No More Heroes is still a great game, if a little inconsistent; dozens of inspired moments with the dullest sandbox world yet produced as the hub, sacrificing fun for drudgery, yet somehow getting away with it, a fast-paced action game, coupled with a frame rate volatile when you do anything too fast. This is a deeply flawed game but it is brilliant; overcoming a multitude of shortcomings and refusing to be crippled by its own flab. How did it manage to turn out so well? Grasshopper magic, that’s how.

Elsewhere, the additional features are bare. HD visuals look great, but it all honesty the game looked great to begin with, and the upgrade is barely noticeable. One billiant new addition, however, is the ability to stock up on ‘Dark Side’ powers. Originally, you were forced to use them instantly, whereas now you can stack them, and use whenever you want. This made us very happy indeed.

it was four long years ago when we first got to experience one of designer Suda 51’st finest works with the Wii-exclusive beat ’em up No More Heroes. The game brought with it Suda 51’s trademark punk rock flavor, a gorgeous cel-shaded world to explore, and plenty of over-the-top combat. It was a pleasant surprise, especially for the Wii, which was (and some can argue still is) lacking in excessive brutality and gore. Now PS3 owners can have the chance to experience one of 2007’s finest brawlers and be introduced to the unforgettable Travis Touchdown.

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise takes the original to a HD platform but doesn’t radically alter it. In some ways this is a good thing, as the original was a great piece of mayhem in the first place. However, if you are thinking about double dipping then there may not quite be enough changed about it to go for another round, but what is here is very welcome. The significant graphical upgrade, the addition of some new jobs and the chance to fight bosses from Desperate Struggle are all reasons to be excited. However, it is probably the return of blood that will have the most impact. When the red stuff does fly it is a bit gruesome, but more often than not it’s bloody hilarious and played for laughs rather than realism.

Much of the criticism aimed at Santa Destroy is technically fair and holds for this version of No More Heroes: it is largely barren, with stretches of nondescript block housing and boxy vehicles alongside the most basic of NPCs. But this isn’t meant to be the kind of sandbox environment we’re so familiar with.

You can also replay boss battles or rewatch cut scenes, but the only really significant change is that Heroes’ Paradise is based on the ultra bloody North American version of the game, rather than the original European and Japanese ones. The violence is so over the top it’s impossible to be offended by it, but at times it’s so over the top it actually detracts from proceedings a little.

Having played the last No More Heroes on the Nintendo Wii, the PS3 port of No More Heroes – Heroes Paradise is actually far superior, thanks to the slight graphical overhaul and refined control system. Travis is a fun character and is easy to control due to the decent controls of the game so jumping straight into the game will pose no problem to the gamer. The only issues with the game is the sometimes repetitive gameplay and odd graphical glitches. Add in an online leaderboard, mini-games and that bloody entertaining beam katana which makes all my Star Wars fantasies come to life and No More Heroes – Heroes Paradise is the perfect game for those looking for something light.

When No More Heroes was originally released it received pretty good press but disappointing sales. Thrown into a Wii market dominated by casual games for casual gamers, the decidedly ‘older gamer’ orientated No More Heroes struggled. With No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise being a straight port you get the great original game in full HD, but you still get the things that didn’t quite work. The many identical henchmen start to grate and the boring and awkward free roaming gets also gets annoying pretty quickly. But, you also get and enormous amount of style, strangeness and violence. There’s plenty of fun and simple gameplay, broken up by fairly tactical boss battles and surprising plot twists. And you get to kill a lot of messed up people.

When Travis saves, he saves on the toilet; when his batteries run low, he holds the handle at waist height and cranks on it until it fires back up; when love interest Sylvia bends over, he checks out her behind. He’s a simple man with a simple mission, and his world is infected with insanity – villains include British body-mod fetishist Death Metal; Virtual Boy-wearing Letz Shake; and Destroy Man, with his laser-firing crotch. They are, by far, gaming’s strangest bosses, and every one fights a very different fight.

I was hoping that this section of the game would have been toned down for the PS3 release, as it was probably the most commented on issue with the Wii version. Alas this is not the case.

Nettement plus accessible que les précédentes productions étiquetées Suda 51, No More Heroes reste un jeu à part dans le paysage vidéoludique, même trois ans après sa sortie sur Wii. Poseur comme pas deux, rebelle, rageur et plein d’humour, le titre de Grasshopper – proposé sur PS3 dans une version partiellement optimisée mais non censurée et gratifiée de quelques bonus – ne déroge pas à la réputation d’OVNI déjà attribuée à ses prédécesseurs. On sent bien sûr le manque de budget en se promenant à Santa Destroy ou dans les décors cheap conduisant aux dix assassins à abattre. Pourtant, on se laisse embarquer par l’intrigue délirante, les personnages inoubliables, les combats sous adrénaline, la recherche artistique et la foule de références à la culture pop. Une virée endiablée dans un univers d’otaku aux règles archaïques, auquel le joueur doit se plier pour décrocher le paradis. It’s game time !
