No More Heroes

[wazy15]

sounds as good as I was hoping! When is the US/UK release on this, I am going to flog my UK machine as it will take an age to be released here!

What are you meant to do right at the beginning after you kill the first guy?

All exits seem blocked by the piece of rope. :/

[EldoradoExplorer]

Is it right at the start?
If so, it's like a little tutorial for all the basic moves. If enemies keep respawning it's 'cause you haven't completed a specific move.

I was stuck for a slight moment on the roll one. Is it that? Tap left or right on the D pad while locked onto an enemy.

Spent most of the weekend playing this and Lost Odyssey.
I'm now ranked 3rd and can honestly say that this game was everything i hoped it to be and more.

Here are a few things I've noticed when messing around with the combat system.

1. Pressing Z just before an enemy's attack hits will make Travis parry the attack. Press A straight after to counter. This is extremely useful against huge groups of enemies as you can in most cases take them all all out with one counter strike.

2. After blocking an attack, move the controller left or right (this will depend on the direction you block the attack) to move around your enemy in slow mo' and follow up with a combo. I use this a lot in boss fights.

Not been able to play this since I had a quick go yesterday.

Kids were watching daddy load it up, watched the cartoon bits at the beginning, he hero jumps hurtles towards the mansion, jumps off his bike into the air and lands shouting "****er".

Alas, this will now have to sit in the pile along with Resi 4 on the late night Wii batch.

Bruv thats the news I wanted to hear, your impressions carry serious weight so good to see you posting. I was a little concerned about the depth in the fighting, having not been completely sold on the Wii controls yet, but the counters you mention sound MINT!1

[Goemon]

How playable is the game without knowing Japanese?

[kryss]

I'm plodding along nicely without knowledge of the language tbf. Though I do have the missus handy with her dictionaries and slight knowledge if I get stuck.

That answer your question?

I went to pick it up on Friday but my local BIC had sold out
I might go in tomorrow.

I had been a little worried about splashing out in case it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. But apparently that isn't the case.

How you lucky people who are playing this getting on?

It's all gone too quiet in this thread

Had my copy for 2 whole days now. According to the EMS number, my Wii was last tracked at Hakata...

My first impressions? The manual's very nice!

[kryss]

Hakata? Are they sending it via surface mail or suface air lifted??

D'oh. EMS, you already said. Nevermind.

You know somethings good when Venom dusts off the keyboad for a quick post. Now the agonising wait for the pal release

[spagmasterswift]

At least you know thats gonna be a good couple of months off, I'm expecting to see this turn up eveyday...when manz have completed it already and moved on

[warlike]

Even killer7 got more attention than this topic.. wth man.
This game deserves attention, more than any other game, just for originality..
