The hard-boiled storyline of Killer 7 puts delusional hit man Harman Smith on the trail of an underworld kingpin named Kun Ran who has unleashed violent creatures called 'Heaven's Smile.' These crazed soldiers, affixed with horrific smiles, are wreaking havoc on city streets, destroying anyone unlucky enough to cross their path.
But Harman Smith isn't alone. He has a few aces up his sleeve. Seven to be exact -- alternate personalities, each with their own unique style of death-dealing. For Smith to give Ran the dirt nap he so richly deserves, he'll have to cut loose these members of the 'Smith Alliance' and let them go to work. Players will have an opportunity to play a clairvoyant mastermind, a knife-wielding loner, and a pyrokinetic, to name just a few.
At this point, the game's main calling card is its stark look. The John Woo-ish camera swoops in on the hyper-flat cel-shaded characters who are bathed in shadows straight out of The Maltese Falcon.
Killer7 is a stylized, post-modern hard-boiled action-adventure game featuring visual artistry and dark imagery with striking cel-shaded graphics. Killer7 chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined paths develop into a compelling tale of revenge and altering personas. Killer7 propels players into the consciousness of one man, Harman Smith and his seven different personalities. The players challenge is to stop a wave of indiscriminate violence that is plaguing the world.
Great game but too bad port Killer7 is for sure an unmatchable adventure, depicted in toon shaded graphics, with amazingly inventive dialogues, plot, scenarios... everything is amazing in a cinematographic masterpiece. You play an interactive film with cartoon-like graphics that would achieve any Oscar if Oscar'd be a serious stuff. Self-standish overlooker masterpiece whose moments you'll never forget after playing. What's not ok then?
Game's original version is GameCube one, widely superior in audovisuals and control precision (fundamental in the game), so buy this only in case you have not a GameCube
Strange Game but AWESOME afterall So first i though the game would be more like Resident evil (game is as gore as RE ^^ but the story is hell more disturbing than RE ^^)
The only bad point is you cant choose where to go (you follow a linear string ^^)but game is good ^^
Be sure to look video before buying it because it is a special game ^^
A genius collaboration between Grasshopper Manufacture and Capcom. Killer7 is definitely for those gamers who are open minded and are willing to embrace different gameplay ideas and conventions. With an amazing story written and directed by Suda 51 of of Grasshopper Manufacture and produced by Shinji Mikami, this is one of the best games that most gamers will never play. It is definitely mature in terms of story and graphical content, and it's gameplay is simple and effective. Killer7 envelops you in a twisted world filled with stunning cel-shaded graphics, excellently written dialogue, and superb voice acting. The music in this game is also phenomenal, and all Killer7 fans should definitely purchase the brilliant Original Sound Track composed by Masafumi Takada. This game will leave a strong impression on you. Killer7 won't appeal to everyone, but if you are tired of cookie-cutter game formulas and want to experience a radically different gameplay experience, definitely buy Killer7. You won't be disappointed. This has to be the best yet most underrated and misunderstood games of all time.
Absolutly crazy... Oh what a crazy game. I love Capcom because this is not a normally game, not a continue from a series - it's a new feeling and I think those games like this are hard to find. This game would be a classic game in the future - so buy it now!!!
