Worthwhile guilty pleasure.
I bought this game mainly as I used to love playing the original arcade versions of splatterhouse.
I must say there is a lot wrong with the game but its worthwhile if you look passed the faults. The main area for concern are the following:
jumpy camera angles, some poor level design, long load times and the control system causes a lot of deaths. On the bright side for me: 4 games in 1, 5 if you include survival. Plenty of action/blood/nudity/bad language.
Decent amount of upgrades and unlocks, lots of moves, the monsters are very well done, classic sidescrolling action, good boss fights and gore again.
As the game failed miserably to sell many copies you can pick this up at a very reasonable and worthwhile price nowadays. We all need that guilty pleasure.
overall: 8.0
