CSM writes: "A fun combat system and several interesting ideas sure to appeal to longtime game lovers -- including retro mini-games and the stars' awareness that they are merely characters in a story -- are spoiled to a large degree by No More Heroes 2's poor writing and puerile obsession with large breasts. This is a game no child should play, yet relentless crotch and boob shots and incredibly lame sex jokes make it seem as though it was meant to be little more than forbidden fruit for mischievous adolescents. To be sure, they're the only ones who could be excused for giggling at phrases like "I feel like that pervy teacher in a porn," and "I'm gonna touch you down, Travis Touchdown." The mindlessly vulgar and wholly unsophisticated humor weighs down what otherwise could have been a good gory grown-up romp filled with fun elements of nostalgia."
Half-Glass Gaming: "Travis Touchdown is awesome, and he’s a huge reason No More Heroes is so great. That said, series creator and director Suda51 said he would be open to making a spinoff starring fan-favorite Shinobu. And though the series’ fate isn’t entirely up to Suda [as he doesn't own the IP], a sans-Travis entry could definitely work."
NMH seems to revolve around Travis like DMC revolves around Dante, GoW revolves around Kratos, Ninja Gaiden revolves around Ryu, and Bayonetta revolves around well…
It wouldn’t feel right to have these kind of action games to not have their main character in the lead role or not present at all
If PC is your only platform for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, don't pass it up; if you have a Wii or a Switch, grab it there.
Now available on PC, No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle are both charming games but their ports are awfully basic.
Such a shame! Was hoping they'd be better, but some of the prompts reinforced my fears!
Way to seemingly miss the point of the game...I'm sure the video that was watched (or the 10 minutes of maybe playing the game) really helped in writing this review.
