It's all about craft here and it almost feels like an omage to gameing itself. But this is a one you will never forget.

Killer7. What havn't you heard before? On rails shooter ina crazy setting as a multi-personality assassin under our control. We know. So what can I say? I rented this game years ago, played it for 3 days and have not forgotten about it since then. It shocked, impressed, awed and puzzled me and every piece of simple mechanics and recycled animation seems to somehow blend itself into the delusional world set around you instead of pulling you out. This is a game, flat out. It doesn't try for realism or logic but creates a strange place where those don't exist. Bad framerates on the PS2 version do NOT add to this though and are a pain in the patootie. The story has a lose sense of direction, sometimes not really adding up, but it maintains an odd unity of crazyness. That crazyness working beautifully with the colourful cut-scenes, stylized voice acting and mesmerizing visuals. It's not for most people. It is for people who want something Very different and can see value in oddness. It has drawbacks and I recommend using a walkthrough because it ruins the flow of the game to get stuck on something silly. But this is one game not to pass up.

And it's pretty lookin'
