The story is way better that I expected, considering the clusterfuck of violence.
You'll easily finish the game in 3-6 hours, but there's a lot of replay value in the game and you can do DeathWatch Challenges with a second player. The bosses are really fucking cool and original, and the announcers are hella funny, although it's hard to hear them over all the ownage. But you can easily fix that with the Sound Options.
Gameplay itself is rock-solid, and the controls, while taking a little bit to completely adjust to, are solid. The only time I ever had a problem with the controls is against Death Blade, but I easily got over it.
When you beat the game, you unlock more weapons and you unlock the Hard Mode, which... really is fucking hard.
I found myself dying in the tutorial level. The tutorial level. Sooo I'll be playing Normal for a little while longer.
The black-and-white scheme for the game works really well. There isn't a single moment where you'll find yourself wondering what's happening. Plus, it's just really really fucking stylish.
Overall, I'd probably give this game a 9. It would definitely be a lot better with more multiplayer elements though. I recommend you buy it, or at LEAST rent it and see if you like it. I can definitely see this becoming a classic Wii title, just like No More Heroes.
Oh, and the motorcycle levels are fucking gay. But luckily there's only two of them in the whole game.
