Splatterhouse is a really good fun adult game. It doesnt pretend to be anything other than straight out fun and madness. Extreme gore, horror, nudity, heavy metal you cannot review this game as you would others and start picking away at artistic merit and social relevance. Its solid, its fun their are no glitches or bugs its a decent lenght theres all 3 original games - what more can you ask for. The only way someone could possibly fault this game is if its not their personal taste. But if you love the originals or all of the above then this game is definately for you. Because of the kind of game this is it most definate critics will fail it. They laud praise on the COD series, which i love, but that is no less fun in bad taste to be perfectly honest. But im not here to bash only to praise and splatterhouse I praise mighty. Dont look over this one!

Nerdy, weakling college student Rick Taylor lies dying on the floor in the lobby of the massive West Mansion. His girlfriend Jennifer has been kidnapped (the plot of every beat-em-up ever) by the maniacal Doctor West. A mask topples out of a nearby sarcophagus, it speaks to him, promising an extension to his life, and, more importantly, revenge. Upon donning the mask, Rick is not transformed into a green-faced party animal in a yellow suit, but a muscle-bound raging hulk ready to take on any monsters the West Mansion has to offer. There's plenty of splatter, and plenty of house, so, if nothing else, it certainly lives up to the title.

Fortunately there IS a lot more to enjoy. Splatterhouse is probably the bloodiest game of all time and is a great beat-em-up, but it does begin to wither by your third play-through. The gameplay is very. very similar to that of Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3), though nowhere near as polished. And a lot of Rick abilities are similar to that of Alex Mercer from Prototype (PS3). It's no secret that the game had a troubled production. Bottle Rocket Games was fired (and rendered defunct as a result) by Namco around early 2009, and it took Namco's in-house team nearly a year and a half to fill in the rest. The game still feels rushed and unfinished. The biggest problem lies with the fact that the game does not install to your PS3, but merely loads off the Blu Ray disc. This creates very, very long loading times that will REALLY drive you mad.

Being a massive Splatterhouse fanboy and having once run a fairly successful Splatterhouse fan site when I was a lot younger than I am now I felt it my duty to write a frank and honest review of the reboot/latest incarnation of the granddaddy of blood and guts, and I do promise to be impartial to do the old boy some justice. So what's the score? Does it live up to the gory glory days (as some, including me, saw them) when it was officially the first bad boy on the block? Well hopefully this list of pros and cons (topped off with a cherry of a conclusion) will help fans old and new to make up their minds whether this is killer or filler in the world of this seminal horror game series. Hope it helps!

THE GREAT:
- In this modern day of grand desensitised violence Splatterhouse is truly allowed to let rip, and by rip I mean faces, limbs and lungs straight from its enemies quivering bodies, gone are the days of the original Splatterhouse's green blood and gradually diminishing claret consumption this is how it was meant to be and how it is.
- The mask is both menacing, funny, brilliantly voiced and true to its most awesome incarnation (from part 3). Watching it drink blood then cackle in delight and spur Rick ever onwards is a blast.
- The lighting is really dramatic and looks like it was dragged straight from the set of your favourite O.T.T. horror flick. Good stuff.
- Ambient affects such as the house cracking and corrupting as you mooch through it is a joy to behold. Couple this with various nasty looking set pieces and slamming doors and the horror vibe is turned up to 10.
- The story is true to the original with a few adages that work well.

This game was trashed by the critics. And well, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't without its flaws. The instruction manual is useless (yes, USELESS), the in-game tutorial is slow-paced, and at some points how you are supposed to advance in the stage is cryptic. And not in a Resident Evil, puzzle solving way. You have to find a part of the background you can highlight, and THEN figure out what button to press to break/open said background. And yes, there are some audio glitches, and the loading time does get a bit tedious. Especially since you WILL die a lot.
However, I still think the critics were completely unfair with this game. While it's no groundbreaking action game, it's very satisfying and fun to play. You can tear your way through ghouls and zombies and tentacle creatures, with a variety of weak punches, strong punches, grabs, and other combos. If an enemy gets weak it will glow with a red outline, letting you trigger a "splatter kill" which are all very satisfying. If a bit repetitive.
The controls are smooth, although they may take some getting used to. Like I said, you WILL die. And die. AND die. The game is far from easy, and you'll need to master the health regeneration, dodging, blocking, and so on to make it through.
But what really makes this game is the atmosphere and the story. It is essentially a re-telling of how the whole Splatterhouse series got started, but it's by no means a re-hash of the original. The Mask has a personality, for one thing. For some, this may kill the mystery and horror of the Mask, but I found it added a nice element to the story, with a bit of both comedy and ruthless bloodlust. The voice acting is phenomenal, and all the while you are focused on saving your girlfriend.
