Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One of Sega's last games for their ill-fated Dreamcast console has now been ported over to the PS2: the sleek, action-packed and highly addictive Headhunter is, in short, a game not to be missed. Set in the future, where crime is fought by paid mercenaries, you play one such Headunter--in this case suffering from a memory lapse. The key to the game is exploration, puzzle solving and all-out action, the aim being to regain your memory and solve a murder case while you're at it. Easy, huh?

You undertake these tasks on road and on foot. On road, you need to ride your bike to the various locations across the map, and on foot you have to get to grips with sneaking around, uncovering clues and taking out bad guys. The slightly clumsy controls don't help, as every now and then you'll find yourself unable to do exactly what you want, when you need to. It's a shame, because it's one of the very few flaws this otherwise-superb game has. For in the plus column are the excellent story line, the tense, compulsive gameplay, the well constructed game world and the continuous pacing of the action. A genuine treat--enjoy it.--Simon Brew

Product Description
Bounty-hunting game Headhunterfeatures cutting-edge stealth action: you will slither against walls, peek around corners and snap your enemies' necks from behind in total anonymity. You can play as both ruthless Headhunter Jack Wade and his alluring accomplice, Angela Stern. Rip through the streets at speeds of over 200 mph on an ultra-bad bounty hunting motorcycle, and pass license tests to unlock new features throughout the game. As you play in either third or first person perspective, you will have access to a fully stocked arsenal, including proximity mines, machine guns, missile launchers, and more. The detailed environments range from seedy biker hangouts to chaotic gas-filled shopping malls and futuristic laboratories. The mixture of storytelling and action is accomplished through the over one full hour of painstakingly rendered real-time FMV. The soundtrack was composed by Richard Jaques, and is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

4.0 out of 5 stars Going for Solid Snake?, 17 Jan 2002
The graphics of this game look good and the game plays excellently with detailed surroundings and enemy AI is well tuned. The controls are a bit tricky and take quite a lot of getting used to but once you get familiarised with this game you will have a lot of fun with it. A reasonable sized armoury and well thought out levels. I recommend this game to people who are into games such as Metal Gear Solid or just Shoot em up Games.

4.0 out of 5 stars You're In For A Pleasant Surprise with Headhunter!!!, 29 Jun 2002
After reading several reviews of Headhunter on the amazon site (most of which slammed the game) I decided to take the risk, go out and buy the game and I'm glad I did. If you buy this game you will not be disappointed.

Graphics are excellent (although parts of the game where you are riding the motorbike are tedious and sub-standard), gameplay is good. Plenty of weapons. Good cut-scenes make the game interesting. Overall - if you enjoyed MGS2 and fancy a similar challenge then this is the game for you. Don't be put off by the other reviews that slag the game. It is well worth trying - 4/5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sega's masterpiece for the Dreamcast gets a PS2 makeover., 19 Dec 2004
By C. O'Connor "chrisuk5" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When Headhunter was released on the dreamcast, it came just a little too late. It was one of the last major releases the console saw, and although it was a fantastic game, it never brought the sales that SEGA hoped. As a result, little over a year later (after production of the Dreamcast had been cut) the PS2 saw Segas final masterpiece for the Dreamcast released on the PS2. Is it good-well read on.

Headhunter opens with you, Jack Wade. You wake up in some funny lab and manage to escape and wind up in hospital. It turns out that poor old Jack has a touch of amnesia. He used to be a headhunter-the best. Someone responsible for bringing to justice various criminals. Now, some young lady comes to visit you, wanting you to investigate her fathers death, and also, she knows a little of what happened to you, thus your thrown into the game.

The gameplay is fantastic. There are three main elements to it. Firstly, you drive from location to location on your motorbike. Now this could have gone horribly wrong, and although it is difficult to control to start with, once you have the hang of it, its great fun. Secondly, the steaklth element. You wont always play as Jack, so when your unarmed and weak, you need to be careful. Finally, there are the all out shootings and boss fights. This ALWAYS makes you think. You cant just run in, guns blazing, you need to plan your attack. Plus there are many different weapons and gadgets to unlock.

The graphics are fantastic. Its hard to believe it was a dreamcast game! The locations are varied and all look incredibly detailed. Especially the supermarket level at the start of the game. The city you get to drive around is crisp-only annoying thing is, theres always somewhere you just cant go, and this is shown by the imfamous, invisible barrier! However, the FMV (cutscenes) are incredible. Always funny and punchy and action packed-WELL DONE SEGA!

So what about the sound. Mediocre, and fairly aggrivating voice overs from Jack at bad moments will have you reaching for MUTE. However, it still desearves its 4/5, even now, nearly 3 years since release. This is a great game to get into if you have about 8 hours spare and you like a good story with great gameplay. Get this game
