killer7 (キラーセブン, kirāsebun ^?) is an action-adventure video game jointly developed and published by Grasshopper Manufacture and Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2. It was released on June 9, 2005 in Japan; July 7, 2005 in the United States; and July 15, 2005 in Europe. The game was written and directed by Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51, and produced by Shinji Mikami.

Gameplay

The gameplay in killer7 is that of an unconventional first-person shooter. The game takes place on rails, and the player, using the A and B buttons (or for the PlayStation 2, the Triangle and X buttons), directs the character on-screen to move forward or reverse direction, respectively. The most freedom the player has comes when the player reaches intersections, at which point the player must choose which path to continue.

A substantial part of killer7 is its puzzles – the player must collect rings that are required in some puzzles while other puzzles require a talent of a specific persona, and even further puzzles are solved when not using rings or character abilities based on heavy logic and thinking. There are six rings, those being Fire, Water, Wind, Time, Stamina and Power. If the player hears the twang of a guitar underscore, it means that a puzzle needs to be solved or an item needs to be used; items are used automatically for the player to solve puzzles if the item is in possession, though rings must be selected in order to work. A lighter tune is heard when the player has successfully overcome an obstacle.

When the player encounters one of the enemies, known as a Heaven Smile, it announces its presence by producing a maniacal laugh. The player then must go to first-person shooting mode and scan their surroundings in order to see it. Destroying any limbs of the Smile or hitting their weak "critical spot" consisting of a glowing spot on their body gives the player "Thick Blood" that can be converted to serum, the "experience points" of the game that can be used to level up each persona at checkpoints called "Harman's Rooms". There is a limit to the amount of serum that can be converted from Thick Blood, which varies between stages. Serum can be carried over each stage but Thick Blood cannot. Harman's Rooms sometimes offer the ability to save, though not all do, and always exist for blood upgrades and respawn points should one of the Killer7 be slain.

killer8

After successfully completing the game, a new Start menu will appear. The menu appears almost the same as the previous one except for the new yellow text and the words killer8. As the player starts the game a second time, the younger Harman Smith is now accessible as a new persona. Also new to this mode is the "bloodbath" difficulty mode. Nearly every single attack from a Heaven Smile in Killer8 mode is fatal. Almost every single character, save for Mask and Harman, can die from just one attack. In addition, critical spots are not visible on Smiles in this mode. The bosses are harder to beat, though the damage of their attacks remain the same. In the battle against Greg Nightmare in Target 05: Smile, the seventh Heaven Smile runs toward younger Harman Smith instead of Garcian, because there are now eight personas and not just seven.

hopper7

A final mode appears after the completion of killer8 called hopper7. In this mode the Heaven Smile look like normal people except they wear big grasshopper masks, and all are killed in one hit, as if their entire bodies were a "critical point". All other game play is unchanged; only the first level is playable.

Story

Characters

The title revolves around Harman Smith and Kun Lan, who are demi-gods, fighting a battle of good versus evil over several centuries. In the game's present, Harman has taken the form of a sixty-year-old assassin who is bound to a wheelchair, tended to by a maid named Samantha. He is capable of manifesting seven personalities into the real world, each with their own personal style of killing; the group is collectively known as the Killer7. The dominant personality is Garcian Smith, who, while in the presence of security cameras or television sets, has the ability to call upon the six other members of the Killer7 at any time. The other six personas, all with the Smith surname, include aggressive Irish-American Dan, barefoot Japanese-American female KAEDE, albino British Kevin, Puerto Rican Coyote, young Chinese-American Con, and Mexican luchador MASK de Smith. Unlike most multiple personalities in fiction (and all real forms of the disorder), Harman does not just think he is someone else; rather, his personas actually take on a unique physical body when called upon and each have their own unique set of guns and fighting styles. During the course of the game, the player is introduced to other ghostly figures from Harman's past that attempt to help the Killer7, including Travis Bell, the first target Harman assassinated, and Iwazaru, a subservient personality that appears from time to time in order to give the player hints.

Plot

In the near future, the Japanese United Nations Party is attempting to unify the world under Japanese control. To that end, Garcian Smith is asked by Christopher Mills, an agent of the United States to assassinate a number of targets that are working with the Party to prevent this from occurring. As Garcian and the Killer7 attempt these tasks, they find that their efforts are interfered with a mutant terrorist group known as "Heaven Smile"; the members have been converted by Kun Lan using his "God Hand" into living bombs.

One of the last missions takes the Killer7 to Coburn Elementary School near Seattle, Washington. While exploring the school, the Killer7 discover tapes that reveal that the school was a front for the Japanese United Nations Party to train young children to become assassins. One such child, Emir Parkreiner, was mentored by Harman Smith and stood out from the others, but his fate is unknown. Clues at the school point to a shooting massacre several years earlier at the Union Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the hotel Garcian discovers that all of the Killer7 personas were victims of the massacre, all killed by Emir, save for Garcian; Garcian's persona is actually that of Emir's, who committed suicide after realizing he had shot his mentor, Harman. Emir reincarnated as Harman, Garcian, and the other Killer7 personalities, but had forgotten his past, and relearns of the painful truth in the present.

