Insanely ridiculous. That’s how I’d describe No More Heroes. And I love it.<\/p>\n

I was a fan of the first game<\/a>, but it had issues. In the sequel, many of those issues have been fixed. And as far as over-the-top goes, they’ve outdone themselves. It’s like the boss battle in the first game in which the boss kills himself before you have a chance to fight him. It’s like the shopping cart lady with the giant laser.<\/p>\n

I’m not far into No More Heroes 2, but in one of the boss battles, I was surprised when my opponent suddenly flew away. To outer space<\/em>. Then, he got into a mech. I was further surprised when my own character (in a cutscene) mounted his motorcycle, fired its rocket boosters to follow his opponent into outer space, and nonchalantly entered his own mech, commenting on how he’d been itching for a chance to use it. The boss battle became a mech vs mech battle. It’s insane out-of-the-box moments like this that make me love No More Heroes.<\/p>\n
