Is it worth watching X-Play to see some No More Heroes footage?

We say it is! No More Heroes is the pinnacle of Wii awesomeness. Unfortunately the G4 website is the nadir of annoying Flash navigation. You have to click "Videos," then the X-Play icon, then the No More Heroes link. But once you've jumped through all those hoops-- beautiful gameplay footage. And English voice acting!

No More Heroes looks as stylish and cool in motion as it does in stills. Sword combat looks great, with insane duels ending in explosions of blood. It looks like a real action game-- much more so than Killer 7. The motion-controlled Beam Katana charging is, well, inspired. The wrestling moves appear numerous. And then, as if merely to fill space, there's a surprise Suda 51 interview.

No, there's no explanation of the tiger graphic. Yes, we're a little disappointed too.

Nothing is worth the visual and audible torture that is X-Play. All they do now is lame ass sketch "comedy" about videogames. They really don't even focus on them anymore.

It's the epitome of suck.

I would pose this better question, "Is it worth watching X-Play because of Morgan Webb?" And if you ever have seen this show, you would know, the answer is unequivocally "no". Even a rather attractive girl can't help this lame show. I agree with Bad Mojo, this is the epitome of suck. It's a template of what not to do for a show like this.

Sweet merciful god, those presenters are the worst I have ever experienced. just horrible. I'm not sure if it IS worth it...maybe, but only because this is an awesome game. but even so, it's a close call.
