Unfortunately for you, Ubisoft never licensed it for the US and the video was replaced with the NMH trailer. The only time you can hear the song is when you go to see Dr. Naomi.
The last part isn't entirely accurate...the song also plays in the boutique Area 51 and Beef Head Video...in fact I ended up liking the song so much after hearing it over and over again in NMH that I looked up the video our version of the game didn't get to have and became completely addicted to it, haha =) and for some strange reason I want to go clothes shopping everytime I hear it now
I would have liked to be able to watch the video on Travis' TV, but I did enjoy seeing the trailer since I'd never watched it before. It would have been awesome to be able to actually watch the wrestling videos, though, rather than just suddenly LEARNING A NEW WRESTLING MOVE. On that note, why do so few reviews/discussions of the game fail to mention the wrestling? I loved that aspect of the game and I thought it was implemented very well, especially in the context of giving Travis some measure of backstory without having to do more than refer to it throughout the game (as opposed to having it be a cutscene, etc)
I had heard the game was originally forecast for the 360, but I'm really glad it ended up becoming a Wii franchise instead...and not simply because I'm anti-Microsoft and still have yet to get a 360. Again, the wrestling moves were a hell of a lot of fun for me and they would be reduced to button mashing on any other console with any other set of controls. I did also enjoy "talking" to Sylvia on the Wiimote, I just didn't realize she was talking out of it until the second boss fight because I had the wiimote volume turned down too far to hear it, haha.
We all must also remember that Travis Touchdown is such a badass that he is capable of wearing a pink anime jacket and white pants with embroidered pink hearts and making it look *even more badass*. Not an easy feat. XD
Yahtzee's conclusion from the link I posted above ("For all its faults, *get it anyway,* because chances are you will never play anything like it") is the best summary of the game that can be offered. For me, that's a disappointing statement, because goddamn do I want more. So here's the big question: Now that we're a generation beyond it, is Killer 7 worth the time?
