TRAVIS, IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED
No More Heroes 2 is weird, and in many ways at that. It feels like for every thing it does right, it does another thing very wrong. The sidejobs were made more fun with an interesting style, but their also completely optional. The combat is deeper and more frenetic than the first, but the fun, if flawed, open world was scrapped for a simple world map. The story takes the power fantasy that the first game parodied and plays it rather straight, only to change gears and continue the first game's message on violence, with even more character development for my boy Travis. And the endgame throws 3 amazing and emotional bosses at you in quick succession, only to end the game with one of the dumbest bosses I've ever fought. The entire thing adds up to a mixed bag, but it's a bag I did enjoy. Plus it's got a banging soundtrack and CAPTAIN VLADIMIR!!
