Ah... we haven't had one of these in a while. I missed seeing in action the adjectives "swift" and "fierce" as relates to banning. Anyway, it's good to know that someone else out there actually liked Killer 7. It sounds like No More Heroes doesn't pull off the whole mind-f*** thing as well as K7 but I think I'm going to pick it up anyway...as soon as I can find a freakin' Wii |

Paperboy  Posts: 13 Joined: 5 Dec 2007 | Ive been debating whether or not to get this game, but now that i have the reccomendation of the god-like Yahtzee, it is now a must buy! |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 87 Joined: 10 Dec 2007 | Haha, I just got no more heroes last week and he's definately right about the random superpowers thing. You'll slice through a huge number of enemies, lose most your health only for the last enemy to give you slo mo or random instant violent death mode. Frustrating. Still a very good game though, and one of the few Wii games I can recommend as a 1 player experience. And I reckon mr David Cat will be banned quite soon. :P |

Beat Writer  Posts: 201 Joined: 7 Nov 2007 | I was hoping to see a no More Heroes review (what with Rock Band still a glimmer on the horizon and likely to cost an amount I'd be better off using as a downpayment on someplace to live in the every skyrocketing Sydney real estate market) especially since I've seen/read/heard so many mixed responses. Bajo and Junglist of Good Game didn't think much of it, but I put as much faith in their reviews as I put in any Michael Pachter prediction more complicated than "Halo 3 will sell a million in its first week". |

Copy Clerk Posts: 79 Joined: 7 Dec 2007 | I bought this for my brother's birthday present last week. And he loved it to pieces as I knew he would, despite the inevitable complaint about the differences between the Euro and Yankee versions (ie, the lack of red particle effects, for which I shouted at him for). I also told my friend last week while waiting for the ZP! review that it HAD to be No More Heroes, since the only game I could think of being released since the Zack and Wiki review was Gran Turismo Prologue. He promptly pointed out to me that despite Yahtzee being at the bottom of the barrel (as people here put it in the ZP!:Z&W thread) he wouldn't do two Wii reviews in a row no matter how awesome the psychotic hackyslashy game would be Damn him being right and damn me for being a week early with my predictions. Next week, I'm guessing Viking (and I'm guessing I'll be wrong despite that, since who can review two hackyslashy games in a row?). It will not however be Rock Band, as we still have no PAL version unlike you damn Americans. <3 |

Anonymous Source Posts: 1 Joined: 9 Apr 2008 | I have to say, I'm proud of you. All my sentiments exactly. Perhaps we're due for a retrospective of Killer7, which was certainly flawed and did get me a bad rap with my conservative christian family when I happened to play Cloudman around them but overall was a very worthwhile experience. Perhaps they both have precisely Zero replay value (unless you count Hopper7), but No More Heroes is indeed one of my favorite games in the past, oh, decade. |

Paperboy  Posts: 50 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | I love you Yahtzee! You're the shit! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game as much as I did. This is one of those reviews that I really enjoy because I agree with everything you say. I agree the game isn't perfect, but it's still a great buy! |

And will probably remain that way until June at the earliest. Gawd bless Nintendo and their EU/Aus/NZ release dates. |

EXHIBIT A: ... Though, that should pretty much sum it up for you, and make said ZP review unnecessary. EXHIBIT B:(UNTIL IT IS MADE ILLEGAL) w00t? |

Paperboy  Posts: 42 Joined: 15 Feb 2008 | So, the Jurassic Park theme song for the Turok review wasn't obvious? XD Nice review, but that's about it. And why does Yahtzee's voice keep changing with every new review? |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 1 Joined: 9 Apr 2008 | I know it's a bit much to ask you to play through the game a second time, but I found that kicking it up to hard (I'm sorry, "Bitter") mode actually made the combat reasonably challenging, especially in the timed missions. Speaking of combat difficulty, if you managed to button-mash your way through the Bus segment without getting your torso cut into five pieces several times, please put some of your essence in a bottle and mail it to me so I may drink it and become, like you, a god of video gaming. |

There's an exception to every rule. Besides we can all agree that mixing the Cthulhu Mythos with Charlie Brown cartoons makes for a fairly non typical JRPG game. |

In the same sentence he mentioned hating JRPGs, he listed Earthbound as one of the few exceptions. Context, people! |
