And I'd have to say while it started off just a tad slow, it becomes such an awesome game about halfway through - especially when you get a hold of the multiple-bladed weapons.
The boss battles are by far the most memorable portion of the game - especially the fight against this assassin who moonlights as a magician (or is it vice versa? Ahhh who cares..) where he'll invert your controls, flip the screen upside down, and periodically use you for magic tricks. Awesome.
It gets better as the next fight has you falling asleep on a subway train and having to play an old-school vertical shooter while Travis is dreaming, instead of slicing your way through droves of enemies again.
I'm going to say that Grasshopper Manufacture is my favorite game company right now. After the interactive art that was Killer 7 (the most underrated game of all time, mind you!) and now No More Heroes, they've made a rabid fan out of this jaded asshole

. Just thought I'd post my opinion.
