Sony’s PlayStation Portable, more commonly known as the PSP, was a rather fun handheld video game console and the first handheld console Sony offered. It proved to be worth having because of its surprising power for a handheld console at the time, as well as its underrated library of fantastic titles, including Daxter, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Patapon, Secret Agent Clank, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and many more. There is one gem of a game, though, that no one seems to talk about when discussing the shockingly impressive lineup of PSP titles, and that’s Dead Head Fred.

Dead Head Fred, which is rather enjoyable to say, is a third-person action-adventure game that was released exclusively for the PSP in 2007. It focuses on a unique noir style with some light horror elements as it tells the story of Fred Neuman, a private investigator set on taking down a diabolical crime boss. Fred was murdered by the mob boss and decapitated, but had his head replaced and was revived. Throughout the game, he has to piece his memory back together while winning back his love interest and gradually take down those who work for his enemy, including a necromancer.

The game incorporates a variety of gameplay styles, including combat, puzzles, and platforming, but the core mechanic that it all centers around is the ability to switch which head Fred has on. Throughout the game, the player defeats enemies, decapitates them, and collects their heads that grant Fred a variety of abilities. For instance, the Stone Idol head allows Fred to use it as a battering ram, the Scarecrow head allows Fred to shoot crows at enemies, and the Corpse head gives him the ability to suck up water and gasoline. Each new head and ability helps in different aspects of the game, whether it be during combat, solving puzzles, or opening up new areas for story progression.

The premise is quirky and twisted, like if Tim Burton directed a noir detective movie. The artstyle matches that by managing to be a perfect blend of grounded, dark, and zany.

It also played incredibly well. It was a super fun handheld gaming experience that felt satisfying to take out foes and solve puzzles. The story was entertaining throughout the entire game. Even the voice acting was rather impressive.

The game flew under the radar because it wasn’t a part of Sony’s big, well-known franchises and wasn’t advertised as much as more famous video games at the time. Plus, it being exclusive to Sony’s handheld system meant the potential player base for the game was somewhat limited. That being said, it was truly excellent, and those who have played it typically have nothing but high praise for it.

Dead Head Fred deserves to be remembered. It’s a shame that it kept to its small, cult audience, as it’s great enough to be known as one of the best games in an entire console’s library. It would be really cool if it ever got some sort of rerelease eventually, whether it be dropping it on PlayStation Plus or remastering it for modern consoles. It’s doubtful where it wasn’t super well known, but us fans can certainly dream.
