I've only beaten the first 2 bosses, and I'm already a little over 2 hours in. I am having way too much fun with the mini games and such.

Holy shit.

I'm sad it's gone. I'm sad a few features in the first game are gone, too.
But damn they sure did a number on the graphics. This has to be one of the best looking titles I've played on the system.
Also, what's up with the beam katanas not having any visible stats?
And why is the gym so damn hard! heh
The Gym really pisses me off. The big dumbells the dude throws, especially. I HIT THEM DAMMIT.
There should be a points system instead of having to do a completely flawless run. It's such a money drain.
Also: the
fight made me wonder: do the katanas have different weight to them? It seemed impossible to win the clashes with one katana, then i switched to a different one and had no problem.
Regarding music: The overworld and battle themes are way better in this game (kill or be killed mix ftw) but so far I feel that the original game had better boss themes. Let's see if that changes when I progress.

I don't know if it's because I was on sweet, but I didn't have to do completely flawless runs for the muscle mini game. I think it does works off points, of some sort. (and I agree, I wish whatever criteria it uses was spelled out.) But when I got to the last couple, I got hit a couple times and still passed.

can someone make an avatar of that travis shot?
Copy finally arrived this morning, been playing it nonstop on MILD
It's great, but I got a few things bugging me
Pros:
- Bosses are insanely cool
- Ranked fights require no entry fee
- Sidejobs are fun this time
- Shinobu
Cons:
- Boss attacks seem to be much more predictable and easy this time (with the exception of the 4th boss), in NMH, when the boss was just about to die, that's when they'd be most dangerous with their insta-kill attacks.
- Miss the overworld, even if it was kinda crappy
- Music is not as good so far, a bit too much reliance on the Dark Side OST, which I already listened to death years ago
- Boss battle themes are not as memorable as NMH1, they even re-used a few for different bosses :/
- Where are the boss encounter intros with the robot voice? :/
- Cellphone conversations before a bossfight? :/
- Shinobu jumping :/
- Gym is BS

I've only been playing 6 hours and I'm already Rank 3, and have only bought 1 beam katana from Naomi.
I'm playing on Sweet mode, as I started on Mild and was instantly getting my ass kicked. Sweet mode is definitely not as easy as it sounds...like I said that one boss was a bitch. >_<;
Do I get the dual beam katanas soon?
Margaret was a bitch to fight!

I need help from anyone that's beaten the game:
I'm fighting the rank 1 opponent which is that stupidass bald kid and once I had lowered his health to a point it seems like its not decreasing despite the assraping I'm giving him.

So I just did the first revenge mission and what the fuck
Major WTF unless I'm totally missing something here
was that all about? I got a fax saying a chick wanted to challenge me at the university. I head out and choose revenge mission, it takes me to some underpass, and a lame timed fight against 10 random thugs ensues.

bad gameplay lol

You think that's bad?
That's not even his last form.

The Kimmy mission isn't the revenge mission. The Kimmy mission takes the place of the ranking battle on the menu.

It
takes the place of the ranking match. Revenge fights are just like the assassin missions in the first game. After you beat her, you go right back to who you were going to fight.

Bought the game today from Gamestop and noticed they had over 15 copies of it. I also noticed they aren't reserves because they were giving away reserve copies from a box. I hope they sell out quick

You're definately not the only one. I've been playing NMH2 since yesterday morning. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. The bosses in the first game were larger than life. Nothing I had ever encountered before. But, these seem to be the same with a few more tweeks. I do like the new overworld, but I do miss riding the bike around. That was part of Travis' persona. The mini games are cool. However, I miss the contract killings from the first game.
I almost didn't get this game at the TRU I went to today because they were almost sold out.
I also sorta haggled $15 off Mass Effect 2 with this game on accident. No one really knew what was going on though. Long story short: I remembered reading CAG, that there was $15 a Wii game in the form of a gift card when you bought NMH2. There was a $15 promo thing in their computer so they went ahead and gave it to me on a gift card. I went home, saw it was actually $15 off a Wii game when you buy a Wii game with Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, went back, and... they went ahead and let me keep/use the gift card after I told them what the deal really was.

I'm a little more than 5 hours into the game. Impressions below.
- I'm starting to like the space garbage mini game. It takes some skill though.
- The scorpion colleting mini game is just as dull as the one in the first NMH game.
- Shinobu rocks! Not sure what Grasshopper Manufacture was thinking when it came to the platforming though. Her jumping could use some fine tuning.
I wonder if Suda 51 would be interested in making an original game staring Shinobu. She's quite fun to play as especially with her special attack and jumping combo.
- I didn't really like fighting boss
. His main attack was just annoying.
- The boss fight intro against
was ridiculously cool.
- Didn't enjoy fighting boss
due to the platforming sections and having to constantly locate the boss without the use of manual control camera.
-
death was cool. I really enjoyed his short but sweet intro. Probably by favorite boss so far.
- I found boss
to be quite easy while using the long beam katana.
- The short list of one-liners from the standard enemies and even the bosses are repetitive and quite annoying.

I miss the hard guitar riff more than the voice. For me it was a reference to Killer 7, nothing more (a cool reference though).
I'm also 5 hours into the game, but didn't fight 23 yet... am I just slow ? Is it because I'm on mild ? Anyway, It seems that I'll have a longer playthrough, haha.
The
level is pure badassery (or maybe it's because of the FUCKING TIGER HOLY SHIT).

RANK 4: Best music in the game

Did it? I started the game with the Wii-mote speaker volume down and there were no sounds from the phone playing through my receiver. I only receive that audio with the Wii-mote speaker enabled.kinggroin said:
I really hated that as it was very difficult to hear everything due to audio break-ups that I always get with the Wii. :\ In concept, it is cool as hell, but it definitely doesn't work well for me.

bad gameplay lol
Doing a second playthrough of Mild, to see if collecting all the collectibles has any effect on the ending. Already up to Rank 5. Only took about 3 and a half hours to get there, too. :lol Got 100% collectibles now, but I'm wondering if I should try buying all the clothes too. 'Cause if it turns out you need to have 100% on the clothes, and I have to replay the game AGAIN because of it, I'm not gonna be happy. :lol It's just that grinding up all that money would take AGES.

Dark step working out for everyone? I surprised myself when I pulled it off in the first fight.
Would anyone refresh me?
