Does HeadHunter Get any easier?

I had a crack at HeadHunter after not playing it for about 3 months last night..

I was on the level where you have to use these little Spider robots to kill this guy, after 2 hours I worked out what I was doing but grrrr, its hard?

Does it get any easier after this

I never knew I sucked so much!

Heh...not the easiest game ever written; it takes some getting used to. (Some people try to approach it like MGS, but end up having trouble because it's far more action-oriented than that title). And yes, the spider robots took me quite some time to figure out as well...the first time I took control of one, I was thinking *OH!!!* So THIS is how it works! (I'd just been shooting them and dodging explosions, waiting for the boss to move into some presumed "other phase" of his attack where he would be more vulnerable).

Headhunter is still a great game, though. I'd have to put it somewhere on my list of top ten DC games (despite the fact that it didn't even come out in my country...sometimes eBay is a necessary evil).

For hours I was pointing them at the WRONG door! I mean it did say "safety door" and that was the door you enter the room as!

Still love the game, I plan on completeing it as the Sequal will be out on Xbox soon

Hahaha.. I had trouble figuring out what to do on that bit also... I got so frustrated by it.

Same prob for me. But after that it seemed pretty easy.

Dont you learn some interesting facts about him after you defeat him?

(not to spoil for those that haven't played it) or maybe that was earlier on...

This is actually the easiest boss on the whole game, i'm at work now so i don't exactly remember the layout of the room, but i made a small diagram showing the way to easily kill him

yeh I did it as soon as I got home! you were too late man! where were you a month ago!

The problem was, when the title says "safety door" I assumed the "safety door" that I walked into the room was what it meant, but it was the one he was behind!

So I spent ages sending the spiders in the wrong direction

Sorry guys but that boss only took me about...20 minutes... I found the 2nd fight with him a lot harder(That is without wasting your rocket launcher, of course).. I think this is easily the best dc game, though, I wish there were more like this...

It's funny tho. He said he was at work and went to the trouble of making that map. He is either very good with the app he used to make it, or is a slacker! Get back to work!

Anyway, after a while I got it, and have progressed to the next level of the LEILA system (now an A rating)

Its all about dis-arming bombs now, around the city, wich means driving the motorbike

undoubtably the worst part of the game as its so uncontrolable at high speeds..

Anyway, at least my DC is seeing some action again

may load up RE:CV after this is done with....

This game is my favorite for the DC. I've beaten it several times. In my opinion, this is one of the more difficult bosses. He's easy once you get the hang of the spiders tho. Now, I can get past him quick, but the 1st time I played, it took me several tries.
The end boss took quite a few tries to beat my 1st time through. There's a certain pattern you can follow to make it easier tho. The last couple times I beat the game, I got him on my 1st try with plenty of energy left.

Good luck with the game. In my opinion, the graphics just get better and better as you go.

I just got lost in a building at some point and haven't played it since. Waaaaay too mazelike for me.
