Can't wait to play this next week ^_^
Totally agree with robotzombie. I'm only three hours in, but it outdoes the first game. It's even more absurd and wacky than I expected. The first batch of stages are a bit short, but I guess that has something to do with all those additional bosses.
As for the side jobs, they give you more money than the ones in the first NMH. They are certainly more fun, IMO. I was able to buy my first beam katana after doing one side job for a few minutes. It also helps that you don't have to pay a registration fee for the ranked fights, too.
I also noticed the game uses tracks from the No More Heroes Dark Side arrange cd. It's good music, but I was hoping for more original Masafumi Takada tunes.

That's the best part! The game should be all bosses, no levels.
As excited as I am for the NMH2, I really, really hope Suda reverts towards his more deliberate style ala Killer 7/Michigan. Not saying the latterest is great, but he's the closest thing we have to Lynch in this medium and JFuck, it's time for some push towards something greater.

You actually liked that? okay...
Fuck yeah. It was absolutely brilliant. Repetitive action combined with a violent motion to provide a split second of adrenaline and the physically impossible screams of the fallen. That's why the combat was able to hold its own so well. You DIDN'T like it? Okay...akachan ningen said:

No, probably because I don't get an adrenaline rush from something like repetitive action. It would be nice if it was that easy.

Yeah, as much as I like NMH, I would have preferred another game like Killer7.
Problem is that Killer 7 got cut because of its megalomaniac ambitions (which still made a fantastic game, as it made you closer to the "simple pawn in a huge machine", I'm replaying it now btw). It's great, but I think the market needs something more accessible to move forward.I Push Fat Kids said:
... if it does, as NMH isn't exactly recognized for its writing (and God knows that it should be...)
Maybe his EA project ?

I'm aware you fully responded but I have to say I've never fully agreed with someone more so than this with No More Heroes. I remember replaying the killing missions to purchase tsubaki(sp?) mk. III and I had forgoten about the time and was merely doing it for the above mentioned. 3-4 grunts with 1 finishing blow? Truly delightful & entertaining pure poetry in motion.

Perhaps its me solely but I greatly appreciate now that we will be able to dress Travis in hoodies. Purely aesthetic sure but highly welcomed nonetheless.

Of course they did.
This is really why I wish XSeed had picked up the series instead.
It would get better treatment and probably a bit more advertising.

I think they look pretty bad though. Only the PS3 can give Travis's clothes the physics they need.

Speaking of, I really hope I can unlock concept art again. I really enjoyed doing that the first time around.
Here's a couple more

Contain nothing we haven't seen from trailers
And yes, I could gaze out the Concept Art work of the 1st one for ages

So, was it an exaggeration when it was said there were upwards of fifty boss characters in the game? or
?
are like thirty of them that one cheerleader squad we saw in a trailer
The_Technomancer said:
I think it's closer to the former, and being a bit of an exaggeration. I think the IGN review or preview said that about half of them are cut out near the beginning. If someone who got this early and beats it can share the total number of boss fights, I'd appreciate it!

Quick and simple question: the original NMH JP version had some differences to the NA version - mainly censored blood and some different music. The NA version retained the blood that was cut for the JP release, and replaces some music.
Is this trend the same for NMH2? Any additional changes?

Oh. Strange. I guess it's safe to assume the NA release will retain everything and have nothing changed then (blood, music, etc).

Err, the charging portion is a big part of the overall challenge and general franticness of the boss fights. You aren't taking it out because you don't think it is funny, you are taking it out because it makes the game easier.

No.
Nekobo said:
Good gravy, that's what I was in fear of. It's bad enough that I find the whole half-naked loli anime to be creepy, but I don't want other people in my house to see it while I'm playing. So embarrising. :lol
Question: Does Travis have any new attack moves and special moves besides the Tiger transformation and the new wrestling techniques ?

Just explain that you're playing a game based on Japanese culture.

About the cheerleader squad and boss numbers:
Also about the jobs:
Any other questions, let me know
Yes the cheerleaders each count as a boss, even though its one boss fight. You go instantly from rank 50 to rank 25. However, I've gone one by one since then, so unless you fight some kind of twins or another group boss, it may be roughly 27 bosses or so.
Also about the jobs:
Frankly, I find the jobs kind of annoying. They take a little bit TOO long to go through. They are all fun on their own, but if you are playing them just to make money, I believe they could get pretty annoying pretty fast.
I think the easiest one for money is the steak cooking game. I get about 30,000+ from it consistently, and all you gotta do is hold A to cook the meat to the same color as what the guy asks for. The bug game is fun but a little too much for just a money making game. I HATE the road rash type game, but then again I hate road rash. The coconut game isn't anything special either way. The pipe game is pretty much pipedream, so if you like that game, you know what to do. The space garbage collecting game sucks and is really frustrating because you constantly get bounced around by meteors. Theres a tile game which can be quick or very annoying depending on you, and doesn't seem to give much money (unless you do it super fast maybe). If I'm leaving any out, its probably because I just don't care for them.

Travis needs to make a joke about her playing his flute.
So this guy is doing a walkthrough video on youtube:

Looks really awesome... the last video gets to the stage of the rank #50 fight.
Definitely a big step towards Killer 7's style of presentation... Suda doesn't seem to hold back in this one.
