Travis Touchdown is the name, slicing and dicing is his game.
No More Heroes is a stylishly violent
combat game in the sardonic spirit of films like
Kill Bill. Players must take out ten rival killers, with names like
Death Metal,
Dr. Peace, and
Destroyman, and their hellish henchmen before they "intercept"
Touchdown. While
Touchdown's primary attack is an upgradeable beam katana blade, he is also schooled in grapple moves made popular by professional
wrestling. In between assassination attempts, players can relax in
Touchdown's interactive motel room (where he can play with his cat, watch wrestling videos, or save progress by sitting on the toilet).
Players can also work a number of side jobs to earn extra spending money. Mowing lawns, collecting coconuts, and other offbeat occupations are available as mini-games, each taking advantage of the system's motion-sensing controls. The
action takes place within the fictitious city of Santa Destroy, home to a video store, baseball stadium, burger joint, gym, pizza parlor, and other hangouts. Players will travel from target to target on a massive motorcycle that can perform wheelies, jumps, and pavement-scorching turbo boosts. Directed by
Goichi Suda, best known for
Killer7 on
GameCube and
Contact on
DS, the M-rated
No More Heroes features a distinctive cel-shaded visual style.
