   I would have honestly rated this game a 9.3 or 9.5 but it seems there is no option to do so. No More Heroes 2 is one of the most refreshing I would have honestly rated this game a 9.3 or 9.5 but it seems there is no option to do so. No More Heroes 2 is one of the most refreshing games in the most refreshing series to hit video games in recent years. It breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one, and had me dying of laughter from the extremely well done voice acting (minus one or two of the female characters). The script is perfect for what No More Heroes is, the perfect spoof of all that has gone wrong or right in the era of videogames. The gameplay mechanics or improved over the original, still feels like there is room for improvement but solid none the less. Suda needs to continue this series because with this much improvement over the first iteration I can only imagine what will come next.… Expand

   I really can't review a game like this without naming every single seperate thought so here it goes~! Kind of a "been there done that" I really can't review a game like this without naming every single seperate thought so here it goes~! Kind of a "been there done that" feeling in this one, but it's still phenominal. The bosses aren't as crazy as in the last game, but that's a hard standard to live up to. The final boss in particular is a crazy letdown. Combat is fun, but some levels last soooo long!! The battle for rank four, I think it was, had me fighting for about an hour untill I actually got to the boss. I thought there was a glitch and it would never end. Also, the game is WAAAYY easier than the last one, and you only unlock hard mode AFTER you've beaten the game. The minigames are funner than the last one, but that's not saying much, they will run out of entertainment value long before you run out of things to buy. I also can't express how greatful I am that they took out the overworld from the last game. The reviewers seem to have failed to mention that this is a niche genre, so if you dont enjoy simple beat-em-up old school games than rent this one before you buy it. The game is 18 hours long, which is three hours longer than the last one, but when you factor in all the time you spent playing the minigames in the last one it's about twelve hours longer. I'm glad that there are no admission fees for bosses (which is how it should have been in the first place). A few gameplay flaws are that they took away camera controles for NO REASON which sucks if your anywhere near a wall, and caused me to fight the same boss 60 or something times because I couldn't see what was going on, and I'm being seriouse! Also, the hyped giant robot battle happens really early in the game. Overall, the possibilities are endless. If they give back camera controles, made the clothes you can buy less tacky (and that's saying something since I still like Ed Hardy shirts), ditch the extremely unfitting noire cutscenes, and continue improving the minigames than the possibilities are endless. That being said it left me really hopeing that this becomes a franchise with a billion sequels.… Expand

I played it some years ago and I got trapped by his unique charm. It is much better than the first part. The mini retro-games add fun and some kind of nostalgia at the same time. Probably some people will find this game very simple, but If you want just action, fun and fanservice this adventure is for you. If you have the game keep it, NM2 is a strange gem.… Expand

Removing the fees to enter the matches was a great move, making the side missions only required to buy new weapons and to get Health/strength upgrades. Great humor, tight combat, but things can get a bit repetitive towards the end of the game.… Expand

   I was going to give this game a solid 10 but for the absurd difficulty on shinobus mission in sweet mode. Im giving it a 3 Yeah it starts off I was going to give this game a solid 10 but for the absurd difficulty on shinobus mission in sweet mode. Im giving it a 3 Yeah it starts off great but in shinobus first mission in the game after you battle bad guys you have to destroy things to take out beams that block your progress you have all the time in the world and no eemies are coming at you but there is one device on a wall I can not hit with my range attack or upclose It takes several trys to jump from the perch you can climb onto to the perch accross from this final one and even when your accross from it your to low to hit it with a range attack and you cant reach it So apparently you have to jump at it and hit or So I was reading but I just can't do it. ALso you think your gonna get to fight 50 people cause after you beat the first guy your told your ranked number 51 But then you fight number 50 and 24 of hiss groupies all at once as one on one battle you win and are now ranked 25 after 2 more battles 4 in total your ranked 23 your told you will fight 12 opponenets but you only fight one opponent And I guess something happened to the other 11 cause all of a sudden you are ranked number 11 or 10 Yeah I forgot the ranking Then comes the shinobu mission which starts off awesome but reaches a point where you wish there was an easier mode than sweet. Yeah I don't mind getting my butt kicked by one of the bad guys but when I get my butt kicked by a puzzle well thats just annoying.… Expand
