No More Heroes

No More Heroes

The story follows Travis Touchdown, who is a stereotypical otaku—his motel room decorated with professional wrestling and anime collectibles—living in near poverty in the No More Heroes motel of Santa Destroy, California. After winning a beam katana in an internet auction, he becomes a hitman. When he runs out of money to buy video games, he accepts a job to kill the 'Drifter' aka Helter Skelter, which earns him rank 11 by the UAA, a governing body of assassins. Realizing that he has now made himself a target for aspiring assassins, he sets out to secure himself as the number one hitman in the UAA.

The player controls the character Travis Touchdown. The game has a free rolling world, allowing Travis to turn around on foot or on his motorcycle, the "Schpel Tiger".Game play is open-ended, with the concession that the player must kill the top 10 assassins in order to make the storyline progress. There are voluminous part time job side quests to earn money which can be spent on weapons, training conference, and clothes.

The Controls is handled through the Wii Remote and Nunchuk affixation, with the Remote controlling his weapon, the beam katana, and the Nunchuk moving Travis. Most attacks are performed using the "A" button, with certain other moves, including finishing strikes and sword lock breaks, executed by following on-screen instructions. Further, since the sword runs on batteries, the player has to charge the remote from time to time by shaking it.
