 What I have to say???

The game is a classical remake from a 1988 beat em' up arcade game made by Namco but unlike its original version of sidescrolling beat em' up style this remake uses the current gen style of beat em' up which is abit open and more graphical(3D wise). But sticking with originality the developer still include a somewhat sidescrolling platform style which just brings back memories of playing the game in 2D.

The game follows Ricks our metalhead normal guy which on the verge of death made a pack with 'Terror Mask' or as it like to called himself 'GOD' by wearing it and thus turning him into a mean killing machine with variable corny jokes every now and again. And not forgetting that 'GOD' talks to you and 'encourage' on every kills you make. Sort like your personal trainer. Now with his new found power he have to fight through monsters and 'aliens' to save his beautiful soon to be fiancée Jen from the evil clutches of Dr. Henry West from making her a sacrifice to resurrect his deceased wife.

The graphics is not a full 3D like most of recent games that came out in the market but a mix of 2D and 3D somewhat like Spiderman : Shattered Dimensions but combine with intense metal songs from bands such as Matadon, Lamb of God and Municipal Waste to name a few give you and adrenalin rush to continue on playing the game even with its mediocre story and corny jokes (the full list of the bands are included within the official site of the game).

Feel the power Ricky!

Currently after 4 hours of playing from 6am to 10am on Saturday I am at Phase 4 of the story and as of now I couldn't find any serious bugs but other than fights can be annoying with a lack of a descend tutorial to help you at the beginning of the game but it is not a huge problem as to ruin your play time plus the controls of the game is somewhat easy enough with a purpose of utterly FUN. Although it is a remake but the very kind developer didn't forget to put some extra value of re-playability by putting a few collectibles and also a few raunchy pictures of your beautiful Jen are just not to be miss.   

Some of Jen's picture that will make you wanting more

This classical game are once again a classical game in my drawer aswell as the game category and I would definitely like to see all Splatterhouse episodes to be remake again with more of Jen superbly fine bodily character. Aswell as the rest of the story in 3D ofcourse. Well, that's it for the review of Splatterhouse, I would like to apologise if I write a bad english because it is not my first language and I would like to apologise if I hurt anyone feelings.
