    Great port of a great game. Looks good in HD, supports both motion and non motion controls. Had one hard crash and lost about an hour, but otherwise all good. In Europe full blood version.

    Another one of the best Switch ports i´ve ever played, despite the poor camera, removal of things that made the first game special, No More Heroes 2 is still a great time on the Switch! The game looks beautiful on the Switch version, the game runs in constant 60 Frames Per Second, controls feel smooth and responsive most of the time.

    Cool characters, confusing story and hack and slash gameplay?
    That's No more heroes! In the second game you can't ride the bike anymore, because there's a fast travel system. The Minigames are very fun as well.
    Little bit too short and since you don't have to pay for the fights as it was in the first no more heroes, there's no need to play them which is cool but like that the game CAN be    Cool characters, confusing story and hack and slash gameplay?

    Unapologetically brash and with a swagger that screams ‘love me or loathe me!’, the NMH series has carved a reputation and this is its best advertisement. [Issue #3, p.61]

    A total package that's much less of an acquired taste than the first. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 17]

    No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is satirical, nonsensical, and just plain weird. It's also fast, bloody, impactful, and a few other things that I am not sure I can or should put into words. It sometimes makes the original title feel more subdued, which is strange to say since that the first game wasn't exactly tame. Given its much-improved gameplay loop, interesting side-quests, insane boss fights, and hilarious gameplay, NMH2 is indeed a wild rollercoaster ride that must be seen to be believed. If this does not get you hyped for the series' third entry, nothing will.
