Wirehead

WireHead is the latest Sega CD game. It has a very unusual premise behind it. There is a guy called WireHead whose actions can be controlled by remote control. When the government goes after him, you must save him from an early demise. Choose where he goes, but choose wisely. One wrong move and WireHead dies.

The video is full screen, and it doesn't look too pixilized when it's in motion. The ideas are pretty cool, although the acting is laughable. Sega continues its lineup of full-motion videos with this CD. If FMV's your thing, this one is hot.

Hard to believe, but there's another game that rivals the awful 3DO mess Plumbers Don't Wear Ties as the worst game of the year. It's called Wirehead, and it's another full-motion video flop. Clutch at your stomach as you watch the painful antics of a world-class nerd as he stumbles from one poorly choreographed scene to the next. When will this FMV game trend cease to haunt us? Sega's own Batman & Robin (see above) is a lot closer to the ideal use of the Sega CD's abilities.
