Dynamite Headdy Review

This is the best game that you could buy on the Virtual Console. It is better than super Mario bros. The gameplay is perfect. The game is quite difficult in about the 7th level, and if you have game over you start back at the title, but you can put in a code to skip levels, and if you don't want to cheat, it's very fun to keep coming back and trying again, over and over...

The story is this: Headdy, a toy with a detachable head travels to north town to visit his friends, Headcase, Bowe, and Hangman, but when he arrives he is captured and he discovers that dark demon is capturing all of the puppets/toys in town. He escapes and starts heading to dark demon's castle to save everyone. The graphics are awesome. Everything looks like it's a puppet show. every once in a while you might see a small tear in the background, or a flying enemy might be hanging from a cord, ect. In the gameplay, you control headdy. He throws his head to attack. He can obtain new heads with new powers.

I recently bought this game for 8 bucks from the Wii shop channel. I didn't think the game looked good from Gamespot's screen shots, but once I started playing the game I realized how wrong I was. The game's visuals are extraordinarily weird, but in a very good way. You'll be dodging dismembered feet while topless body builders work out in the background. next thing you'll be climbing a building fighting an evil flying cat head. Often times while traversing these enemies I was reminded of the anything goes spirit of Wario Ware. And while the game play is very original its constant change of pace and content and carefully planned level design reminded me a little of Mario World. This is one of those old-school games where you have to start from the beginning if you loose your three lives. This game was created during a time when gamers were so hard core that they had no life's and would repeat the game over and over and over again just to see what the next level looked like. The games fun but not fun enough to have to restart and play through every level over again multiple times. If you want to get the most fun out of this game, just use the level select cheat code once you beat a level so you don't have to play it over again Here's how: (With a game cube remote), At the main screen press start once, then press x, b, left, right, a. then press start again and you'll reach the level select menu. This will save you hours and hours. Please don't be a hardcore gamer. Use this feature!
