    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is an appetizer for the main course that is sure to be No More Heroes III. Indeed, it is best served in short, bite-sized chunks, which its short levels are perfect for consuming in such a way. As a whole, this isn’t the strongest entry in the series, but then it doesn’t feel like it was intended that way. Sitting down with a buddy in local co-op is a fun first for Travis, and a decent smattering of extra game modes helps to stretch play time a bit.

    Suda51 is nothing if not subtle. His games always feel outrageous and over-the-top in ways that can be difficult to hold onto some measure of appeal. I love his stuff solely because I can never expect what he’s going to do. Travis Strikes Again was a huge disappointment because it doesn’t have the same high energy or memorable experiences of its predecessors. I do like all of the weird mixed media stuff going on but if you strip the presentation away, there isn’t anything left worth sticking around for.

    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition might be a limited experience with repetitive gameplay, but long time series fans will find plenty to enjoy in the narrative.

    Travis Strikes Again is more of an appetizer for No More Heroes 3, and it’s hard to consider it a full fledged title. But if you are a die hard fan of the series, maybe it’s not a bad idea to give it a try.

    To its credit, there’s so much off-the-wall content here that you’ll be willing to push through its drier segments just to see what oddity the developer has in store next. Whether it’s reviewing ramen recipes or watching on dumbfounded as the title tosses out a completely unconnected FMV sequence, this is a real rollercoaster of ridiculousness that needs to be seen to be believed. But it’s a three or four hour experience which lasts more than double that, and no amount of Boneface designed bossfights are going to prevent you from getting bored at points.

    Some jokes land, and some moments shine, but most of No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again Complete Edition relies on heavy-handed doses of breaking fourth walls and common game modes. There's an audience for this franchise, but this game doesn't offer much for anyone else.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Probably the worst Grassehopper / Suda51 game.

    The story is poor, the gameplay is way too basic, and level's musics are unbearable.

    The only good point for fans are all the little easter eggs. You can see Dan from Killer 7, Mondo Zappa from Killer is Dead, Garcia & Johnson from Shadows of the Damned and more. But it is unfortunately not enough to make a good game.

    Goichi Suda, if you port No More Heroes, Killer 7, Killer is Dead and Shadows of the Damned on PS4, then maybe i will forgive you this.    … Full Review »

    is almost biographical the way the game is laid out and way they talk about games and sort Suda51 not directly about his games but in a wayis almost biographical the way the game is laid out and way they talk about games and sort Suda51 not directly about his games but in a way in directly feels really personal and I really liked it.

    the way to games talk about passion and want to step back and living in isolation the way you meet the main characters passed heroes and how it feels to talk to them idolize them and then destroy them has a really sad feeling to it but almost satisfying to.

    the music is really good I listened to it in the off I was when I have was completed the game because it was just so I can ear catching.

    the gameplay is good enough I mean I have don't really have so much to say about it it is really arcade like but it has some really nice graphics and the game is mostly in 4 3 ratio which is really unique and fun to play a game that uses this style with modern graphics.

    definitely play this game if you're faint of the series but if you are then you must almost already have played it    … Full Review »
