Aaron Stanton of About.com writes: No More Heroes is a cross between Kill Bill and Grand Theft Auto, comparisons that are too obvious not to be drawn. It's certainly not a title that's likely to appeal to the casual gamer, but it's a much needed adult title on a system already saturated with games for the casual crowd. While I'm not convinced it's a truly good game, it is certainly an interesting one.
Ups: Very stylistic. Funny, with a great retro feel.
Downs: Battles become repetitive. The style is polarizing; you either love it or hate it. And sometimes the stylistic elements make the graphics just look bad.
No More Heroes really can be summed up by describing it as a mix between Kill Bill and Grand Theft Auto. Like GTA, it doesn't take itself seriously and has more depth in some elements than you would think, if only because it tries so hard to make itself that way. Like Kill Bill, the violence is over the top, but somehow rewarding. If these are the elements that make you happy, No More Heroes will probably be your thing. General critical reaction to the title has been positive.
The PC version of No More Heroes has received an update that now allows gamers to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The more I think about it, the more I kinda want it to be a thing lol. Ryan Gosling would be awesome. He would need to play it less serious, but he's shown that he can be a goofball.
XSEED is one of a few publishers running a new Switch eShop sale for Black Friday 2023, and it includes the lowest prices ever for No More Heroes 1 and 2. The same goes for Senran Kagura Peach Ball, Trinity Trigger, and more.
