You play the game as Travis Touchdown going to be the number
one ranked assassin. Trying to make some money since you are broke. You hear
about a job where you can kill someone for some quick cash. Then you are some
how put into a ranked fight with a group called the United Assassins Association.
While working with a girl called Sylvia Christel. Where they have some of the
best assassins around as you try to battle your way up to reach the top.
The game is a cell shade cartoon type game. As light and
darkness play a lot with how things look. Also making it into a last generation
graphics game that is blocky on some stuff and melds together with some colors.
Some with not many things to look at as you travel either down a hall. Or even
out in the main world to get what you need for your next mission. Riding around
on your bike or just running looking to see what you can find in dumpsters to
be either money or some of your cloths that you can change into. Giving you
options to get different gear and look style if bored.
The combat is far the best part of the game as you use your
beam katana to slash and cut down anything in your path. While having to stop
and charge up the battery you do a very suggestive motion to do so. As you move
your wii remote up and down to do either a high attack or a low attack. Some
enemies can block your attack so you have to be able to switch when you want to
damage them. You can also charge up your attack for a none block hit but leaves
you vulnerable and you loose a lot of charge to your katana. When you get them
either in a near death of major damage you can do a killing blow. Where you
have to swing your remote in the direction on the screen or it fails. Some time
you swing your sword and hit an enemy’s weapon at the same time making you do a
battle for control if you will then its right to a killing blow. After killing
them you get money to upgrade your katana in the middle of ranked missions is
optional but wanted.
As you go to your ranked fight you get waves of enemies
going through the areas looking for the main boss. They get annoying in some
area's but you make money and get better practice and hone your skills to take
down what’s coming. As you kill them the blood runs everywhere and you say
things that can be funny about their deaths. With each death you get a chance
to go into dark side mode. Where you have five different types of special attacks
for a very short time. Entering it makes you almost unstoppable showing no
mercy to anyone. While looking for some spare cash lying around or card to go
on your wall. Even wrestling techniques to help in your next battles to take
down anyone to stand in front of you.
The boss battles are very memorable each having their own
unique fighting style. You have to learn quickly how to take them down and when
to attack. As they give you a run for your money trying to kill you. Each
battle you do gets harder and some more twisted than the last, showing super
natural powers to just plain skill. Making you want to do the next ranked battle
right away to just see your next opponent.
The overall is that is a violent game with a lot of adult
humor. With epic boss battles that make you want to keep going to take on the
next one. While killing minions can be fun but gets a bit repetitive. Making you do
a lot of side missions to make money that seem taxing after a while. As the
cell shade is cool it just feel bland after a while going around the city. And
the story isn’t much there just get to rank one and be the best.
So I give the game a
6.9 out of 10
