No More Heroes is an excessively violent fighting game from the incoherent Suda51 set in the Californian city of Santa Destroy. The game revolves around one Travis Touchdown, an unlikable anime obsessive who decides to become a professional killer after blowing his last dollar on a light saber off eBay.

The game is all about style, with cartoonish figures, hard shadows, bizarre characters, and a certain sense of randomness combined with geek culture references both subtle and gross. It uses the Wii controls in strange and unholy ways to simulate sword-fighting. And wrestling moves. And mowing lawns.

No More Heroes cannot be described, you must see it for yourself. To that end, Chip Cheezum from the Something Awful forums has run through the game with commentary, cutting out the boring parts and speeding up the grindy bits to deliver the ultimate No More Heroes experience. I enjoyed it, so now I’m bringing it to you.
