Killer is Dead (Grasshopper/Kadokawa Games) 360/PS3 2013

[shaffy_oppa]

Basically the Premium Edition plus an art book and poster in a box. I'm unsure if the DLC is different and there's no mention of a reversible cover.

I think you've convinced me simply with the faster part. I think my main issue with NMH was the boring open world and making money before you could progress.

[Yakumo]

Ah, there's none of that making money crap in this game. It does have missions and areas to chat up women but no open world missions like in NMH.

thanks for the info on the fan edition. Not really bothered with art books or posters so I'm not too upset.

is it true the gigalo mode has you trying to stare at boobs without getting caught to build up a meter so you can give them a gift ? sounds like something a teenage boy would think up

Been seeing mixed reviews and opinions on this, but to be honest I can't wait as I've loved pretty much everything else Suda/Grasshopper have put out. Cracked and imported the other day instead of waiting for the PAL release too

yep, it's true. You also put on a special pair of xray glasses that let's you see through their clothes.

Good to hear about the money making thing. Was never really an issue for me though, the baseball mini-game mission thing was really easy so I just repeated that one over and over..

Got good reviews from Europe, currently on an 83 Metacritic. Can't wait to get my copy!

I've got the Fan Edition on pre-order but not sure if it's worth it.

Not sure if it's one for keeping after it's been completed so might just get the normal version.

It's about ?12 cheaper too.

EDIT: Scratch that. Amazon have the fan edition down from ?50 to ?40. Bargain!!

[teddymeow]

Then again, Eurogamer have given this 5/10.

IGN 5.0 too.

Not great.

[EvilBoris]

A Suda 51 game that is a bit ****?

Isn't that as predictable as the sun rising tommorow?

[ETC]

Cancelled my order, have a hunch this will be ?17.99 soon enough. Having paid ?40 for lollipop and Ps3 NMH I'm waiting it out this time I think.

[Guts]

The only thing that is a "bit ****" is that Eurogamer review.

And IGN... Yeah.

Not great.

So? Most reviewers don't know **** and have been playing games for about two years.

[MoFo2]

I have been playing games for years and I still don't know ****.

Based on style alone I want this game.

[wakka]

That said, from Contact to Lollipop Chainsaw, Suda51's games always feel slightly off base to me. It's like he's got loads of great ideas and bags of style, but the games are never quite as good as they could be.

Still gonna play this though obv, just not immediately as it drops the same day as Rayman (and I ****ING LOVE Rayman).
