Imagine a game like Shenmue, but with better graphics, and more importantly - GUNS!!!!!
Imagine a game like Metal Gear Solid, but with a masterful cinematic 150 piece orchestral sound track running through it.
Imagine a game like Resident Evil, but with flowing camera angles, third AND first person perspective views.
Imagine a game like Tomb Raider, but with a bounty hunter as your lead character, who's job it is to track down some bad guys who have killed your boss.
Imagine a game like Driver, but with a souped up Harley Davidson hog as your mode of transport.
Imagine a game with all of the above, but with online capabilities as well, so that you can race your hog against other players online through the city streets, and for winning you get to download new maps to your console, new weapons for your bounty hunter, new items to help you explore further into the city.
Drooling yet?
It's out at the end of this summer. From Amuze software. It's called Head Hunter.
And the funny thing is....
It's coming out on the DREAMCAST!!!!
Go buy a Dreamcast now if you haven't picked up a second hand one on the cheap, because this is the kind of game that gamers queue outside shops for at 4am in the morning.
This is the kind of game that should be hyped to the hilt, because you simply can't hype it enough. Whatever you say about it, the game WILL be better.
And finally, this is the kind of game that really pushes the Dreamcast to its VERY limits. People will be saying that this game was the one that stretched the power of 128-bit gaming to its fullest extent, in the way that 32-bit gaming finally met its match with Metal Gear Solid on the PSX.
It's about time it happened. And if they can do this on the Dreamcast, just think what they could do if they made a version for the PS2 or the Gamecube or the X-Box. The next gen consoles wouldn't be stretched too much considering their power, but Head Hunter will surely be one of the most sought after games by Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft early next year.

But everyone who sells their Dreamcast sells it to someone else, who will become an owner.
That’s all very well but will there be enough Dreamcast owners left? Dreamcast owners are selling their Casts now because the 2nd hand price will drop dramatically soon. I’m waiting for them to be around £10 with Crazy Taxi. :->
Yeah, I thought I saw it there.

Confirmed in the latest official PS2 mag, Head Hunter is one of three new titles announced for the PS2 by Sega. The other two are Virtua Fighter 4 and K-Project, in addition to previously announced DC classics Space Channel 5, Ecco the Dolphin, F355 Challenge and an RPG called Sakura Kaisen.
In addition (page 46 of the same mag), Sega and Sony have signed a deal which sees SCEE publishing Sega games in Europe for the foreseeable future.

Multiplayer is apparently a laugh though, but it is stupidly easy. There is a mode where you can fight ever character in the game including bosses and you don't get your life bar replenished. The fact that it is actually possible to do this shows there is definitely something wrong.
They say (the mags) that if youre a reasonably good gamer you can do it in 2 hours, then play it 2 more times with the other characters to finish the game completely.
Its a real shame, as it had so much promise. I'm still going to rent it for an evening though, but £40? no.

The Bouncer has got blistering graphics but it lasts a maximum of 6 hours. In other words, it is well s***.
I agree... from the PS2's pre-launch demos, it looked seriously impressive. but from all the reviews I've read, it's just a series of long, very high quality story-telling FMV sequences, linked by some fight/action scenes.
I'm staying well clear of it!

from what i have read it is OVERHYPED RUBBISH
