A sequel to a game that never warranted one. No More Heroes 2 is a decent title in its own right, as the hack-n-slash combat still feels pretty good. However, it feels more flawed than the original game (whereas it should've been a step-up), and the story itself feels a little too in-your-face with its characterizations in lieu of a profound narrative.

Still, there's a lot to appreciate, such as the great soundtrack, unique boss designs, and it overall bares some of that blazing style that Grasshopper Manufacture is known for.
