Downright illegal, both in content and fun..
Ugh.. I'm close to burning this game and laughing at it burn. Alright, let's be honest. The first one was decent. I didn't love it, and the humor wasn't really high. It had some boring gameplay moments and lackluster story. This isn't the game that you'd want to get your kids. Come to think of it, it's not the game for you or your kids. It's downright crappy and easily profane. Violence is everywhere. When you kill enemies, what doesn't happen? Loss of lungs, an extraordinary amount of blood, loss of body parts, decapitations, screams of pain, the list can go on. It's very graphic and not fun at all. Role models are just terrible. Travis Touchdown should of been kept as he was in the first game. He was actually a funny character and was very likable. Now, he's just crappy. He makes Dora the Explorer look like an endearing character. Dead serious.. Language offends, and it comes with an overwhelming amount of mature sexual content. Whenever a character talks, they're either talking about something idiotic and something sexual, that can offend. Jokes about sex, crotches, breasts, rape, sexual intercourse, testicles, butts, and strippers. Intercourse jokes? Why? Anyways.. if you thought that was bad, it doesn't end. There's an incredible amount of adult themes, period. The story, jokes, and violence all relate to the same thing. Rape, Murder, Beatings, Sex, Gore, etc. The list will go on for months. It's terrible to play. Oh, and there's one more thing I haven't mentioned yet. Language. If you've played this game, you'll know what I'm talking about. It almost can offend as much as Conker's Bad Fur Day did. Examples include "F**k", "S**t", "A**", "D*mn", "B**ch", "Motherf**ker", "D**kf**ker", "Vaginaf**ker", the list can go on. This game can only take so much of a beating. I can't suggest you buying this game for you or your kids if you like action games. Come to think of it, It's not for you even if you don't. Instead, bolt bullets through your Nintendo Wii's core system, throw it out the window, give it a hardcore beating (slam it on the wall, stomp on it, etc.), pour gasoline on it, and then get out a butane lighter, and you know the rest.

Really fun, and none of the offensive content (and there's plenty) is meant to be taken seriously
Yes, the sequel to one of the best Wii games ever made is violent. Yes, there's a lot of pretty suggestive imagery. Yes, there's a lot of bad language. But, none of this should be taken so seriously. My goodness! No More Heroes 2 (and the original game) is a satire of how over the top a gamer's point of view can be. This game picks up right where the first game left off. And here, it's almost all about the action. The worst parts of the first game (the rather restricted open world of Santa Destroy) are mostly gone. And what's left in is awesome. You don't have to do odd jobs to get money to go to your next "mission" (read: killing spree). But if you do do them, they're fun 8-bit games that would be at home in an NES collection. And No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle is one of the Wii titles every hardcore gamer should get (that is, if they're 15 or over). Common Sense's review was rather biased. Yes, this game is gory (and extremely so), but like MadWorld, as well as the first NMH, the violence is so stylized and over-the-top that it's actually funny at times. Think what would happen if Tarantino directed a Bugs Bunny cartoon, and you're not far off. The sexual content isn't meant to be taken seriously, either. Goichi Suda (the creator of NMH) is just trying to satirize the suggestive aspects of anime and other video games. There are clips from an anime show called "Bizarre Jelly" that has a magical girl-type character's clothes suddenly disappearing (all you see is a bare butt, but if you've seen most anime you've seen far worse). The innuendo is strong, and there are some lingering closeups of skimpily dressed women. But it's not as serious as Common Sense says. It's about as bad as most PG-13 rated films and TV-14 rated TV shows/anime. The language, however, is definitely R-rated; F-bombs pop up A LOT. Overall, although No More Heroes 2 has a lot of offensive content, it's a fun and funny satire of the excesses of video games and anime, as well as the fans who watch and play them. As such, it's not for the Wii Fit crowd. If you're a hardcore gamer that's over 15, this is a must-buy.

Oh my, a good, exclusive, rated M third party game for the Wii?
To any parent who thinks "this game is just awful since its too violent!" Grow up and enjoy this great sequel, yes its not meant for kids but isn't it obivious that its rated M for Mature 17? Most third party games for the wii are either boring, shallow, or broken mini game collections you parents seem to buy for your kids. Either way No More Heroes Desperate Struggle is the sequel to No More Heroes which was also a great game. The game still has the violent gameplay where you slash your enemies with a beam katana until the game it prompts you to finish them off and it is still just as satisfying. The story is you set out to kill JR.Batt who killed your best friend yet you need to be #2 assassin to fight him. The game still lets you purchase new clothes, do side missions which are now played in a 8 bit style like NES games, buy new beam katanas, and you even get to help your cat lose weight which is cute. The controls are solid though the camera can be annoying at times especially at small areas. Overall, plenty of content to enjoy here folks and as long as you're not easily offended, its a strange but great game.

Your a crazy parent if you let children under 12 play this.
An amazing game but still the blood and gore is crazy for a wii game.I got this for my Wii when I was 12 last year and play this 6-9 hours every day.Although I admit I'm too young for this game,I can handle it and I'm not crazy or anything.But still,the amount of blood and violence.Goddamnit,whoever made this must be out of their minds.And I'm an extremely hardcore gore gamer.Not for anyone under 12.
