When i first heard they were remaking splatterhouse for the next gen systems, i was excited right off the bat. i used to love the retro version (as well as the sequels). i was especially glad to find that splatterhouse one, two and three are included as unlockables. Even better is how accessable they are. if you dont know, i wont spoil it, but lets just say if you are looking forward to a good emulation of them you wont be let down and it is easier to get them than you would expect.
The game itself is super fun. The opening grabs you by the neck and doesnt let go until, well until you turn it off. The game plays smooth and it is sort of like a mix of Brutal legend's hack and slash with Dante's inferno's upgrade system, in a way.
The game is presented in two different graphic styles. the cut scenes are very detailed, and the gameplay is rendered sort of comic book style and reminds me of Borderlands in that aspect.
The gore (lets be honest, ya want it for the gore) is not lacking in the least bit. Ripping off limbs and using them as weapons, tearing out organs and slicing through bad guys is just the tip of the iceburg in this game. Oh yes, there is gore.
The game plays out just right as far as pacing. it starts out fast and doesnt slow down much at all. If you want an action packed experience, Splatterhouse delivers on that front as well.
I havent finished it yet, but so far the only bad things i can see are that sometimes the screen gets crowded (but not so bad you lose yourself in what is going on) and the Mask Eye mode doesnt seem to be very useful so far (like i said, i havent finished the game yet). Other than that, if you are looking for a good soild rental, this is one to try.
If you dont like gore, foul language, slight nudity or being bossed around by a demonic halloween mask (dont you HATE it when that happens?) then this game is NOT for you, but other than that i say rent it.
