I picked it up today at Walmart in Canada for 39.99$. I thought I'd give it a try and see what the fuss is all about. I played it for about 10 minutes. So far I've found the camera to be quite infuriating and the graphics (though good in style) lack the polish that would have made the game that much better. For example, the characters you talk to in the game in cut scenes are static images yet they show the main character moving and talking. What's with that? And that load screen they use is ultra pathetic. Is that the best the art team could come up with? I'm also not liking the major aliasing. No More heroes also had a lot of aliasing but it didn't bother me as much. The black and white style makes the aliasing stand out that much more.
So far my opinion of the first 10 minutes is that the game came out half baked. It could have been much better had it been refined for another 6 months and they should have hired more competant camera animators.
Also, the lock on system is broken.....
I have yet to see anything in the game that couldn't have been done with full color and texturing on the Wii so far. I have a feeling the black and white artwork was used to cut costs and not for performance reasons. |
The cut scenes are supposed to mimic a comic book. Sin City, and probably a Steranko comic or two, serve as the main inspirations for this game.
The only problem I've got with the lock on is that it takes a second of holding to lock on. Beyond that, it works fine for me.

The opening cut scene was the only one I'd seen up to that point and it wasn't very well done. The one's I've seen since have been better. It's as if they tacked the opening on at the end of development or they made it very early on and never updated it. Either way that cut scene at the beginning was poorly done.
The lock on only half works. I push the button and the camera will move to that enemy only if I walk in his direction. It's exteremely annoying to fight a boss when he runs right behind you because there is no easy way to turn yourself around.
I haven't remapped the jump yet as it's pretty well useless anyway. The only jump I had to do was on the first stage.
