Review: No More HeroesJanuary 29th, 2008Jason Glick |
It’s very tempting to compare “No More Heroes,” the latest exercise in playable madness from director Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture, to their last major original title “Killer 7.” Aside from sharing the same director, they were both developed for Nintendo systems (though “Killer 7″ got a reportedly sloppy PS2 port), and feature some of the most out-there storytelling you’ll see in any medium. “Killer 7″ had a team of seven assassins that were really the split personalities of one man fighting a group of invisible terrorist monsters. “No More Heroes” puts you in the shoes of Travis Touchdown, an anime and wrestling otaku who buys a lightsaber beam katana in an online auction and decides to start killing his way up the ranks of the world’s best assassins in order to score with a hot French chick.
