The first suda game i ever played. I became obsessed with this game and suda after beating this as a kid. The plasticy graphics are super chilling

@GameCubeGalaxy 20 дней назад

Heck yeah man! Yeah this was the first Suda51 game I played as well, and still feel it’s his best work (but I do love his other games like No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned). Thanks for checking out the review!

@scottwarren6719 20 дней назад

Definitely one of my favourites on the gamecube and probably suda 51's best game. The sound design is also fantastic. Great review!

I love Suda 51 games. I have this one, brand new and sealed, but I played it on PS2 many years ago. Only Suda game that I don't own is Michigan: Report From Hell for the PS2. It was released only in Europe and as far as I know, it's one of those "so bad it's good" games.

@GameCubeGalaxy 19 дней назад

Nice! I originally played this on PS2 back in 2006 cause it was $10 back then when I got it, and while I really enjoyed it then, the longer load times ruined the flow of the game. I never heard of Michigan: Report from Hell! I'll need to give that a look! Thanks for checking out the review!

Killer7 is one I've always wanted to play. I love Suda51 so this has always been one that I needed in my collection. The plot sounds very intricate but I think you've done a good job explaining it without spoiling anything. Wow I had no idea this had rail mechanics. That's pretty cool that you can upgrade personas in this. That menu screen does look nice. I already wanted this before but this looks even better than I imagined. Awesome review!

@GameCubeGalaxy 21 час назад

I can’t recommend this game enough to you man! Such a fresh, inventive, one-of-a-kind experience. Haha thanks, it may have taken almost 20 years, but I definitely understood the plot more now than 16 year old me 😂. The overall mechanics truly are in a league of their own. I promise you, you’ve never played anything like this! Glad you enjoyed the review man!!

@BackupPanic07 18 дней назад

This game looks amazing on a CRT, and I bet even a modest remaster for the latest generation with proper HDR would look even better on an OLED TV. Great review, as always.

It really does look awesome on a CRT, but even revisiting it now, it holds up so well. Thanks for checking out the review, and glad you enjoyed it!

I picked this up a couple years ago, trying so hard to like it. But the controls just baffled the hell out of me. Seeing you talk about it though makes more sense so I want to go back to it sometime. I love the experimental titles like this on the GC, and I’m glad it’s in my collection regardless haha

Couldn’t agree more!! Games nowadays could learn a LOT from games during this era! The games back then were far more creative and had more soul in them. Thanks for checking out the review, and glad you enjoyed it!

Killer7 has captured my imagination since I first saw screenshots of it in a Game Informer magazine, all the way back in 2007-2008. I didn’t know about the PS2 version back then, and I didn’t have a GameCube as a kid, so I had to wait quite a while until I could play it on my Wii. That PS2 port is actually supposed to be inferior to the GC version, with long load times and bugs to boot (though when I tried it last year on an HDD connected to the machine, it worked just fine). Can’t say there’s a game quite like this one though. Definitely one of my secret favorites.

@GameCubeGalaxy 18 дней назад

Nice! That's awesome you got it eventually to play backward compatible on the Wii. Yeah, the PS2 version is how I first played this back when I got it in 2006 cause it was only $10 when I bought it months after release, and the loading times definitely ruined the pacing, and the analog stick was slightly off with aiming. Glad you're a fan of this game, and appreciate you checking out the review!

@@GameCubeGalaxy I think Curtis Blackburn is another one of my favorites. Probably the closest thing to a Western style quick draw showdown that I've seen in one of Sudas games.

@humblemudgames 19 дней назад

Killer 7 really is almost like a proto-Persona with its visual flair. I played 2-3 chapters of this game back in the day but didn't beat it in time for the rental return. I didn't know there was an HD port! I just ordered that from steam for a fiver! Fantastic review as always!

@viddysgamingviddyos4710 20 дней назад

I couldn't help noticing the cutscenes generally didn't have captions, which, for someone like me, might make the complex story even harder to follow. Also, the constant of mention of personas - surely this isn't connected to the Persona series in any way... Still, I might give this a try, either on GCN or maybe Steam.

@rustylasagna 19 дней назад

The UI certainly feels like it walked right out of a Persona title. Would definitely recommend either GC or Steam version, the former demanding a high price.

@GameCubeGalaxy 18 дней назад

I believe you can enable subtitles in the options actually, which might help! Haha correct, there's no connection to Persona, but the characters here are personas lol. Hope you give it a try one day! Thanks for checking out the review!

Recently bought a lot of rpg style games, something I missed out entirely just playing other things my whole life. I picked up path of radiance, skies of Arcadia, baten kaitos, an a few others. So cool being able to play these for the first time ever, an like the saying goes better late than never

@paulakroy2635 17 дней назад

Killer7 is one of the most interesting games I have ever seen. A lot of auteur developers either have really out there stories or out there gameplay and but killer7 is just out there on both. I have never seen anything close to killer7 ever again. But it’s also funny and not overly protenious. It’s also a game is mostly complete and seeing Suda run wild on an actual budget and no restrictions was sick. I think it’s flawed for sure but it’s games like these that really make me appericate the 6th generation.

@@GameCubeGalaxy Killer 7 was my first Suda game, back then on the Game Cube. I was totally fascinated by the staging and the completely different approach to video games. Since then, I've played almost all of Goichi Suda's games and I'm still a big fan of his work. But none of them come close to K7. My top 5: Killer 7, No More Heroes 1, Killer is Dead, Samurai Champloo, Shining Soul 2. I also think Liberation Maiden for Nintendo 3DS is worth mentioning. I put a lot of time into that too. 😆
