Wirehead is a Full Motion Video (FMV) game that was only released in North America.
+ Plot is so far-fetched and nonsensical that it keeps you invested in seeing what ridiculous shenanigans come up next.
- No logical reasoning to determine which direction you should press, leaving you to memorise every single button command.
- After a failed attempt, the game can throw you back into the middle of the action with a button prompt staring you in the face.
- Neither the game or the manual explain the protagonists' 'accident', even though it's a crucial part of the story arch.
- Acting by your main character is abysmal and he shows very little emotion despite finding out his family has been kidnapped!
- No pay-off to most of the story, as the player has zero input during the rescue scene, nor the arresting of the antagonists.
