HEADHUNTER
You awake. Around you are a bunch of chem-suited lab workers. You break free and shoot your way out, collapsing in an alley. You awake in the hospital and find out that you are a
Headhunter - a well paid & skilled bounty hunter. A lovely lass hires you to find out who killed her top level security service dad - at the same time finding your self again. It is a time of turmoil, as the (hammed up) newscasts flash on the TV screens - kinda like those in RoboCop. After a visit to the blondes mansion, you take her high-speed bike into the city - here you need to get into the LEILA facility (a Virtual Reality training centre where you have to obtain your Headhunter licenses before resuming legal operation of your craft). But, before you can do that you need to rack up some skill points. This game involves a marvelous range of gameplay, from racing, shooting & fighting to problem solving. With macho bravado you take on everyone and everything, capable of saving at any point you wish. Flash, exciting, action-packed and with a very dark sense of humour, Headhunter is a blast that'll keep you busy for a good while.
