Editorial Review:
Dead Head Fred is a unique 3rd person-action game created exclusively for the PSP. An original 1940's inspired alternative universe is blended with a slice of old time Americana, producing a morally bankrupt town ruled by violent organized crime and populated with mutants spawned from toxic waste. You are private detective Fred Neuman, savagely murdered and then resurrected in a bizarre scientific experiment without your memory or your head. Embark on a quest for vengeance as you solve your own murder by using the severed heads of enemies to battle your way through environments designed to showcase each head's unique abilities. Dead Head Fred immerses you into the action with the most revolutionary camera to date on a handheld device as you collect, upgrade and switch the heads of enemies on the fly to strategically fight malformed mutants, ghoulish gangsters, and maniacal mob bosses. Upgradeable Powers - Embark on epic missions that increase your powers and attacks by acquiring new heads Expansive Environments - HUB system to fly, gas, smash, battle and more through the expansive, danger-ridden town of Hope Falls, Creepy Hallow, Pitt's Power Plant and Freak Farms in any order and return to find new and hidden enemies Bonus Side Missions, Mini-Games, And Activities - Consensual Sax, The Gran Ratismo, Dirty Pool, Head 2 Head Pinball, and The Feather Doom

Rating:  - The best game nobody bought...ever.
I bought this game looking for an original game that was exclusively for the psp. I picked this one up very shortly after it was released, being very impressed with the videos I saw of it. Unbelievable.
This game captivated me immediately with it's brilliant script and, in my opinion, amazing looking graphics and sound. Art direction is inspired, looking almost like a "Mark Ryden" style. The gameplay, while some say repetitive, I loved the most. Controls are very responsive and has plenty ... Read More
Rating: - Love that Fred!
I've played lots of games on the psp--including God of War, Crash of the Titans, and Daxter--but Dead Head Fred is still my favorite!
There are mini games galore, a great story line, loads of places to go items to find and creepies to kill.
This is great adventure game, and it takes awhile to finish. If you get stuck there are some wonderful walkthroughs online. It's a game I like to replay; and since I usually sell them after I finish playing them once, That's saying a lot! ... Read More
Rating: - This game made me laugh
I have to say that "Dead Head Fred" is one of the funnest and funniest games I have played in a while. The story is solid and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Fred's voice acting is done by John McGinley ( Dr. Cox from Scrubs ),
and they make use of his ability to be sarcastic and his delivery of
swearing seems very natural ( there is a fair amount, but to good
effect ). At points the humor is a bit sophomoric, but still funny.
The controls and graphics are ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting
This certainly gets the most original game idea for me this year. The game could have gotten complicated with all of the head switching to activate different powers that you need for different tasks if not for the in game tutorial you are given along the way. I did have some problem with navigation and was slightly confused in some dark areas, but overall the game is fun. The humor is dark and quirky which works well with this game. This is certainly a winner for the psp.
Rating: - Dead Head Fred......'Don't lose yer head.....'...;)
You know, we need more games like this on the Playstation Portable. Games with more creativity. Too often, we see the same ol' run of your average game that's okay to play on the PSP but nothing never turly entertaining. In Dead Head Fred, you play as Detective Fred Neuman who starts his adventure after getting himself killed by a local mob boss. Brought back to life by Dr. Steiner, Fred finds himself missing his memory and his head. As Dead Head Fred, it's up to you to uncover the mystery behind his death, ... Read More
