5.0 out of 5 stars The best game nobody bought...ever., June 26, 2008

By	Luis Zavala (Oxnard, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this game looking for an original game that was exclusively for the psp. I picked this one up very shortly after it was released, being very impressed with the videos I saw of it. Unbelievable.

This game captivated me immediately with it's brilliant script and, in my opinion, amazing looking graphics and sound. Art direction is inspired, looking almost like a "Mark Ryden" style. The gameplay, while some say repetitive, I loved the most. Controls are very responsive and has plenty of variety with its head-changing abilities. Great animation, varying on which head you use. It also has some of the best voice acting I've heard in a game, even though the story isn't meant to be very serious. Also, this is a BIG game. It's amazing how much there is to do, and how many secrets there are in the game. Truly expansive.

The only slightly annoying thing I found were the very frequent load times, and load in for some of the dialogue animations (sometimes they speak after they're lips already stop moving). That's the only problem I really saw.

Great game for all psp owners, and very tragic that it's so overlooked. Here's to hoping for a sequel in the future, but I'm not holding my breath for it. For this price, it's a steal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love that Fred!, June 7, 2008

By	Maryann Tatro "recorder lady" (Western MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I've played lots of games on the psp--including God of War, Crash of the Titans, and Daxter--but Dead Head Fred is still my favorite!

There are mini games galore, a great story line, loads of places to go items to find and creepies to kill.

This is great adventure game, and it takes awhile to finish. If you get stuck there are some wonderful walkthroughs online. It's a game I like to replay; and since I usually sell them after I finish playing them once, That's saying a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, September 13, 2007

By	Gabriel Jimenez Rodriguez "Gabe" (Dracula's Castle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

One of the best PsP games yet. An original storyline, gameplay mechanic and graphic engine, are some of best qualities of this game.
As Fred, you need to rip the heads of your enemys after beating the crap out of them, also collect different kinds of head that grant you abilities like flying, breathing underwater, storing water, and so on.
The game runs smooth with no slow frame rates, the music flows fine and helps a lot to catch the game's feeling.
It also gives you the feeling of being inside of a Tim Burton's movie, the scenaries are creepy and dark, and so is the humor.
Superb voice acting, you can really feel and trust what the characters are trying to express when they talk.
A must-have for PsP users... supporting this kind of masterpiece allows developers to put their imagination at work and bring great titles like this one to the PsP.
