An initially compelling story with a fun battle system that as the game goes on loses all sense of intrigue and becomes a slog. Half the cast is rather bland and worthless. There's a lot of interesting ideas here, as a technical achievement it cannot be praised enough and there are enough good things here for me to say it isn't a bad game but by the end of it I was a drained man. Auron deserves better, as does Yuna.

With No More Heroes 1 I was incredibly glad I waited as long as I did to play it as it was a game I surely would not have fully gotten at my stupid 14 year old age. In total opposition I wish I played this 10 years ago because this is dumb as shit and I would've totally overlooked that.
