This isn't a game that begs you play it. It's a game that knocks on your front door, waits for you to answer in a towel and your favorite pair of slippers, rips your head off, and shoves itself down your throat. But in a good way.

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!
An 88 score -- plus an editor's choice -- is encouraging.
I've become less and less trusting of reviews this gen, but Boz had some very specific complaints about the first game, and it seems Suda and co. answered most of them.
Day one.
Great score. Cant wait to find out how bad-ass is the Rank 1 this time, whoever he/she is.
Bring this on PSP !!!
I can't wait to get my hands on this.
