Dead Head Fred for PSP Reviews by Gamers

Welcome to the city of Hope Falls, where you take on the role of Fred Neuman, a recently killed private eye in a 50's era world. Fred's head was taken but a scientist manages to keep his brain and eyes thus giving him a dead head. With this new power Fred can take other heads and use them for powers in order to get around.

On the positive side the game does have a good soundtrack to go with it and the voice acting is done very well. Fred who is voiced by John C McGinley (Dr Cox on Scrubs) does deliver the lines with the dry dialouge made famous by Sam Spade, and the concept of usin the heads of your foes as weapons is a very good idea. I especially enjoyed watchin Fred die because they would give him a dyin word line such as "Thank God for check points."

As for the negative, well just about everything else. The combat system is clunky at best. Fred can block most attacks except for the super attacks that your foes use and will end up usin alot. You will die alot in this game because the controls are about as clunky as the combat. The boss' while in a normal game would be push overs get bumped up a few levels because of combat. This game also suffers from bad camera angel's.

All in all I would only recommend this game for the dialouge and that a good game does not make. Dead Head Fred gets a 2 out of 5.

Load times. Theres too many of them, enough to make the game last longer than it normaly is. I'm serious, theres enough loading to drive impatient people like me to hurl the PSP with the UMD in it out the window and to deter any future playthroughs with this game. Combat can be tedious and tiresome. The dialogue can be over-excessive with curse words and forced. You'll never upgrade all of the heads in this game except the jar head. The side missions are boring, repetitious and lackluster.
