That's right, finally a game that is better than the excellent Metal Gear Solid has graced the shelves.

The name of the game is Headhunter the new Stealth 'em up/Shoot 'em up from Sega.
First off you can choose whether to blast your way through or you can sneak around snapping enemies necks, either way is just as difficult as the other. The VR missions on Headhunter are actually woth doing; for example completing one of the VR missions you get unlimited ammo for Jack's pistol. This sounds like it would make the game easier and boring but it just means intsead of continually searching for weapons ammo you can just concentrate on finding health and adrenaline. The levels are also huge, while the Psone couldn't handle large levels Headhunter has massive citywide landscapes.

I haven't played that much yet, but you guys are in for a treat when it comes out on the PS2!!!

Too much hype, not enough quality.

I've just this minute been playing the demo of Headhunter on the official PS2 mag - it *is* a good game, and one which I will be getting. But no way is it an MGS2 beater. MGS1 maybe, but not MGS2!

Headhunter is rubbish! Awful clipping, slowdown, crashes and one time these people who I had just killed came running round the corner (trust me a grenade at their feet usually does it). How can you say it's better than MGS2, especially when you haven't even played it! Get your facts straight before you start posting rubbish - even if you are a Regular.

Having played the demo of Headhunter a few times I was totally unimpressed. It tries to be MGS, using loads of elements from different games - but in a totally unstylish manner and with a difficult control system (compared to MGS). It's awful in my opinion.

I think Ive said before, Headhunter is a great game but it doesnt even come close to MGS!! It has its moments but most of those are blatant rip offs!! Its good to see it on PS2 but I would suggest you get MGS2 first!!

Headhunter is just a complete MGS rip off which doesn't look too special, i guess dreamcasters derserve something in the line of new releases :-D
