Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This bounty-hunting game features 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 or his alluring accomplice Angela Stern. Rip through the streets at speeds of more than 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, and missile launchers. 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 greater than one full hour of painstakingly rendered real-time full-motion videos. The soundtrack was composed by Richard Jacques and is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Product Description

Crime is out of control. Bounty hunters rule the streets. Human organs have replaced money as currency. Welcome to the future of America and meet Jack Wade, Headhunter. After awakening from a coma in a sterile hospital room, Jack realizes that his memories, identity and mind have all been stolen.

This game is really great in a lot of areas. The controls and game style are a lot like Metal Gear Solid 2 (as you can probably tell from numerous other reviewers), so if you go from that game to this one (as I did) you'll be catching on rather quickly. The only thing that really stinks about this game is the saving system. You can save at any point during a level, but if you get killed you're starting all over again on that level. In other words, if you have 8 objectives on a level (find this, move that, etc) and get 7 of them done but get killed, then you start all over again. This makes the game unnecessarily repetitious and takes away from the overall fun of the game rather quickly. Likewise, if you begin a new level, you have to figure out if you have time to completely finish it or not. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to start a mission you'll just have to start all over again if you don't get through at that moment. You'll find yourself putting this game away quickly when you reach a snag and picking up some other game for a while until the "sameness" wears off. On the plus side though, the storyline and cut scenes are great, and it's really a fun game overall. When they come out with Headhunter 2, they need to borrow the save system from MGS2 so you can pick up right where you leave off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bounty Hunting = FUN, June 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Head Hunter (Video Game)

You play as Jack Wade, a bounty hunter hired by a pretty cool chic to hunt down her fathers murderer who is the leader of a huge group and biker gang. Gameplay is overall solid kind of like Metal Gear Solid and Winback in comparison. There are flaws in the game mostly some annoying self adjusting camera problems and driving your motorcycle isnt so smooth. Otherwise this is a great game that deserves a chance. Most of you will like it a lot if you dig action games even slightly. Good storyline too. I highly recommend this game. Give it a shot

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY UNDERRATED!, April 29, 2003

I actually liked this game! I considered this game one of the most underrated games ever. The physics and action play is quite good and the abundance of play is worth the buy. If you like to do a little fighting with a little puzzlin' to solve than this is a good game you might have not heard of. I like how you can ride a motorcycle around the town from place to place but you can't do it at will which really stinks but hopefully they will allow that in the sequel! Well, there is alot of things I like about this game but to put it in short, very good graphics, very good play, very good story = VERY GOOD GAME
