Killer 7

[avatar]

A friend of mine who works at GC Advanced let me play an import version(Same guy who let me play Kirby:CC). It's... fun.

You "walk" around shooting guys and solving RE like puzzles. It's pretty basic, but the different enemies aquire you to change your "personalities" (character) per game and different are better at certain enemies so their is a little strategy.

The thing I really liked was the story. My friend did a rough translation of most of it(it was in Japanese) and the story sounds pretty cool.

Negatives. The annoying catchphrases and for some the high level of violence. My favorite part is when a character dies you get the option of walking back to thier body,picking up thier head and ressurrecting that character at a save point.

Another negative is the graphics. I loved the cel-shading look however I know the same people who bashed VFJ and Zelda:WW for it's look with instantly distate this too.

Anyway I would buy it.

Played it at E3. He's the entirety of the gameplay experience:

1. Press A to run.
2. Hear a tone.
3. Hold trigger to switch to first person.
4. Press other trigger to make invisible enemy appear.
5. Shoot now visible enemy.
6. Let go of trigger.
7. Press A to run.

Those who love games simply because they're niche will probably praise from here to doomsday, but to me it was about as fun as getting cancer.

Woah Cancer? I mean.. A tumor yeah, but cancer?

Seriously I really liked the game. I see another Shenmue Love/Hate war to come from this game.

....Cancer?

Sounds like it's going into the Gungrave/PN03 bin.

I like Gungrave, but only for the fact that it brought Gungrave:OD into existance, which is an actual finished game... well, the graphics are still unfinished. Killer 7 isn't really a game per se, it's a movie that's pretending to be an interactive experience.

For me to like a game it actually has to be a game. The Sakura Taisen series is my only exception to the rule, and while I was willing to make another for Killer 7 it has absolutely nothing to hold my interest and the more I played it, the quicker the experience became more and more painful. I stopped played because I really couldn't endure it any longer.

But I can see it as an experience that will jive with some people, as some people think FFX is the greatest RPG ever made.

"Think", "FFX", and "greatest RPG ever" don't belong in the same clause.

[EMAGDNIM]

I have been reading some stuff over at gamefaqs (yeah yeah, I know)...anyways, it sounds like fun. MY friend ordered it and it should arrive today...I hope to play it this weekend...

[Clash!]

Its got wild graphics, wild story, and heads a splode. I'll buy it.

It's like:

Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!
Slice and dice!

Only with guns now.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I posted that.

Looks like trash. I was excited for this game. Come to think of it, the Capcom 4 was mostly fluff garbage. Viewtiful Joe was the only good experience we got out of it.
