Dynamite Headdy

"The Most Underrated Game Of All Time!"

Hi, this is my first review here at GameFAQs! And since most people review their favorite game of all time first, I'm reviewing Dynamite Headdy!

Graphics: 10/10- OK, you're probably saying to yourself, "This stuff doesn't look THAT great to me." Well let me tell you, this game look AWESOME in action. It looks as if your playing a Super Nintendo game on the Genesis. There's some nice 3D stuff in some parts of the game. And best of all, there is absolutely NO slowdown whatsoever!

Difficulty: 9/10-All right, I've played some hard games in my life but this HAS to be one of the hardest games ever made! But in a good way. What I mean is that this game will be in your genesis for a LONG time! It's one of those games that makes you want to try again, even if you've failed miserably. It's really hard to explain how freakin' hard this game is. But in all seriousness, although the game is EXTREMELY hard, that doesn't mean it's a bad game at all! Just look at Contra!

Control: 10/10- Perfect. Just perfect. Button Layout? Perfect. Response? Perfect. Everything else about the controls? You guessed right....Prefect.

Sound/Music: 10/10- I gotta tell you, Dynamite Headdy has to have my favorite soundtrack of all time! I loved it so much I downloaded the ROM just so I could record the songs and burn them to a CD. Also, the Sound Effects are really nice too.

Gameplay: 10/10- Dynamite Headdy has to be the most fun game I have ever played in my life! The game is so original, fun and erm...fun! It's something you wouldn't expect really. Believe me, you'll have a great time playing this. And if your anything like me, you'll be playing this for a long, long, time.

Overall Score: 10/10- Too bad my scores don't go to 11! No, wait! 12! Believe me, Dynamite Headdy is THE MOST underrated game of all time! Trust me, just play the game, and find out what sidescrolling action games are really supposed to be! If anyone who just happens to work for Treasure is looking at this, I'm begging you to re-release this on the GBA!

Bottom Line: Never overlook games you've never heard of, they could end up being the best game of all time.
