    This game was completely awesome, with fantastic voice acting, fun combat, beautiful graphics, and over 30 hours of gameplay time (for me at least) with tons of minigames and an awesome story. This game is so underrated, i only got it a while ago on psn (for my ps vita) for 4 dollars, and it was incredibly good for such a cheap price, it was unbelievable.

    Great and funny game. I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but boy this game really holds up really well after so many years. This game should be remake.

    It's games like this that will put the PSP back in the spotlight. The play control is tight. The story and the dialog is wacky cool. It has that lil' old school classic movie monster picture feel with a modern touch. The amount of attacks and weapons is amazing. Definitely a fun and original game! Sony definitely needs to cater to Vicious Cycle (Developer) and D3 (Publisher) and It's games like this that will put the PSP back in the spotlight. The play control is tight.

Sony definitely needs to cater to Vicious Cycle (Developer) and D3 (Publisher) and make them happy so that they can keep making great games such as this and push the PSP's capabilities. In order for the PSP too succeed, they need more great original games such as this...and this is the first step. Great game and awesome game engine Vicious Cycle! Buy this game now people, you won't regret it.… Expand

    Finally something worth playing on the PSP. I picked this up yesterday and it's probably one of the funniest games I've ever played. Dr. Cox rocks!

    So this is what a PSP game can be when it's not trying to be a PS2 game. Hats off to the guys who made this; I can see why they took so long to make it. The games looks amazing, even better in some ways than Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (which is really saying something) and has all new (not to mention fun) gameplay mechanics and hilarious dialogue. Like, really hilarious. Laugh So this is what a PSP game can be when it's not trying to be a PS2 game. Hats off to the guys who made this; I can see why they took so long to make it.

Like, really hilarious. Laugh out loud type stuff. Most of all, the game is a bargain, selling new for roughly 30 dollars-- do yourself a favour and at least rent the game. Chances are you'll be won over if not by the charm than the great story and gameplay.… Expand

    Шикарная игра с уникальным геймплеем. Это кладезь сортирного и черного юмора. DHF скрытый бриллиант среди игр. Сейчас мало таких смелых проектов.

    The game engine is silky smooth and, for the PSP, quite detailed and amazing. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-looking game on the PSP. Combat is neither easy nor shallow, and you’ll soon find that with multiple heads in your inventory, Fred can pull off a wide variety of moves.

    Beating up enemies and stealing their heads works, but is rarely compelling. Navigating bite-sized environments is easy to do, but almost never offers a sense of exploration or accomplishment.

    One of the most entertaining games to hit the PSP this year.
