I finally got round to playing this game earlier today when I bought it months ago and being a Game Center CX fan, was totally surprised to hear this out of nowhere!
This has to be the best instrumental I have ever heard in a game. It's a shame it is only on this game, it should be on other things. It's just soooo awesome!!!! The person who wrote it / produced it is a legend in my opinion.
The game itself was hard but I liked the adverts that appeared during the loading screen.
Richard Jacques is the composer of this game. He used to work for SEGA during their glory days. He has composed soundtracks for Sonic R, Daytona USA CCE, Shinobi X, Metropolis Street Racer and of course, Headhunter, which is arguably his magnum opus (he was finally given a budget to work with an orchestra). Check out his other work. The man is a musical genius.
As much I love this Theme, as much I hate them. This SOngy remings me everytime the Part in the Game where you must drive Thrue the City and disarm this dammit Bombs.
Ide a for TV adaptation. In the future in a police state. There is an elite unit within the police department who go after the most dangerous criminals. At times due to outcome of these events this elite unit is often given the nickname as Headhunter. Which the police comissioner strongly denies. Our hero jack wade joins this unit in hopes of lifting the burdens caused by his late father political troubles.
Headhunter is terrible. Loading sucked, bike controls sucked, shooting hit detection sucked... basically the game was bad but as it was one of the last DC games it received credits anyway.
I like this theme, but it somehow reminds me of Hermes House Band.
@SkylineRKR In a way I agree with ya. The bike controls / loading extra were terrible lol. But somehow I didn't mind. It was the awesome story which sold it to me and of course the incredible soundtrack!
Awesome game! I remember riding around the city on the motorbike just so I could listen to this tune, which mostly would end with me crashing and dying lol!
Shame my DC stopped loading this disc after a couple of playthroughs.
I remember this game from DC.

@TheNativeDialect I totally agree. One of the best video game composers. And Headhunter probably his best work.
