Yeah, it's like that episode of Rosanne where no matter what anyone said she had to have the last word.

Exactly.

Some of you NMH fanboys need to be productive and start finding us tons of high res art. I needs to be making me some Bad Girl / Jeane / Sylvia wallpapers for my psp.

note: In all actuality, I wish this was a gamecube game so I could be using the ported models in GMod right now.

No More Heroes DOES have a good story and excellent dialogue though. Plus the graphics are perfect, if not stunning in certain areas, considering the art direction they were going for.

I just finished the game today, and it took me about 10:45 minutes to finish. This is definitely the best game on the Wii thats not named Mario Galaxy, and people who write it off within the first few levels are really missing out. All the little "gameplay twists" seem like something that the TNL crowd would definitely enjoy.

I also disagree with everyone who says that this game is "repetitive." The game throws at least one new thing at you every level, so it never feels like you're doing the same thing over and over. Sure, there is a lot of hacking and slashing, but things do get mixed up nicely enough.

Now this is true, the game does throw new things at you. But in turn they follow an already set style of play: Pick up garbage, pick up coconuts, pick up scorpions, pick up kittens, etc.

In all honesty there were a few times where I just wanted to go directly to the boss fight without having to deal with all the retard noob henchmen that were never going to kill me in the first place. Besides the money you earn from them(which pales in comparison to Assassination Gigs), there's no real point for them to be there(or at least, that MANY of them).

Then again, that's more due to the fact that I did nothing but play this game non stop from the moment I purchased it...so getting burned out by the repetition was a given. But the characters and bosses more than made up for what I had to suffer through in certain areas, as this game is chocked full of the most original(even considering it's all pop-culture references/parodies of cinema and anime) characters I've dealt with in a good long time.

Trying to stay spoiler free here...but I did think the developers threw in some nice gameplay twists in the later levels that serve as nice "work arounds" for simply hacking 'n slashing through the noob henchmen over and over again. The first few levels seemed to have a lot more of the noob henchmen, but after you become the fifth ranked assassin I felt that the developers really started mixing things up during the mid-level fights and the boss fights in general.
