I played the fan-translated Japanese version of this game. It is vastly superior to what we got in the west. The story segments have been kept in rather than omitted entirely, and the difficulty level hasn't been adjusted in order to make things crushingly hard for the player. It's definitely the way to go.
A very imaginative platformer. Bursting at the seams with ideas and various little details that give it the essence of a demented Japanese kids cartoon. It doesn't always work and sometimes the difficulty, even in the Japanese version, is just too unfair for its own good. But Dynamite Headdy is dangerously close to hidden gem territory. Well worth checking out for any platforming enthusiast.
7.75 outta 10
