![]() Bad gameplay or not, Travis Touchdown is a landmark character. ![]() Yeah, the pacing is messed up by the open-world bits, and a lot of it's really boring, but the characters, the writing, the world the game illustrates, they're all amazing. If you haven't played it, I'd say the game is worth playing, despite the flaws. I love the game, but replaying it was very depressing, because it just reveals all of those flaws. If you do mind those (like me), it's not worth the money. If you don't mind those, then you should pick this up it's the definitive version of the game. Get to the open world bits, experience the bad minigames. If you have the Wii version and you're aching to replay it, I'd play some of the Wii version first. There's nothing else like it out there.įor the rest of us (aka those of us who want to play games), it's very difficult to wade through the quagmire that is the gameplay to experience the wonderful characterizations and plot. If you're okay with going through some majorly flawed gameplay just to see that, then you should absolutely get this game. Honestly, I think the main reason you should play this game is for the story and the characters. If you're really into the combat, it's a cool feature, but that isn't the game's main appeal to me, so I didn't really get into it. There's also a Score Attack mode where you can fight every boss in the game under a set time, with the top scores going on online leaderboards. Now you can replay the good parts of the game without having to go through the rest of it. You can also replay any ranking fight or cutscene from your armchair in your hotel room, which is a great feature. ![]() They made good selections of who you can fight, and all of the fights are pretty much exactly the same as they are in 2, though in a different setting. They don't really add anything to the experience.Īfter coming back from a few assassination ranking fights, Travis can go to sleep on his toilet and fight a few assassins from No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in his dreams. ![]() You can tell they were designed to show off the Move controls, but they still control alright on a PS3 controller. There are a few new assassination missions and side-jobs, but they're nothing special. The world is dreary and empty there are a few collectibles you can find, but they're near worthless, and searching for them is one of the most boring experiences I've ever had in a game. You can earn money in three ways: there are trash cans throughout the world you can bash with your bike to find small amounts of cash (and some t-shirts), but they're limited and not useful or you can take "side-jobs" (generally awful minigames) to earn decent amounts of cash and unlock assassin side missions, which have you killing enemies to reach a certain objective for the largest amounts of cash.īetween doing these missions (most of which are boring), you have to drive around the blank, boring town of Santa Destroy on your bike. After killing the assassin above you, you go back to your hotel in the town of Santa Destroy, and you're blessed with the tedium of grinding out money to pay for upgrades and the next ranking fight. One of the worst facets of the original game was the forced open-world gameplay. The issue is the application of that combat. The combat controls are fine, and fighting generally feels satisfying, with your enemies exploding into fountains of blood and coins after you pull your finishers. You have to swing the PS3 controller up and down to recharge your battery, which isn't as analogous to masturbation as the Move/Wii controller control scheme is, but it still works. This works well most of the time, though it doesn't feel as satisfying as swinging the controller, but that's not really an issue. The finisher, instead of being activated through swinging a controller, is activated by moving the right analog stick in the indicated direction. ![]() The Dualshock/Sixaxis controls are alright, on the whole. There are a few other places that were designed with motion controls in mind, but we'll get to those later. It's your basic character action gameplay, though you hit a button to swing your sword, and you swing the controller in a direction to pull off a finisher or do a wrestling move. The Move control scheme is basically the same as the Wii version's, and the Wii version had alright controls. Like No More Heroes 2, Heroes' Paradise has the option to play with your motion controller (the Move in this case) or the traditional PS3 controller. Once you start playing the game, it all starts.falling apart. ![]()
