First No More Heroes 2 Review: 8.8 from IGN

It seems that IGN automatically gives +1 to every game they consider "hardcore" on Wii (or whatever their stereotypes about "hardcore" are).

NMH (7.8) as good as WSR (7.7)? NMH2 (8.8) as good as NSMBW (8.9)? MadWorld (9.0) and TvC (9.0) both better than all these games? I like Suda51 for his quirky art design and twisted view of things, but he's not as good game designer as those who made WSR and NSMBW. I've played NMH for about 3 hours forcing myself and eventually I gave up, never finished the game.

Fool me once, shame on you, Mr.Suda, fool me twice, shame on me.

I agree that Madworld was overrated (most gamer's would accept an 8.4 better) but NMH and TvC are in different genres, so they don't compare to those Ninty titles. NMH has a style of its own similar to how WSR has one of its own as well.

 

A game's score should be based on its own merits, [and] how it compares to previous similar titles within that genre on that same console.
