Dead Head Fred is a very good game with a lot to offer. It is a shame, though, that some will pick the game up and put it down due to the frustration of the first level and boss fight.
Great and funny game. I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but boy this game really holds up really well after so many years. This game should be remake.
If you fancy something a little different, punctuated by brilliant scripting and fantastic characters, look no further that this substantial chunk of action-comedy greatness.
A perfect example of a game whose strengths far outweigh its minuses. The great visual style, graphics and voice acting, along with the head switching mechanic certainly makes up for the less than stellar platforming and slightly repetitive combat.
This game was completely awesome, with fantastic voice acting, fun combat, beautiful graphics, and over 30 hours of gameplay time (for me at least) with tons of minigames and an awesome story. This game is so underrated, i only got it a while ago on psn (for my ps vita) for 4 dollars, and it was incredibly good for such a cheap price, it was unbelievable.
You owe it to yourself to buy this game.
It's not great, but it's a fun game. It's got an interesting idea, and it has some funny moments. It does take some getting use to, and sometimes can be a bit slow, but it's a fun little title for the PSP.
How do I explain this game...
Well to start out, this is a fun game, and you will get your moneys worth.
Now lets talk about the game its self. First of all the head switching aspect works well, and also adds different layers to this games fighting mechanic (different enemies are weaker to different heads). However the fighting mechanic is honestly nothing special, it mainly consists of attacking then just mashing the X button to win. The controls work well, The atmosphere is ugly, but its purposely ugly. The story is interesting, and will keep you going tell the end. The voice acting is very good, and all the voices were given to the perfect characters, The humor is good if you like dirty humor, The side games are alright, but they are just mainly distractions to give you more to do. Items are mainly just used to sell for money. Quests are nothing special (find this, kill that, go here).
In the end this game has flaws, but they are not big enough to be a real problem. If you can look past them, you will have a good time. If you have a psp, or a ps vita, I recommend this game.
The presentation oozes style and the gameplay mechanics are well realized and pretty unique. Beyond the core game itself however, the side missions and minigames feel half baked and drag down the fun too often. Most of the quests boil down to 'hey some guy stole my watch and he's hiding in an alley clear across town, can you go kill him and bring it back to me?' And there are tons of these pointless fetch and delivery quests. If you're going to play it I would suggest ignoring most sidequests unless you need the cash or items.
