I've got the PS2 version of this, might get round to playing it one day..

Got it originally for ?13, swapped it next day.

Got it again for ?3, might give it another go.

It'd be so much better with lightgun support.

It's REALLY superb. Stick with it through the first level... it'll slowly make sense. It's really not a great introduction to the game. It's grimy and dark.
Once you get past that it just gets better and better.

SMITE!! Seriously dude. Get playin'! You'll love it!! Though I'd go for cube if you've got the choice.

It is one of those rare titles that stick with you for, well, life basically It has for me that memorable atmosphere that I so love in games and books. Keeps me on the edge all the time too Very much like playing Resi Evil as the threat of death is never far away (I am fairly crap at games).

Just started this again for the third time and finished the first stage, looking forward to getting to Cloudman again, and the last stage.

Really could do with the sleep right now but I think i'm going to have to get in a late night sesh on this.

Did anyone enjoy the PS2 version? I picked it up yesterday and the Dual Shock was, well, shocking for aiming. Took it straight back today

Looks like I'll have to get a Cube or a Wii to get a suitably 'playable' version.

Looked awesome too.

Yeah, the controls are tighter on the GameCube pad and the art direction really makes Killer 7 stand out.

Played through both versions myself (with quite a gap in between mind) and enjoyed both. Nothing in particular bothered me about the PS2 version but i've always preferred the cube pad.

In my new search for something to get into I started two games up last night and the recent PC rerelease of this was one of them. It's an interesting game to go back to as I haven't played the game since finishing back on its original release.

The available options for the game are pretty basic, not a big issue as it runs fine from the get go and with the minimalistic visual style the bump in resolution is all you're going to be looking for. The game is just as visually striking and strong as it was the first time, what I can't marry with my memories of the GC version is the controls. On PC they feel overly sensitive which can make aiming for enemy weak points a bit of a faff and I can't recall if they were always like that as I don't remember having those kind of issues. Generally I remember the game for its visuals, the gameplay experience itself never particularly impressing me so it'll be interesting to see how it fares all these years later.
