WireHead for Sega CD
Review #12136
WireHead
Inspector Gadget as a "dumb dad" 90s sitcom
Gameplay
The definition of an interactive movie. You watch a movie and every two or three seconds you're presented with the choice of three directions - up, left and right. Only one choice is correct and will advance the movie while the others result in a game over. So, memorize or use a guide to watch the full movie. There's not else here. Why would someone want to do this?
Level Design
There's nothing resembling gameplay or level design. It's a straight up movie with a button press to continue watching it. Still, this is technically better than most of these FMV titles since there's no way to miss these interactive moments, so I feel obligated to give it a 1.
Theme
You are the remote controller of a man/drone cyborg who looks and acts like a dorky suburban dad. Basically, Inspector Gadget as a 90s sitcom.
The movie begins with the cyborg Dad answering the door to receive a package from an unassuming delivery woman. Wirehead's awful children use a controller to cause their dad to act like a complete baffoon before Mom shows up to slightly scold the kids. Dad regains control and embarrassingly accepts the package from the dumbfounded woman. Her look of disbelief at the absurdity of the situation before her matches my own. This is as stupid a concept as I've ever come across.
Art Style
Excellent video quality...for the Sega CD.
Audio
Good sound as well.
