Just wanted to say I got this game & played through around April/May this year. It's an outstanding absorbing experience. Very unusual and totally unique and memorable because of that. I found that there's an underlying monologue or message being portrayed as well. Also a peculiar surprise when you beat it first time too !

I still don't understand why Garcian's eyes are glowing green in the final chapter. Anybody have any idea? Also, giving the player the choice to kill or spare Matsuoka was... interesting, but I kind of wonder what the point was, since it only makes a slight difference in the ending and occurs literally within the last 5 minutes of the game. I guess you could say it has some thematic significance - Garcian is finally choosing for himself - but it would've been nice if the game had given us some sort of similar choices earlier on.

I liked the scene in Shanghai a hundred years later, reinforcing the notion that Harman Smith and Kun Lan are archetypes, destined to fight eternally while maintaining a close relationship. Exactly what they're archetypes of is not so clear to me, which I also like.

I wrote up some final thoughts on my blog. Which mostly boil down to my having no idea what's going on here, but being very glad I spent time here nonetheless.

After i finished playing Killer7 my first time, i went to gamefaqs.com and read up on this plot analysis guide -> http://www.gamefaqs.com/gamecube/562551-killer7/faqs/38193 I found the author's interpretations quite illuminating and it reinforces why i believe Killer7 has the finest story i've experienced in a videogame. Like a great novel or film, i have a feeling everytime i play this game, i'll find something new that reveals itself. __________________ Eagles may soar, but Penguins don't get sucked into Jet engines.

I just beat it, I chose to kill Matsuoka for whatever reason. How is the ending different if you spare him? I didn't have it in me to play through the last level a second time.
