It should be noted that the story is much, much, more complex than the (partially incorrect) story summary would have one believe. - Orikaeshigitae
Seriously, what the heck is up with the "Story" section after this sentence: "This operation takes the form of a giant bridge reaching across the Pacific."? It becomes disjointed and rather different in tone. - Eihwaz
Isn't the official title "Killer7" not "Killer 7"?
- On a magazine in Italy, the author of a killer7 article stated that the title is "killer7" (with lowercase 'k'), it seems that Capcom asked the magazine to write the name in this form. For Kaede Smith the correct writing (same previous sources) is "KAEDE". I'm not sure about the case bits but i'm sure that is "killer7" and not "killer 7" --Gmilza
OKAY, now that we've all played the game through to the end, it's time to edit this whole entry, which seems to be based entirely on gamespot/Ign previews from a year ago. - Apossum
So, is the current Story section better? It's a really complex plot, I'm sure very few people can explain it accurately in text. - Cronohyper

[edit] The game is "on rails"?
That's a pretty poor description. Rail shooters usually have constant forward movement, with no stopping or reversing, like Star Fox. A better description would be "an adventure game with gunplay". It resembles point and click adventure games, in that you try to find certain objects to let you progress, and complete puzzles and such. It's not anything close to a rail shooter, even if you don't have complete freedom of movement.
- It's a better description than you might think, when you think about it. You have two options: forward or back. You're given the chance to change rails occasionally, but still have the same option - press onward, or go back. Exploration is anywhere from minor, to impossible, and you are always riding the rail of where the game believes you need to go. The only difference between Killer7 and your StarFox example is that Killer7 allows you to turn around. --Dal 23:14, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Er no, I think he's right, on rails is a terrible term to describe Killer 7. On rails would be a game like Time Crisis. Or as the on rails description states, "like a rollercoaster", which is something K7 sure as heck is not. I believe the adventure game description is in the right step, although you would need to describe it better than just the adventure label. So stop being self-centered and form a compromise rather than stubbornly refusing to cooperate.
If you want to get technical about it, yes it is on rails, however it has much more in common with early 90s point and click adventure games than a standard rail shooter. The only real difference is the lack of pixel hunts.
[edit] Controversial?
Can someone explain why this article is in Category:Controversial computer and video games? I don't see anything mentioning controversy at first glance. --WikiSlasher 14:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not finding anything mentioning controversy, I have removed the category. --WikiSlasher 07:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Screenshot
The pre-release screenshot should really be replaced with a current one. I don't have the time now, but if nobody puts anything up in like a week, I'll grab something through my TV tuner. 128.226.230.89 17:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comic Book
Should there be a small paragraph summarising the comic book and the way it develops the plot, or should it be concidered fairly un-important? Devilmaycare 21:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