Three years later, Garcian arrives at Battleship Island in Japan to put an end to Heaven Smile and to ease tensions between Japan and the rest of the world. He meets with Kenjiro Matsuoka, president of the Japanese United Nations Party, and insists Garcian make a choice: keep Kenjiro alive, which will allow Japan to rally underneath him for an assault on the United States, or kill him, which will lead to the United States discovering their elections have been rigged by Japan, and will lead to Japan being destroyed. Regardless of the choice the player makes, Garcian will discover that the last Heaven Smile is nearby, and gives chase. Garcian kills the smile to discover it is Kun Lan himself, ending the threat of the Heaven Smile.

The game concludes a century in the future in Shanghai as Harman and Kun face off once again.

Shinji Mikami has been quoted saying, "Me and Goichi Suda (the writer) are fond of plotlines that are 'open-ended,' and what I mean by that is, when you first play the game you will think, 'What just happened???' and it's not until you watch it all again that you say, 'Oh, he was talking about this thing or event here, or he was referring to that person' and it's not until then that the plot starts to make sense. These are very complex, very involving stories that you do not usually see in video games these days."

The reviews for the game were mixed. Review scores have ranged from 1 out of 5's from sources like Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro to 8 out of 10's from sources like GameSpot, IGN, and Nintendo Power. Edge and gamesTM, were generally enthusiastic about the game, and gave it 8/10 and 9/10. Some of the reviews from reviewers like IGN and Gamespot have stated that the Nintendo GameCube version is graphically superior, as well as having far faster loading times, and better controls than the PlayStation 2 version, recommending the Nintendo GameCube version over the PlayStation 2 version. The game quickly became a cult classic among gamers and was pivotal in introducing Suda51 to the western world. Interest soon formed in Grasshopper's earlier titles, which at the point had never been released outside of Japan. Flower, Sun and Rain was ported to the DS in 2008 and a similar DS port of The Silver Case is planned for 2010. Killer7's sleeper hit status meant there was substanstial interest in his follow-up game No More Heroes for the Wii which was well-received by critics.

• Christopher Mills: It's me, so, you there yet?
  Garcian Smith: You mean this shit hole?
  Christopher Mills: That's where they all hang out. Our information tells us that there's 14 of 'em.
  Garcian Smith: And they're all for huntin', huh?
  Christopher Mills: Naw, keep one alive so we can ask who their boss is.
  Garcian Smith: Anything else I should know?
  Christopher Mills: Naw, not really, you'll know it when you see them they're, uh, different.
  Garcian Smith: Will do.
  Christopher Mills: May the Lord smile...
  Garcian Smith: ...and the Devil have mercy.

• Cloaked Figure: You don't wanna go any further. It's dangerous. My friends are all dead. They were murdered...by people who look like this. (Transforms into a Heaven Smile) I have been chosen...
  Dan Smith: (Shoots him) Shit! There's more than 14. Those bastards are breeding...

• Hooded man: (runs from Heaven Smile) Help me! (stops to catch his breath, but Smile catches up) HELP ME!!!! (Smile attacks and kills him in an explosion)

• Angel: I'm the mother of this sacred place. Our four children served their purpose, they did not die in vain. But our other nine children were killed by you. (Rises from the chair) What do you want from us? We're only serving our gods. At Heaven's command, we will kill the unwanted. We must get rid of bad trees from their roots. I hope...you...are not one of them.
  Harman Smith: Good night, child. It's past your bedtime.

• Kun Lan: Oops, I guess my trick didn't work on you.
  Harman Smith: Tricks are for kids, Kun. I'm an old man.
  Kun Lan: Ahh, yes.
  Harman Smith: Nothing has changed for 30 years. No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same.
  Kun Lan: Ahh, yes. Like our chess games, you always seem to win.
  Harman Smith: Do you know why?
  Kun Lan: You tell me.
  Harman Smith: Because you're a bad player.

• Kun Lan: A new generation of children will bring order to this age.
  Harman Smith: You're a good friend. But unfortunately, our interests are not mutual. We have both become burdened with so much, and we don't have time for fun anymore.
  Kun Lan: Ho, there's always time for fun. It's Friday night.
  Harman Smith: Let's dance.

• Harman Smith: You awake from your dream?
  Kun Lan: Harman, the size of the world has changed. It's changed to the point where you can control it like a PDA. The world will keep getting smaller.

• Travis: Nice work, chief. Have you had your fill of picking off small fries? Well, the big fish are still fair game.

