> I'd be lying if I said there were no graphical flaws in this game. The frame rate dropped for a few moments in a few select areas, which were usually open spaces full of enemies, or when in the presence of a few massive explosions. For a last generation Dreamcast title there really shouldn't be any slowdown at all. As rare as it is, when slowdown did rear its ugly head it was only a minor annoyance in some places but major enough in others to affect the gameplay momentarily. There also seem to be a number of bugs Amuze didn't iron out in time for the game's initial release. I found myself stuck behind a door once, and my copy has crashed a few times. I wish the developers would've taken the time to purge the game of these flaws and ensure a stable frame rate throughout the course of the game. I can't help but feel that Headhunter was rushed out for its November 2001 release, which in my opinion, was inexcusable. 

     > A third person perspective like the one used in Headhunter is a double edged sword. On one hand, everything is in your sight until you turn around at which point the camera doesn't always follow you. On the other hand, the camera can be repositioned behind you at any time with the tap of a button. Although the game environments are 3D, some areas use fixed overhead angles as opposed to the traditional third person view, but even in them, you can position the camera behind you at any time by aiming your gun, which really helps immerse you in those environments.

     > Jack Wade has many moves at his disposal and can acquire more powerful weapons when upgrading his Law Enforcement Intelligence and License Approval (L.E.I.L.A.) bounty hunter license by navigating his way through virtual reality simulations and fighting against wire-frame enemies (people without textures put on them who glow green when non-hostile and red when hostile). Anyone familiar with Metal Gear Solid will feel right at home in these VR missions. Upgrading his license also means Jack gains access to new information and unfettered access to otherwise restricted parts of the city. Jack can roll, duck, hug walls (with his back) to peer around corners, dart out of, unload his weapon and dart back behind the safety of a corner again while hugging it, snap people's necks by sneaking up behind them, switch between targets while aiming (some targets include explosive barrels conveniently placed in the path of enemies), and even move while aiming and firing (unlike Resident Evil). Last but not least, Jack can throw decoy shell casings to draw a guard away from their patrol route (to investigate the noise), too, which is a more useful tactic than you may initially realize. A handy radar tracks the patrol routes and the positions of your enemies as well as the direction they are facing. Rushing in with guns blazing isn't always the best plan of action because it invariably draws unwanted attention to yourself. You can suddenly find yourself overwhelmed by an army of guards wielding automatic weapons if you can't control an itchy trigger finger. Health packs and other combat enhancing medication like adrenaline to reduce damage (an adrenalized person feels less pain) are spread throughout the game to gear you up for a messy confrontation, and can be stored in limited quantities for a rainy day.

     > The bike isn't the easiest of vehicles to control at first. It's quite cumbersome to steer in fact especially at high speeds. I find it best to take my finger off of the accelerator button before turning, but getting to grips with the bike at full speed is not impossible. Sometimes it is necessary to ride your bike at top speeds without stopping in order to earn skill points before being allowed to proceed to your next destination. This can prove to be quite challenging with so many cars on the roads.

     > You might find this surprising, but the voice acting is very good. The voice actors speak their parts convincingly and inject plenty of genuine emotion into their lines. The sound effects are also of the highest quality, especially the gunshot noises, which sound as realistic as possible.

     > The differences between the Dreamcast version of Headhunter and the Playstation 2 version are negligible, at best. The frame rate was smoothened out for the PS2 conversion, but the game's textures are rougher around the edges, not to mention seem washed-out in some places, and the real time shadows have been removed from the game for no apparent reason. If you happen to own both consoles, buy whichever version is cheapest.
