This review focuses on the port and its differences from the original rather than the game itself and is intended for those who have already played NMH on the Nintendo Wii. SCE's addition of the Move made it an obvious candidate for Move support as NMH was one of the handful of games I personally found to be enhanced in the fun factor on the Wii due to the addition of motion controls. In all fairness these are basically limited to vertical shaking (to recharge the Beam Katana), rapid circular motions (during weapons clashes) and motion specific slashes (finishing moves or throws), but I still found them more satisfying than basic game pad controls. Many of the mini-games dispersed throughout NMH also make fair use of motion controls, which have, for the most part, been replicated with the Move. While the game...

I had been anticipating this game for quite some time, as I had never had the chance to play through the Wii version. In some respects I am very disappointed, but the game does deliver in others. I'm an optimist, so let's start with the good. Quite frankly, this game has some of the best cutscenes I've ever seen in a video game. I'm saying that while openly stating that the graphics are pretty awful for a PS3 game. However, the sense of humor and style in each of the boss scenes will at the very least elicit a chuckle out of you, which is something that most new games fail to do. I openly cracked up laughing during one of the scenes when Travis is asked if he feels fear, and his response is "Wouldn't know, never felt it." It's somewhat reminiscent of the movie Kill Bill, except with more humor and less intellectualism. In addition, the boss battles are truly...

Crass language, over-sexed characters, glitchy graphics... But honestly, I loved this game on the Wii and I love it more on the PS3. The graphics have vastly improved coming over to the world of HD, but they're still average when compared to the PS3 library of games. The horrible bike driving remains, and some extra boss battles from NMH2 have been added. The game works well with the PS Move, but I'm enjoying playing it with a standard controller, for accuracy's sake. And really, the awful translations and dialogue really are part of the charm of this game. Santa Destroy is a bland city, but for some reason I love it, and the story that's being told. For $40, this probably isn't a good buy, but for $30 and under it's a worthy addition to your collection if you have a dark sense of humor. |
