Headhunter 2001

Is it still worth playing?

Jack Wade polices a future city similar to Los Angeles for the Anti Crime Network, in this 2001 action adventure from Amuze for the Dreamcast. For most of the game it is a cover based third person shooter, and Jack rides a motorcycle between levels in sections that play like a racing game, controlled with the analog triggers of the pad. Criminals in this future have their organs surgically removed and transplanted to benefit wealthier people, so conventional firearms are banned. The Headhunters, bounty hunter like agents, use Electric Neural Projectile guns that fire bullets which do not damage flesh but emit an electrical charge that causes severe pain and paralyzes muscles. Jack can ride a motorcycle at over 200 miles per hour, and weapons include mines, machine guns and missile launchers. Guns that hurt without killing still make each arrest a tense decision.
