Anyone play the game? I picked it up for like $18 not too long ago, thinking it was a great deal. Now I'm no so sure. The game play is unique (with the whole head switching) and the writing good but... bahh playing it is so tedious! Small levels, constantly dying, dumb AI... sigh. Does it get better?

I dunno, since I never really die while playing and wasn't bothered by slightly smaller exploration areas. Maybe you should make more use of Red Worm Juice and stuff.

The goo in the mansion, when you have to escape? That got me a couple of times.

I take it you're pretty early in the game, which makes things harder- but here are some quick-tips:

• When you learn how to harvest worms- harvest every one you can. Go back to the professor's lab through the Sewers to use the juicing machine and get you free health potions and other power-ups.
• For most of the beginning of the game, you'll want to use the Bone Head for combat. The best combination in the game has to be X+X+Square, as that stuns them and is usually fast enough to even interrupt any special attacks that you can't counter.
• You can take most useless trinkets to the various Bars in the game to help craft more potions, or sell them to save up for necessary clothing items later on.

Thanks Jayge, I think it may do just that. I am fairly early on in the game - I find I'll play it for a bit and then just switch over to something I enjoy playing more. Uhh, I lent my PSP to my sis for a about 6weeks... she wanted to play locoroco and patapon :P But anyways, I'll get er back just before christmas and rip into DHF again.

I generally dun use walkthroughs until I've exhausted every option (that i can think of) in terms of what to do and where to go - and even then i'll just use em to get past one thing and then be on my way.
