Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Killer is Dead

[quote name="fabio"]Did you want to like No More Heroes, but the self-aware grinding and stiff combat turned you off? Then you'll probably enjoy Killer is Dead. The combat is a lot smoother than NMH and while it's no Devil May Cry, it's fun enough that I'll play through to the end. It might technically be shallower, but I'm having a lot more fun with it than I did stuff like Onimusha or Ninja Gaiden. The story isn't as good as Killer 7 but it's decent enough and the better gameplay makes up for it. You're basically taking Killer 7 and sacrificing story for gameplay. Anyway this game got trashed by reviews. Since it's objectively better than No More Heroes, which got higher scores from every site, I can only conclude that it's either God Hand syndrome or that the games journalism SJW machine had yet to kick in in 2007 but was in full swing by the time KiD came out. You get new weapons by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKvv4mjou7k">staring at tits when their owner isn't looking</a> and I can just imagine what the Nathan Graysons thought of that.[/quote]
