What can I say, I personally have such a strong love for Headhunter that its memory will stay in my heart forever.
The story was extremely well written, well planned and executed. I absolutely love dystopian films and video games (I wouldn't want to live it though) and Headhunter takes us on a journey in this environment.
You play as Jack Wade, a former bounty hunter who has woken up from a coma in a hospital room with amnesia. He gets a visit from his old boss Chief Hawke explaining to him that Jack has now been fired from his position at the ACN. He also gets a visit from the daughter of the CEO of the ACN, Angela Stern telling Jack that her father has been murdered, and that she wants to hire him to help find her fathers killer. Playing both as Jack and Angela, we get to zoom around fictional LA on Jacks motor cycle, completing missions set in biker hangouts, shopping malls, biotech labs and more. With the help of Chief Wade, Jack gets his Headhunter license again. He does so by having access to the L. E. I. L. A office, an integrative law enforcement virtual reality testing facility that will help Jack upgrade his license and proceed with his agenda. It also helps Jack with access to weapon upgrades, storage, gives us our mission objectives as well as information on criminals, weapons, case reports etc. Before each mission, you have to upgrade said license by taking the virtual reality tests. There are four tests in total that you have to pass before each of the four missions, and there are 16 in total. But before you can access the L. E. I. L. A offices, you have to reach a certain amount of skill points by riding your bike around town perfectly at high speeds without crashing.
The gorgeous graphics for Headhunter were unreal for 2001, as well as today imo. The game is visually appealing and the city of fictional Los Angeles were designed so beautifully that I absolutely love the world that Amuze Games created. The character design was done as well as it could have at the time, and I could only imagine what they could create today with our technological advancements. I would love a remastered edition.
The voice actors did an amazing job, all of the actors voices suited their characters. I cannot choose who my favorite was, they were all perfect. I loved how they included FMV's of real life actors to play news reporters Bill Waverley and Kate Gloss in which they give us the current news as the game proceeds.
And last but not least, that incredible soundtrack. Composed by Richard Jacques and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Abbey Road Studios, the unforgettable music really gets you hyped up and excited to play.
Headhunter is such a wonderful game, but just a little too short in gameplay, I would say it is playable for 10 hours max. I would have loved at least an extra 5-10 hours of gameplay. Other than that, it is truly a masterpiece for me. I want to thank the developers at AMUZE for making such an exciting and outstanding game for me to play! Well done.

Amazing game. I don't know about the DS version of this game, I mean I have seen screenshots of the DS' Urbz Sims in the city, and it looked like a complete joke, maybe it caters to kids between 5 and 10yrs.
If you are going to buy this game, get the ps2 version.
I loved this game much better than any other Sim game, Busting out is definitely my second favorite. When EA released the Sims 2 after the Urbz, I definitely thought they went five steps backwards, in terms of music, fashion, interior design, cosmetics and hair styles.
The Urbz really caters for the gamers who are from a cosmopolitan city, and who enjoy fashion and understand culture. It makes you feel as though you are in fashionable New York, meeting people, working to buy a nicer apartment, furniture, and of course stylish clothes. The Sims 2 fashion is like those people who live in Kansas, Kentucky or the South. No offence to anyone, but the games designs go backwards, not forwards. I hope The Sims 3 is much better.
Anyways, I really loved and enjoyed playing this game, I have played it over fifteen times, just for the experience, and for designing my apartments. Although, I must say I do wish we had more apartments to design, as you only get 3. I also really pray for a bigger sequel to the Urbz, that would be the BEST EVER!!

I am a huge fan of B-grade movies, my hubby doesn't understand. Anyways my favorite part in the movie, and my sister and I watched it over 30 times. the scene is where the main characters are in the basement together, and Derrick keeps on complaining and said what a pile of horse sh*t it was that they couldn't leave the room cause it was too dangerous. Dave snaps back at Derrick and says " Would you mind keeping your language around, down around my child"? and Derrick mimmics him. I thought that has the funniest scene, EVER!!! You have never seen a mistake like that in any movie, it was priceless!!!!!!! I really thought the movie was hilarious, especially Derricks character, and he got on everyones nerves, but they still welcomed him back every time.
