his way of dressing, his passion for collecting and pornography, looks more like a classic Japanese anime character, takes place in an original Californian city: Santa destroy. Everything starts when Travis wins a Beam katana (a raw copy of a laser sword) on an online bid and decides to become a killer. Killing people on demand becomes too boring for Travis, until, one day, he meets in a bar Sylvia, a hottie girl, who asks him to climb over the list of the 10 most ruthless killers in the town in change of a non-specified service in case he’d survive and get the first place.
Gameplay
Climbing over the bloody classify is very simple but you have to respect some rules: Sylvia will contact you to tell you the name of your next target only after you paid your subscription to the “Challenge”, which you’ll have to toil by doing more or less legal jobs. Once discovered the house of the killer which is one step ahead you, you’ll just have to get on your super motorbike and head yourself to the meeting point, driven by the classic mini-map, used by the several GTAs. Getting to the boss won’t be that easy, in fact you’ll nee to shrink waves of armed henchmen to get to the chance of challenging the assassin. As you may see, the structure of the game is very simple, but I can make you sure it will give you several satisfactions: fighting, the heart of the game, are as much as spectacular as funny.
The tools at your disposal are: wrestling moves from your former fighter career, which you can do only after having stun your enemy, by moving wiimote and nunchuk in the directions listed by the big “pixelled” arrows and, obviously, your trusted katana, whit which you can shrink hundred of enemies by pushing the A key. The use of the beam katana results very studied and technical: if you point your wiimote up, Travis will attack to the chest, which is not advisable if your opponent protects himself by knives, while pointing your wiimote down to the ground, you’ll have a more hard-fighting position. When you’ve managed to lower the opponent’s life, you can choose to use one of the many final moves at your disposal by moving the wiimote in the directions listed by the usual “pixelled” arrow. If the final move ends successfully, you’ll see appearing on the screen a big slot machine that will give you one of the 5 powers available, in case of hat trick.
The most original part of the game are surely bosses. You’ll find yourself facing women shooting missiles from their iron leg to oldies hiding a cannon in their shopping trolley, magician with firing birds and crazy ones believing they’re super heroes. As usual, bosses have at thei own disposal some super moves and i twill be up to you to dodge them and.... |
