No simple "Delete/Erase" option?

Finally got it today! Last copy at EB Games. I won't get a chance to try it until tomorrow night though since it's late and I need to be up early in the morning.

Man your gonna have a great time. I havent had much time to play it since im only up to the 8th assasin. College takes alotta time. But yeah its great. Especially the cutscenes. Its filled with curse words to the point where its funny.

Adding swear words into a game doesn't impress me but the characters and all the bosses do. Having lots of fun so far and I just beat the 7th ranked guy.

Its not the fact that swear words are in the game. Its the fact that they are used in a almost a comedic fashion. And the game pretty much bleeds its own style. Thats what i like about NMH. Once i get done with my tests and essays im gonna go right back to it.

I still think I'll rent this, as I can't afford to let another game get in the way of my Brawl.

Yeah thats why i put a preorder on brawl as soon as i got the chance. So i could get other games during the horrible wait for brawl. And NMH is the best 3rd party game out there right now. So why not get it?Its a great game and helps support the Wii 3rd Party "epidemic".

I'm not going to get it if I don't think I'll enjoy it. And as it stands I don't think I will enjoy it, plus I need to start my PS3 fund so I can have one by the time MGS4 is close to release.

Made it to the 3rd rank now and while the main mechanics do repeat themselves a bit (side job, assassinations, bosses) with other things sprinkled in the characters are all amazingly developed. Each and every one crazier and more eccentric than the last. They make Travis look sane which should be punishable by death. However, as I play through it even more I notice how the only real things wrong with the game are terribly broken. The lack of a retry option after missions and the frustratingly unfinished feeling city. The retry thing would've been so frickin simple to add and yet it's missing while the city could've just used a lot more polish plain and simple. That will probably lower the score I give it but I still don't see it dropping lower than an 8 unless at the last fight the boss just commits suicide and I instantly win.

what would you give it out of 10?

When I was about 80% through I would've said 8.0 (ironic, I know). But now that I've finished it, and once you're able to get the full story and the real ending you appreciate it so much more and just the amount of story and twists Suda was able jam int the final 5% is amazing and it's great to see the game actually go past its simple "I wanna be #1" thing.
I don't want to give a score yet since I'm planning to write a review and I'll wait for that, but it is over 8, under 8.7. Haven't really nailed it down yet because I've still got one fight to go so I'm 99% of the way there.

Also, I came across this awesome scene. You won't need to worry about spoilers until the girl starts talking really fast, but even then you can't always make it out. It's still part of the gag. But to understand it fully I guess you'll have to know about Duke Nukem Forever. If you don't then the quick story is that the game has been in development since 1997, has been delayed a countless number of times and quickly became vaporware. No release date is set even now.

And for those of you who've beat the game and want to know what the girl said when she was sped up, there's a video on YouTube that slows it down. It's right here so of course there's spoilers people!

But it is a great way to piss off Jack Thompson, and who doesn't want to do that? That's why I'm buying Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for my PC here pretty soon.

Eh, they should have spent a little more time tweaking the controls/gameplay. I have no problem with a score around 75%.

I don't think they could have refined the controls any more than they did.

The only place I see where improvements could made is making Santa Destroy more exciting. Different vehicles, pedestrian interaction (and it doesn't necessarily have to be killing them), possibly different weapons like guns, ect.

I don't think guns would've worked and it was perfectly fine with just the beam sword. The enemies with guns or projectiles of any kind felt really unbalanced though.

And like Pancakes said, Santa Destroy was the only disappointment of the game. All the cutscenes and characters still more than made up for it.

The bean katana was more than enough, but it would have been cool to be able to rent guns to use just in the city.

Those machine gun enemies really do suck too.

They're the worst when you're in a free fight mission. They were hard enough to begin with and then trying to go up against 4 or 5 guys throwing baseballs or shooting at you made it impossibly frustrating.

The Pizza Butt Finale mission is a pain in the ass too.

Was that one of the assassination gigs? If it's the same one I'm thinking of then I fully agree. I don't remember if I've beaten it yet either.

edit: After checking my assassinations list I finished the Pizza Butt Finale with a Bronze rank but it was number 19 that I couldn't do which was essentially just a free fight mission disguised as an assassination mission.

I didn't get to mission 19. I bet I won't like it though.
