Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Reviews
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a maddeningly repetitive experience and should be avoided at all costs.
Travis Strikes Again doesn't live up to the name No More Heroes or the talent of Suda51 and bores for almost seven hours with blunt action, uninspired level design and the eternal unwinding of the same processes.

Serving as a spin-off of the previous two titles, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes features some of the charm and DNA of the past games, but mostly ends up as a disappointment after the years of waiting for more from this unique series.
I really wanted to like this game, but it makes it very difficult. From the bland levels to the horribly repetitious nature of the simple combat, Travis Strikes Again is a really mediocre time. And that gamebreaking bug certainly didn't do it any favors either.
While Travis Strikes Again features a good story and well written dialogues, its reference won’t be understood by players who approach Suda51 works for the first time, greatly undermining their enjoyment of the game.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes has almost lost all the factors that made the original game and its sequel cool and fun. This is not the reunion we were looking for, so let’s hope that they don’t drop the Death Ball in the third main game.

While fascinating art style, catchy music, and Travis Strikes Again storytelling can be appealing to Suda51 fans, superficial gameplay, repetition of campaigns, bad design, enemies and bass have wasted the game's potential. TSA can be a fun experience if you have multiple problems and can cope with the repetition of gameplay. Otherwise, we recommend you don't go overboard and wait for a new title experience from Suda51 to No More Heroes 3 release.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is an appetizer for the main course that is sure to be No More Heroes III. Indeed, it is best served in short, bite-sized chunks, which its short levels are perfect for consuming in such a way. As a whole, this isn't the strongest entry in the series, but then it doesn't feel like it was intended that way. Sitting down with a buddy in local co-op is a fun first for Travis, and a decent smattering of extra game modes helps to stretch play time a bit.
Travis Strikes Again is more of an appetizer for No More Heroes 3, and it’s hard to consider it a full fledged title. But if you are a die hard fan of the series, maybe it’s not a bad idea to give it a try.

It’s going to be hard to recommend it when I’ve knocked it as being repetitive several times (which is ironic, when you think about it). But then, that’s what usually creates a cult classic: it may not come out to critical acclaim and rapturous praise, but if the little seed of charm is in there somewhere, it just needs time to grow. It’ll be tough, and not everything it grows will be to everyone’s taste, but there’s something in there that you want to survive.
Suda51 is nothing if not subtle. His games always feel outrageous and over-the-top in ways that can be difficult to hold onto some measure of appeal. I love his stuff solely because I can never expect what he’s going to do.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is without a shadow of a doubt a good game. But, it doesn’t try and push the boundaries of game making though. Without the Travis factor, this game would be fairly average. So the non Travis fans will not have as much of a good time as the fanatics. As much as it pains me to say this, I am having to judge this based on how good it is, rather than how much I liked it. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes has been awarded a Thumb Culture Silver Award.
