The last part isn't entirely accurate...the song also plays in the boutique Area 51 and Beef Head Video...in fact I ended up liking the song so much after hearing it over and over again in NMH that I looked up the video our version of the game didn't get to have and became completely addicted to it, haha =) and for some strange reason I want to go clothes shopping everytime I hear it now

I haven't played NMH for awhile now, the last two games I've played have been Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Mario Kart Wii and so I forgot... Anywayz, the music video is worth it. I used to watch it almost every time I had free time in Travis's apartment XD lol. Plus I'd also play Pure White Giant Glastonbury quite a lot. XD I love how they just made an entire stage into a oldskool scrolling shooter, BRILLIANT! lol. Oh, oh, oh, and guess what, there's rumour that they may make a REAL anime of Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly,,, according to Suda51, if enough people express interest, it could happen. Man, I hope it does happy XD It'd be so awesome if it did.

I would have liked to be able to watch the video on Travis' TV, but I did enjoy seeing the trailer since I'd never watched it before. It would have been awesome to be able to actually watch the wrestling videos, though, rather than just suddenly LEARNING A NEW WRESTLING MOVE. On that note, why do so few reviews/discussions of the game fail to mention the wrestling? I loved that aspect of the game and I thought it was implemented very well, especially in the context of giving Travis some measure of backstory without having to do more than refer to it throughout the game (as opposed to having it be a cutscene, etc)

Oh yeah, the wrestling moves XD And the whole wrestling thing in general. Suda51 is actually a huge Lucha libre fan, he LOVES his wrestling... I think there's even a pic of him on the net wearing a Lucha libre mask lol. The way they implemented the whole combat element to the gameplay was done well. They used the features of the Wiimote but didn't overdo it as some games end up doing. Leaving it to perform finishing moves and wrestling moves was a very good idea and other developers can learn from this... in fact GAMERS can learn from this since they seem to expect 1:1 sword movements just cause they hear the words "motion control"... *sighs* I liked how some of the assassination jobs had you doing wrestling moves only XD That was pretty fun.

I had heard the game was originally forecast for the 360, but I'm really glad it ended up becoming a Wii franchise instead...and not simply because I'm anti-Microsoft and still have yet to get a 360. Again, the wrestling moves were a hell of a lot of fun for me and they would be reduced to button mashing on any other console with any other set of controls. I did also enjoy "talking" to Sylvia on the Wiimote, I just didn't realize she was talking out of it until the second boss fight because I had the wiimote volume turned down too far to hear it, haha.

Oh noes XD I have the speaker on my Wiimote turned up to full cause I have a surround sound system and I put that up pretty loud in the first place. Also, for some reason, whenever Sylvia would call, I would instinctively press the 1 button for some reason before putting the phone...Wiimote... to my ear. You didn't need to but for some reason that's what I did XD There is a bit in the options menu where you can route all Wiimote speaker functions in with the rest of the sound coming from the regular speakers, but that's no fun... oh speaking of which, I love how this game starts as soon as you get pass the logos at the start.

We all must also remember that Travis Touchdown is such a badass that he is capable of wearing a pink anime jacket and white pants with embroidered pink hearts and making it look *even more badass*. Not an easy feat. XD

Yeah... thank this guy for that Also, here's some interesting info for you: Goichi Suda designs T-Shirts... at least he used to as a profession... he also used to be an undertaker... you know, the kind that work at funeral parlours XD lol.

Yahtzee's conclusion from the link I posted above ("For all its faults, *get it anyway,* because chances are you will never play anything like it") is the best summary of the game that can be offered. For me, that's a disappointing statement, because goddamn do I want more. So here's the big question: Now that we're a generation beyond it, is Killer 7 worth the time?

Yes, yes it is. But Killer7 is of a different breed than No More Heroes... it's a lot more about the socio-political relationship between the US and Japan and isn't as friendly as a videogame as NMH is. It has A LOT of great and unique things in it though and if you want a kind of videogame that you have never played before, Killer7 is definately one of them. More info about Killer7: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_7

Also, you should try to pick up a game called Contact for the DS which is another one of Suda51's games... and there's a remake of a PS2 game being released on DS in the future called Flower, Sun and Rain which is also quite unique.
