Product Description

Killer Is Dead is the latest title from the demented mind of celebrated game creator, SUDA51, serving as a spiritual successor to his previous cult favorites, No More Heroes and Killer 7. Stylish cell-shaded visuals set the mood in this gritty, bloody, ultra-violent world where biomechanical augmentations increase the power of criminals and "executioners" alike. Mondo Zappa, a newly recruited executioner, hunts criminals wielding a Japanese sword in his right hand, and the crushing power of biomechanical engineering in his left.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for Suda51 fans
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
I love this game, being a fan of Suda51's previous games. That being said there have been many mediocre reviews I've seen so I'll point out the flaws in this game first:
The game is short, I beat it in 7-8 hours. I enjoyed it enough to play it some more after beating it but besides score chasing there isn't too much re-playability here.
The game is not for the people that like to see realistic graphics (obviously I would think) and environmental destruction. It has Suda's signature flair to the visuals and sounds/music, but if you haven't played any of his games you should watch a couple gameplay videos first.
Apparently the fact that you have to look at women's breasts is a downside to some critics, but I had absolutely no problem with it.
Now for the good stuff:
The combat seemed smoother and more polished than any other Suda game. Hacking apart enemies with the stylized blood spatter is very fun.
The story was pure Suda and was nice and dark.
The visual style is very different, and I found it very refreshing and reminiscent of some anime I've seen. I planned on getting this game eventually, but watching the trailers is what made me preorder.
So I guess to conclude:
Suda51 fans - buy this game
People looking for something different visually and storywise - watch some trailers, then buy this game
People that don't like quirky Japanese games - You don't exist

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Game
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
Amazing game, good Graphics, nice sound track, not bottom mashing but Awesome and deep gameplay, beautiful Art style which fit the game perfectly, side quests and challenges are nice and challenging and of course Love the Gigolo Missions, story isn't that bad we've seen worse its More a like a Dark Anime story, which fits just right with this game game and Suda's Style.

It's unique and Fresh, and a Nice fast pac Action game and its a decent one, much more like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry actually it's better than Current generation Devil May Cry don't concern about those reviewers out there who became just a business tools, and gives game such as Call of Duty the same high score for years for the same game with no innovation, we want more different games and styles with fresh ideas like this one, FPS killed this generation and killed innovation.

I wish it was a little longer though.

Please go buy this game, it deserves gamers supports

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game; Short Play Time
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
This game is just stupid fun. The fighting mechanic is fluid and intense, and nothing says epic like the overdone battle system implemented in this title. The art is beautiful and unique, and the main character has all the bad-ass personality traits you want in an action game.
Unless you're offended by the pick-up side missions with the "beauties," they're a silly change of pace that had me laughing, at the least. Its just an over the top interpretation of picking up girls with some interesting pg-13 cutscenes later on.

My only, ONLY issue with this game is the play time! Its just not NEARLY long enough, being easily beaten between 7-8 hours, or less if you speed through it. The story is easy to get swept away in, and then suddenly you're already at the final boss. I was quite dissatisfied with the loose ends this game left as far as story since it has such a premature ending due to play time, and I beg and plead it gets a sequel to explain some of them. However, its more of an artistic/author's decision, like when a book/tv show creates an environment that only makes sense to the main characters, since there is never a "fish out of water" character introduced. The characters in this world are apart of it, so don't expect explanations. Its kinda fun to interpret your own conclusions, but I would've preferred a couple hours more of story.

But the last boss alone is worth the buy! Talk about epic...

Overall, I'd say this is a great game, and I'd give it 5 stars moreso because the playing/action mechanics are so fluid and ridiculously fun to play as, so as a GAME it succeeds in entertainment. However, there are shortcomings that knock it down a star, since the side missions are quite dull and the story is just too dang short to want to drop 60 dollars on this. I got the limited edition extras which make me happy I bought this for its full price, but without these extras, I'd suggest waiting for this title to drop down to $40 at least, since you won't get too much gameplay out of this.

Pros:
-AMAZING combat and gameplay mechanics; very fluid and over the top
-funny "beauty" missions that give a change of pace
-great boss battles
-interesting character designs
-beautiful art style
-straightforward level design that's neither infuriatingly long/hard to navigate, nor small and uninteresting
-DLC mission 51 is a great additional level that is a must-download to give more story (is included with first wave of releases)
-the main character is just bad-ass
-one of the most satisfying and epic final boss battles I've had in a while

Cons:
-short story, (easily 7.5 hours or less if you speed through it) leaves you really wanting more
-if you want a story that will wrap up all questions and explain things, DON'T buy this game
-dull side missions
-not very many of said dull side missions

Final Conclusion:
This game is worth playing, but is just too short for its $60 debut price (although I'm glad I got the "limited edition" first wave extras). Wait until its $40 or less (or maybe even rent/borrow it), but definitely make this game something you've played, and something you own if it lives up to your expectations.

If you are a fan of Suda 51 work, then you pretty much know what to expect and don't bother reading reviews online. Just buy this amazingly stylish and bizarre but appealing fun game. It's not the GREATEST VIDEO GAME IN THE WORLD, duh!!! BUT it is a damn good one that will keep you busy for some time if you dig Suda 51 work and who doesn't? Also, for the price of the game which was $59.99 it came with a kick ass 80 page hardcover art book, soundtrack CD and bonus DLC content ALL for the price of 99% of retail games in the market today. Normally other companies would force you to fork over 75-100 bucks for all that stuff but this only charges you 60 which is the way it should be with all games. Honestly, if the art book, cd, dlc, etc wasn't included, it should of been $49.99 but don't let it stop you!

Llego mut rápido. Buen precio y buenas condiciones. Pero si fue publicidad muy engañosa. Y es la primera vez que quedó decepcionado con algo en Amazon. En las imágenes del producto se ve la edición especial. Que incluye un libro de arte y un DVD. No pensaba comprarlo, pero por el precio creo que no podía desaprovecharlo. Lamentablemente no. No era ninguna edición especial.

No voy a hacer ninguna devolución. Ya que inicie una colección de juegos de SUDA51. Así que ni modo, me sirve y repito todo excelente. Menos que si fue una jugada muy sucia poner imágenes de la edición especial. Adjuntare la screenshot y pues lo dejó a su criterio... Fui yo el despistado? O fue publicidad engañosa?

(not a review of the game but the overall product)
The product doesn't come with extras like hardcover illustrated book, ost etc. Like shown in the product images. Really disappointed. Would be returning the product and whoever is planning to buy it, beware of the false advertising.

(Edit: Amazon was kind enough to provide a refund on this game even though it's non returnable. They have my respect for this)

Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2014

19.99 for Special edition with the Book and CD. Considering just the game itself sells for 30 elsewhere. A great deal.

I know Suda makes interesting games like Lollipop Chainsaw and Killer 7. It a bit underrated because people were offended by some of the content.

The way you get information in this game very interesting. Not going to spoil it but it defiantly is different.