• Christopher Mills: What can you do when the whole world has its eyes on you?
  Garcian Smith: Almost everything. Destroying one or two nations, heh, it's an easy task here. The promise made thirty years ago wasn't a guarantee, it was only the beginning of a countdown. (Pulsar missiles fly overhead) Look at them, they're headed toward hell.
  Christopher Mills: What's sad is that we've gotten used to this, I mean our senses. It's pathetic.
  Garcian Smith: That doesn't necessarily mean that we're not human.
  Christopher Mills: Okay, now you're not helping.

Target 05: Smile

• Kun Lan: Check.
  Harman Smith: What a coincidence; check.
  Kun Lan: This time, the game is mine. ...Do you want to hear a story, Harman?
  Harman Smith: Why not?
  Kun Lan: There once was a young man who had a promising future. The center back position was his to keep and no one could take that away from him. Any play was a fair play, nobody blew the whistle on him. Everybody loved him. Not to mention his campus sweetheart... oh, she was something. They were the perfect couple. He graduated from Columbia with an MBA. His opportunity was infinite. He could do whatever he wanted with his life, but was he satisfied? No. Every night he would cry, begging the Lord. Something deep within needed awakening. Then one day it happened, that moment where the subconscious rises to the surface. Well the way it triggered was very simple. It happened when his mother came onto him one night. As if the spirit of Jack the Ripper had taken over his body, he stabbed and stabbed until you couldn't tell who she was. You know what I think? An angel whispered into his ear. The angel gave him the extra courage he needed to give her the divine retribution she deserved.
  Harman Smith: Sure she wasn't "the Hell's Angel"?
  Kun Lan: I'm pretty sure she only had good intentions.
  Harman Smith: You really are a villain.
  Kun Lan: I had nothing to do with it...But I must admit...My memory has been quite misty these days...

• Travis: There you are, Smith. I was waiting for you. Do you remember this hotel? Let's talk straight for a second. Well, suit yourself. I was stuck into this sofa. I found it again. What does this bullet mean? You know, right chief? The charade is all over, my friend.

• Travis: This is the spot where the homeland's elections originate. The spot for the primaries for the first presidential election. The first president of the US was the principal of this school. Win over your neighbors, and win over the world. That's the way politics works.

• Benjamin Keane: You and I, we're both sick! the only time we feel alive is when we put our lives on the line. It's a sad reality, but we people are never satisfied. We'll always seek a higher rush! The history of the United States rests within the walls of this institution; it's an old tradition that continued since the first presidential election! I want you to see it through to the end. And by the way, women are all the same!

• Yoon-Hyun: If you want to survive in this world, these are the words you should burn on your chest: "Don't rely on anyone."

• Travis: Can I ask you straight up? Why doesn't Harman fight? This conspiracy is Harman's problem. Harman's linked to this school. I know you can't believe it. But it's the cold, hard truth. If you have any doubts, go to the gymnasium. But I'm warning you, the truth is too big to even begin to scratch the surface. But Smith, I do believe that you can find the truth. I'm almost sure of it. Because you're on the ground. Mills waits at the hotel. The final battle is not far off. I'm telling you straight up, this is about it from me. I wish you all the luck, and die like a dog. Then laugh it off. I'll be waiting for you with a grin as wide as the truth.

• Dan Smith: So, you must be the one they call "the Bloody Heartland." You here to kill the Smiths, is that it? Rule of thumb; don't set your goals too high. What do you want? What do you want, huh?
  Garcian: You. (Shoots him)

• Young Harman Smith: Within you, ever so quietly, evil had opened its eyes.

• Kun Lan: (Harman and Kun Lan are playing chess) What took you so long?
  Harman Smith: Nice view, isn't it?
  Kun Lan: It's different. Time here is warped.
  Harman Smith: To finish this game peacefully is my last wish.
  Kun Lan: Guess that won't happen, we've been interrupted again.
  Harman Smith: Has another come to service?
  Kun Lan: Hmm, a sight for sore eyes.
  Harman Smith: (To the camera) Haven't seen you around for a long time.
  Kun Lan: Come in.
  Harman Smith: Please.

• Garcian Smith: (remorsefully) N..no. It wasn't me...it can't be. It's all a misunderstanding.

• That wonderful smile is gone for eternity. - Closing quote

Target 06: Lion

• Kenjiro Matsuoka: You boys are almost done here, you don't need to go around killing everybody any more. The last of the Heaven Smile is in the back, the big boss. If you do him, then that means you've eradicated all of them. No more terrorism. "Hail to the free world." But I wonder, what'll become of you guys if terrorism is the law of nature? No, you should kill me now, because you don't want us hanging around, know what I mean? If I'm alive I'll give you a run for your money, even an assassin like yourself. Better be prepared, because blood must atone for blood. So, which will you choose? Your own country, or watch our retribution? Your fuckin' decision.

• Harman Smith: Are you awake from your nightmare?
  Kun Lan: Harman, the world won't change. All it does is turn. Now, let's dance.

• Thank you for playing Killer7. - Closing quote
