Splatterhouse 3 - Genesis Game (Retro Fam)

This happens to be my new favorite game. The game is definitly not for children or those with weak stomachs or constitutions. This game is tons of fun and is addicting.

Excellent game, a few minor quirks and a bit hard at times. Also contains splatterhouse 1 2 and 3. Also there is downloadable content, the wite room is great as well as its fun to have all the other masks, there are 4 available for purchase at the PSN store.

I don't usually play modern beat 'em up's. I never tried any God of War game at all, as the theme just doesn't appeal to me. However, I always liked the original Splatterhouse on Turbographix 16, and this game was on my wish list for a while. It is a wonderful specimen of modernization while retaining all the details from the original. A lot of the reviews said that the game had broken controls, buggy, etc. Well that's just not true. Technically it plays smoothly and enjoyably with no bugs at all. It is challenging from a gaming perspective, but so was the original, and I'm glad that this new one isn't a total cakewalk. You have to actually know what Rick's moves are, and use them for certain enemies, rather than just button mashing. You can get a good little beat 'em up trance going when you're in the zone. The 2d parts are great; just what fans of the original would want. At first I thought the graphics looked odd and couldn't put my finger on it until I realized that they were using the same weird palette of colors that the original had. Quite unsettling for some reason. The story elements are simple, fast paced, unobtrusive, and fun, as they should be. I read that this game lost all support from Namco shortly before release due to company leadership shake ups, thus a sequel is unlikely. That said, I am super happy to have gotten this game at all, and will probably play through again--something else I don't do too often in modern games. I like that it's short.

SplatterhouseGrowing up in the 90's it was a word of reverence. The arcade game only being talked about in hushed whispers and talk of the Turbo port being unsure at best. Leaving me with just my Sega. The second installment was fair, the third was a bit less to my liking, but it was the unfortunate reality of finally playing the first iteration that left me at a loss. I had built up this ideal of what the first game should have been from what I'd heard and when I finally played it it was a let-down. Intense gore didn't make up for the slow cumbersome plodding of the main character. And thus ended my love affair with Splatterhouse.I don't own any video game systems. But my wife does, and when I found out that Splatterhouse was being remade I thought on it awhile before deciding to pick it up. Despite my disappointment with the series there was an ideal there that I still believed in. That intense violence, Gothic gore, and smooth fun game play could be combined under this banner.That's where my adventure started. And unlike the other installments, this one rarely disappointed.Pros:-Interesting Storyline (That alone made me want to keep playing)-Various Attacks (Although the enemies were repetitive, there were plenty of ways to kill them)-Awesome Bosses (Some with very unique designs)-Music (I honestly don't like death metal normally but it really got me into the killing mode)-Graphics (Good overall)-Killing (The combination of the attacks, music, and easy difficulty.

This game is exceedingly gross, which the producers know . . . they said that on one of their interviews I read off of gamespot, but . . . it is addictive!In the absence of a review from any of the major critic websites--due in part to, I guess the Thanksgiving holiday and people actually taking a break from their jobs to enjoy themselves and relax, everyone needs to--I thought I'd put up a quick review to get things going.This review is based on a 30% completion rate, so I still have more to go, but after probably close to 10 hours, I think I'm safe as to sharing an opinion as to what it's all about.Yes, it's worth full price. Definitely. I was very skeptical at first, I though it would be like Golden Axe, playing off of a strong name, but being one of the worst ever games to play. Not at all! They took the title and improved upon it. If you were around to play the original games from Genesis and the arcade version, never saw that one in an arcade myself, but I remember seeing the Genesis version and wanting to buy it, but I had my Nintendo, this game is all of that gory fun x10. Be ready to see blood splatter. The game is fun in that it knows it's gross, and at one point, **one line spoiler alert** the actor for the mask even says, "That right there is why we got a f#$@in' "M" rating." Funniest line so far breaking the 4th wall.There is no repetition in this game. There are a variety of evil demons to kill, and then there are similar ones, but they have different c.
