Sterling McGarvey of g4tv.com reviews No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle on the Wii. Another review, another calling it a great sequel in the series.

With 2008’s No More Heroes, a critically acclaimed game that was a modest worldwide hit, Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture finally hit paydirt. Now, its Executive Director, Suda 51, gets to realize his dream of a sequel with Desperate Struggle, one of the most cheerful and funny blood-spattering games I’ve played in some time.

Desperate Struggle, like its predecessor, is a linear brawler in which you fight through waves of thugs to reach a boss who possesses some unique ability. It's all presented as a cocktail of over-the-top violence, with grim and self-aware humor, as an homage to classic gaming. The sequel puts you back in the shoes of Travis Touchdown, a sewer-mouthed geek who's as comfortable with girly magazines, anime and pro wrestling as he is with handily decapitating waves of anonymous goons that spew money from their wounds like a Vegas slot machine.
