Attention Wii owners of 17 years or older: if you do not own this game then I'm angry at you now. If I manage to identify you on the street, expect an angry tirade, followed by a swift headbutt to the nose.
Thank you.

Gah, I've been really wanting to buy this for the past few days but Paypal takes FOREVER to transfer money from a bank account. By forever I mean 3-5 days. And Paypal and my bank likes to take the maximum amount of time. Oh, and if I initiate the transfer at night, then it's twelve hours or more. So it's really 5.5-6 days. brb crying.

I'm going to be truthfully honest here, why does everyone love this game so much? I had it and thought it was terrible. The whole idea of earning money between eliminating the top ten killers was nothing less of repeating boring jobs hundreds of times that involved wii-mote ideas that were never fleshed out to truly be something beyond Wario ware like games. The story was not that well developed as well, and yes I finished the game 100% completely just to see if the game got better, but it never did.
To me, both Killer 7 and No More Heroes were just terrible over hyped ideas, similar to the Halo 3.
Hell out of all the games I've played so far; only MP3, Zelda TP, SSBB, and Mario Galaxy have remotely held my interest longer then a week tops before I returned those games to Gamestop for something else.
People if you want to complain about my comments, redirect them at the closest brick wall.

Well, they are really niche titles in some ways, and thus probably won't be liked by everyone. Even if NMH is a little bit more mainstream friendly, it's still an experience you can have whatever opinion you like.
But I can't really see any resemblance to Halo. In a matter of hype - maybe, if you compare a monkey to a elephant by size.

It was your fault you fell for the hype.
Heck, I never fall for hypes when I don't like 'em. :P
It's about time you people start thinking for yourself than trying to read reviews. ...go for videos instead of pictures.
Hell, if a movie got a good review, does that mean you'll like it?
HELLL NO! ... :/ I HATED 007 Casino Royale...

"everyone" "loves" this game "so much" because of a propaganda/astroturfing blitz most likely paid for by the company.

SoshiKitai said...
Uhhh... that's probably the stupidest excuse I've ever heard...
propa...ganda? Oh yeah, it was definitely propanga... because they did so well in Japan! SO WELL!
And he totally came here and tried to pay for great advertising and for great reviews!
*biggest eye roll in the world*
What the hell?! I have to say, this was the worst excuse ever created.

MLL, I actually agree with you. I bought this game thinking that it was the next big thing due to all the hype and reviews.
I enjoyed it at first but it got way too repetitive and the combat system was somewhat plain and boring.
I like the humor and the old classic console throwbacks, but other than that this was kind of a sleeper for me.

No More Heroes has been shoved down our throats here on Wii fanboy. However after playing the game, it wasn't that good. I really wanted my wasted hype back, with extra compensation.
Mainly my idea is that anyone who likes a game with cartoonist blood reactions needs to actually witness real blood on the not safe level. People don't explode into blood fountains once their heads are gone, yeah the blood goes high into the air from heart pressure but not gallons.
However I can only complain so much since this is one of the only Wii game sites that is not blocked at my work.

Don't forget Anime Rule # 18:
#18- Law of Hemoglobin Capacity- the human body contains over 12 gallons of blood,
sometimes more, under high pressure
And seeing that it was an anime-style game (being the kid is otaku and all, and that the boss fights are anime-style-dramatic), it's not a surprise that the rules apply.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but to deride the game's art style as not being realistic, when a few other things in the game
(SPOILERS START HERE)
like how his sister summons that purple Energy dragon thing with her fist
(/SPOILERS)
should clue you in, Its very over-the-top, and you can take it or leave it like that
Not deriding your opinion, but the visceral style was never meant to be real

Just buy it anyway. It's not like the ESRB is the law. Some place won't give a crap and will sell it to you.

I am on my second play through, on Mild, and I must say I am loving it still.
Somehow moves that were not there in the first play through, are there now. Plus pulling off wrestling moves, and getting 777s, bar bar bar, cherry cherry cherry, are happening more often.
I haven't had to pull of a job to earn money and I am working on Rank 6. The Bitch On The Beach is a tough one 2nd time through, at least for me.

Okay, I bit. The price is low enough that I finally bit. This blog LOVES this game, and I really know nothing about it (even the net reviews seems sketchy as to what the game is), but I'll try...
