I applaud this game for its extremely surreal, convoluted, sometimes incoherent plot, as much as some hated it for that. No More Heroes seemed like a disappointment in that respect; retained the Suda51 wackiness, but without any attempt at meaning.

I'm usually not a big fan of anime-style, every character is larger than life, dialogue consists mostly of one-liners approach to storytelling, but Killer7 finds a perfect balance of pure stylistic entertainment and food for thought.

It's a little bit disappointing that there are so many loose ends, and the presentation gameplay-wise is rather sparse (I didn't have a problem with it though), but it works great as a self-contained bizarre ride. The ending sequences absolutely blew my mind the first time.

Killer7 is over 3 years old now, so I'm wondering what other peoples' lasting impression of it is.

It's weird with Killer7 as it is pretty much completely unplayable and yet I do totally love it and remember it completely fondly. The music is totally fantastic, the characters are amazing and the disjointed nature of the story, while confusing and seemingly unfinished, made for an interesting set up.

Also, as you can tell by my name, the section with the Handsome Men was fantastic. The idea of Power Ranger Sentai terrorists is genius.

It came out for the PS2?

 Yeah. Quite a while after the GameCube version did with pretty much no publicity.

ya, but the ps2 version kind of sucked (im not a fan boy of either side, so dont say i am just choosing nintendo here). The ps2 version was messed up with massive load times and at the worst times possible like switching personas. Also (from my experience) the colors and stuff in it looked much less vivid, just might have been me though

Given the importance of presentation and style in Killer 7, the superior graphical aspects of the GameCube version (along with the lessor loading times) do result in the Game Cube version being considered the superior over all version, although the Ps2 version is still playable and features the same content.

Likely one of my favorite games ether way, although I prefer No More Heroes due to the superior game play.

Definatley one of my all time favorites, from its unique art style to its innovative gameplay mechanics its a must have. To truly appreciate the game i suggest the Gamecube version its just that much graphicly better.

Killer7 is the first time it occurred to me that artistic expression can happen in the same place as game design. I think it's a fascinating commentary of Eastern versus Western schools of thought, and the abrasive gameplay goes a long ways to serve the purposes of that commentary.

I think most of you misunderstood the gameplay to be honest. It is abrasive but it certainly isn't bad.

I love this game. The gameplay was alright, but the story was really what makes this game great. Well executed by SUDA-51
