Rise through the ranks of the U.S. assassin rankings. A beam katana tears through a "slaughter" paradise. Goichi Suda's masterpiece, *No More Heroes*, has descended upon the PlayStation 3 with a fresh look. Otaku youth Travis Touchdown, wielding a single "beam katana," engages in a frenzied deathmatch, aiming for the top of the U.S. assassin rankings. This is a stylish action masterpiece where extreme violence and surreal humor collide. ■ Vividly, and more beautifully. Unique visuals stand out with HD Completely refined from the original version, which was well-received on the Wii, the graphics are now in HD. The strong contrast and vivid colors of the comic-book style Santa Destroy are further enhanced by the PS3's rendering capabilities. The visual expression, where even the splattering blood feels beautiful, is truly worthy of being called a "paradise for heroes." ■ Slash, throw, and recharge. A one-of-a-kind action experience The swordplay with the beam katana, the main weapon in combat, is full of the exhilaration of slicing enemies to pieces. Break through enemy guards, slam them with wrestling moves, and finish them off with a final blow. Also, actions like "recharging" the katana's energy when it runs out, and Travis's gritty, human-like movements, accelerate the tension and fun of the battles. ■ Deathmatches with the insane top-ranking assassins Waiting for the player are assassins, each with a unique personality that defies common sense. Each has their own beliefs and special combat styles, standing in Travis's way. The dedicated direction and music prepared for each boss battle emit a heat like the climax of a fighting game, maximizing the catharsis of victory. ■ Here's the highlight! This work is not just a simple port, but has the value of a "definitive edition," lavishly incorporating the elements fans have been waiting for, such as new modes and the addition of Japanese voice acting. Through the life of Travis, a man, is depicted a vulgar, yet pure "aesthetic of killing." This is a powerfully individual piece that those who are tired of existing action games should definitely play.
