Comparisons With Other Games
Many reviewers of Headhunter stated that much of the game draws obvious influences from other games, most notably Metal Gear Solid; major similarities include the emphasis on stealth-based gameplay (such as the ability to snap enemies necks from behind and to press the character's back against a wall and look around corners), Jack's favoured method of communication being through a Casio wristwatch videophone, presented similarly to the Codec sequences of the MGS games, and the LEILA test sequences being similar to the MGS VR Missions. Puzzles in the game, as well as the final boss battle and a mansion area near the end of the game, also drew some comparisons to the Resident Evil series. Another notable aspect is the character Grey Wolf, who shares some plot similarities with the character Greyfox of Metal Gear. Also Jack Wade is the name of a character from the movie GoldenEye.

Famous quotes containing the words comparisons with, comparisons and/or games:
“I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.”
—Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)

“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
