      Is there anyway going back to misions you've already done as I missed the wrestling mask on the first mission.

        I just got the Pal version of this and am enjoying it alot, but the fame rate seems a bit stuttery to me, its the same kinda problem I found with the Pal version of the original Halo..... is the game like this for all versions or just the Pal one?

        Besides that though I'm loving it, does the game actualy get any harder though? cause so far Im up to the third ranking mission and its been pretty easy...

        Also, how do you get the "proper" ending I keep reading about?...

          Finished it on Bitter last night - amazing game. Did the real ending this time:


          Henry would have been crazy hard if I didn't have the infinite battery upgrade for the Tsubaki Mk iii. Charged low attack FTW



          Best game since Mario Galaxy for me, will probably do a 3rd run in the summer when I have time in order to collect the last few

          art cards and clothes

          Prob not worth spoilering that but better to be safe I guess!

          Oh, and I like this write up on what NMH means

          MY SPLEEN!

            The frame rate is bad in the city parts even on the NTSC version. As for the difficulty, it does increase but it reaches a plateau fairly soon. The learning curve for the combat basically ends with the third boss, and after that it's just incremental increases in enemy health etc. Some of the bosses are quite tough but only because their energy bars are so big.

            As for the 'real' ending (NOT story spoilers): [spoilers]you just need to complete the game having purchased all the beam katanas. I don't think they need to be upgraded (some of the final ones are ridiculously priced) so long as you have the weapons.[/spoilers]

              yeah I got to the third boss and it sudenly got a bit more challenging and I felt silly for asking about the difficulty.

              Actualy I havent had time to play it much so am still on the third boss... i keep nearly killing her then she decides to do this super unblockable charge attack that kills me in one hit, after all the paitence required to hack her health bar away its quite annoying that she does that.... anyway guess i'll do it eventualy....

                Just made it to rank 6, the boss fights and associated cut scenes are so much fun
                I really can't handle the free fight missions though, it's so punishing to only be allowed
                making these way harder than any boss fight.
                Also I have no clue about the timing with the

                baseball

                , and it's a real hassle to keep taking the contract over and over to try it.

                  This is the game's way of teaching you to dodge properly. There are two forms of dodging - rolling away with the d-pad, which gets you out of danger but 'disconnects' you from your enemy, and there's a parry-like dodge that lets you counter attack.

                  If the enemy starts to glow red they're about to unleash an unblockable attack, and your best bet is to roll to one side as most of these attacks are forward lunges or dashes.

                  The other type of dodge is riskier but better because it leaves the enemy open to your attacks. Instead of rolling away with the d-pad, give the analogue stick a flick left or right to dodge around your opponent. If you do it right you'll hear a sound effect, the screen will darken and everything goes slow for a second as you move into position. You now have a moment's opportunity to attack without being blocked and it's crucial to winning the later boss fights as well as fighting the general enemies.

                  If you land a few hits you'll dizzy your opponent, and can perform a wrestling move on them for MASSIVE DAMAGE. Remember not to hit them too many times when they're dizzy though or you'll cancel the stun and they'll go back to blocking your attacks again.

                    Nice link...it kinda makes sense.

                      Was looking forward this this, sounded fun.

                      I should have known better, there is something I can't stand about some Japanese games, this seems to hit all those buttons.

                      I'll forgive the visuals, being a Wii title, but it really does come over as being style over substance. A constant stream of dumb ass foes to be dispatched with an 'innovative' method. Yup, press up/left/right/down to finish them off. Wooot.

                      I can see why some of you would like this, mucha s I can see the attraction of Marmite. It's just not for me.

                      I'm better off sticking to Western FPS's and driving games. :-)

                        The opening couple of lines from the review cracked me up, I could have written it myself.

                        - "Most gamers these days are jaded souls. Whether they have been playing games for a few months or twenty years, it soon becomes clear that certain genres dominate the scenery. Driving games, FPS’s, football games, etc."

                        This line too, must have been reading my mind!
                        -
                        "Thankfully, No More Heroes is less of a Marmite experience than Suda 51’s previous Killer 7."

                          That last comment is the exact thing I was wanting to hear, as I just didn't "get" what all the fuss was about with Killer 7, as much as I utterly loved the visuals and atmosphere.

                          Comment


                            I preferred killer7 but i still loved NMH.

                            Comment


                              I thought Killer7 was great, just for the visuals and atmosphere. There really wasn't anything else to it.

                              As for NMH, im liking it but im not enjoying it as much as killer7. I find the raising cash too monotonous.

                              Comment


                                Zero, how are you raising cash? If it is from the assasination missions, then that is the core gameplay! If it is not, then do that instead. I enjoyed the assasination missions and felt the "chores" were mildly amusing (ONCE only though!) with the notable exception of the scorpion one.
