Dr. Peace releases his debut single

He may be ranked 9th in the UAA assassins' competition, but Dr. Peace is the first of the No More Heroes cast to release his own single. An 8cm (3") mini-CD single of "The Virgin Child Makes her wish without feeling anything" will be available from Grasshopper Manufacture's website on June 25.

The disc will contain four versions of Dr. Peace's signature tune: the "normal" version, sax and trumpet versions, and a (presumably) instrumental karaoke version. We'd gladly pay 1,000 yen ($9.50) for such an item if we could, but, like everything else in the GHM store, it only ships to Japan. It makes us want to listen to some sad music, but ... yeah.

Karaoke version you say.

Dr Peace wasn't the best battle, but he was the most memorable boss character. He should star in his own game. I'd buy it.

I ultimately didn't really care for No More Heroes. The combat was too repetitive and you couldn't tell what you were really doing to the enemies. It was just button mashing and then suddenly you'd find yourself pushing back against the enemy, occasionally. The DMC games are like that, too. You just kind hit the enemy, but it doesn't feel like you're actually fighting with them the way in does in God Hand or Ninja Gaiden. As a result, it feels very disconnected.

What really killed it for me was the open world bit, though. I don't like sandbox games because they don't really have clear direction to them...and NMH's sandbox world was so half assed and aimless that it ultimately killed the game for me before I got a little more than half way through.
Really, I probably would have been able to overlook the open world part had the combat been more focused and not so random/disconnected feeling.
But the characters were all likable (except Sylvia. She was irritating with that over done accent) and the music is awesome, too.

This has been samfish's Offical Belated Review of No More Heroes. I'm sure you were all looking forward to it!
