Default Prime's Charles Battersby writes: "Most of the games in my Backlog are things I bought just because they were on sale, but I also have a bunch of artsy-smarsty games that I bought because I felt like I should play them. Some designers specialize in this sort of weird game, and they develop a cult following for anything they make. One such fellow is Goichi Suda, or Suda51. He is responsible for No More Heroes and the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw. But before those games, he created a Gamecube title called Killer 7. This has been sitting on my game shelf next to my Gamecube for years and, after wiping a thick layer of dust off my Wavebird, I tried to find out what the big deal is with this Suda51 guy. After a minute with the game I felt that everything about Killer 7 was designed to make people not want to play it."
The early 2000s was a crazy, weird time of defeating dystopias with karate, sending texts via Microsoft Excel, and ignoring your pets so you could look at jpegs of pets. As its adverts might have suggested, the PlayStation 2 was no stranger to getting a little bit freaky either.
..that article /list is only scratching on the surface of the weirdness on ps2. There are way more obscure games on that console.
I would go alone with SOME on this list but a few arent even exclusive.. in fact the PS2 version of GIANTS is an after-thought and considered bastardized compared to the PC version.
The free visual upgrade for the PC version of Killer7 appears to have added AI upscaled cutscenes and textures.
Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami wants Killer7 creator Suda 51 to work on a sequel to the 2005 action adventure game.
Most bizarre and atmospheric game there is!
really great game, but I started to realise how good it is, maybe after third time starting to play .. oh and nice that you mentioned Wavebird wireless controller, I think it's the best controller I've ever played and I still use it on my wii to play gamecube games
Awesome game.
