Overall Feeling: 
No More Heroes 2 is one of those rare occasions when the sequel is actually good. While the game doesn’t top its predecessor it does offer some nice improvements which help make the game feel like a proper sequel instead of NMH 1.5. A few of the boss battles are disappointing but the game still offers a nice amount of fun which should please the No More Heroes fans out there and those looking for a solid mature game on the Wii.
The Pros: 
Slicing enemies in two is still fun as hell. The visuals and overall presentation has gotten a major upgrade. The boss battles that are fun are really, really fun. Amazing voice acting from a cast of veterans that includes Robin Atkin Downes and Jennifer Hale.
The Cons: 
Some of the boss battles aren’t that fun and lack that crazy feel to them. The game as a whole is missing some of the charm that was in NMH1. Shinobu’s platforming sections are terrible.

Three years ago the Wii probably saw the release of one of the defining games for the system in the form of No More Heroes.  From acclaimed developer Suda 51 (Killer 7) and his company Grasshopper Manufacture, the game showed that mature titles on the Wii could work and along with that it was also a bloody good amount of fun that had a compelling story to go along with the uber violent hijinks that filled the game.  Now No More Heroes is back with a sequel that tries hard to top the first game and at times it does but at the end of the day NMH2 doesn't quite reach the same level o

With the release of No More Heroes 2 next week I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting to open his presents.  I’m a huge NMH fan and the past few trailers have put me into hype overdrive mode since the game promises to be even crazier and more enjoyable than the first installment.   Sadly Ubisoft has been doing the best job of promoting the game, in fact they don’t seem to be promoting it at all, but they have released another dev diary for the game featuring the incredible Suda 51.

We all know that No More Heroes 2 is going to be a crazy game with tons of weird stuff in it, which is why we all love it, but when we see a girl weilding giant anime arms who makes a strange squeal when hit I think the game has reached an all new level of strangeness.

The hype for No More Heroes 2 was already high when the game was announced and the first footage and images were released but when it was announced that former boss Shinobu would be a playable character there was a collective mind explosion across the NMH fanbase.  Suda 51 promised that the addition of Shinobu as a playable character would fit the game and that she would bring new abilities Travis doesn’t have such as being able to jump and move quicker.  Based on the recently release footage of Shinobu in action I think fans of the series will have a hard time waiting to get thei

Ever since its announcement trailer last year many have wondered what No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle would be about.  There was the small matter of how the sequel would be possible since the true ending of the game alluded to Travis and his brother Henry taking one another out in an epic battle on the streets of Santa Destroy.
