Splatterhouse Review

For those who is interested in the whole horror that have unnaturally violence, gore seem to be coming out from the 80's movie here's a game that can that can refresh those history. Splatterhouse.From Namco, the game is a remake of its ALSO 80's game with the same name. the just add a few twist to the story.

You start of as the protagonist, Rick near death after his girlfriend, Jennifer been kidnap by the antagonist Dr. West, a 'necrobiologist' professor who is hell bent on opening the portal for the corrupted to take over. a few moment before dies, a mask talk to him saying it can save both him and Jennifer if he put the mask on. seeing no other option, he wear the mask and transform into a hulk-type beast and is set out to stop Dr. West Plans.

So having a remake from the 80's beat'em up game, the just pretty just add a few features such as upgradable skills, birds eye view and of course finishing move which is call "splatter kill". Now the graphic isn't that bad, you do have to wait a loooooooooong time for it loading screen, so make sure you minimize your game over habits. the remake of also took the liberty of taking its battle not just in the mansion like it predecessor. you battle and find 18-rated 'breadcrumbs' left by Jen for rick to find from (mostly) a post-apocalypse junk yard, a rundown circus and even to the past 18 century.

now the battle is pretty much upgraded. you can stil carry weapon if you found any in the game. but its a lot focus more on beating'em-up-with-your-fist. you chain your attacks to make combos and gaining more blood. blood is use so you can upgrade you battle. upgrading your battle means more chain, also more blood. you can also use a "splatter Kill" to gory finish your opponent to, also, earn more blood. other than that you can enter what they say "mask mode", where rick get temporary strong depending on its rage meter. once you finish level 1. you can play survival arena where they throw at you wave upon wave of enemies, and the reward is a collectible. you can even unlock the original game including its splatterhouse 2 and splatterhouse 3.

This game is how the 80's horror movie use to do it. a lot of girl screaming, unnaturally gore. for splatterhouse fan, which i doubt have a lot of in the age of 20's. this is a game to recon for. For newcomers. i gave it a 3 out of 5. try collecting the 'breadcrumbs'. this should keep the guys motivated.
