"The splatter is most certainly on display in this functional, yet indistinct beat-'em-up."

An over the top bash of blood, guts, and dark humor

Originally written 1-11-11 Rick passes out in a pool of his own blood from what appears to be a life-ending injury. Before losing consciousness, he hears what sounds like a demonic voice coming from a… Read more

I know I am

Blood soaked and unapologetic. Tits and guts thrown into your face and you either pull back appalled or grin and laugh it off. Splatter house rips the 2D horror fest of the 80's and slaps it into the… Read more

Pretty fun but a bit pooh

Lower your expectations. Now. Because this isn’t really a very good game at all. It’s repetitive, the fatalities repeat forever, you need multiple playthroughs to 1k the game, the side scrolling secti… Read more

Promises too much, delivers too little

For those that don't know, this is a reboot, or a "re-imagining", or "re-we-cannot-be-bothered-coming-up-with-a-new-IP-so-here-is-a-lazy-remake" or any other phrase you want to use. I remember playing… Read more

A guilty pleasure.

I never played the original Splatterhouse and its sequels. From what I've read about these games, what made them stand out is the shock value of blood and gore everywhere. Fast forward twenty years an… Read more

An Unexpected Return

The blood-soaked orgy that was this 16-bit series is given a much-surprising rebirth in this generation. A game that that is more infamous than fondly remembered is not the usual target for such relau… Read more

I enjoy epic stories with well thought out plots, twists, interesting characters and fleshed out worlds as much as anyone, but at heart I am eternally a teenager. You throw in gratuitous amounts of go… Read more

Splatterhouse - So Close, So VERY Far

Splatterhouse is a re-envisioning of an old franchise of arcade-style brawlers that came out in the arcade, on TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis. Short Review: BAD: repetitive and wonky combat the camera not… Read more

A Strong Start Turns Into Mediocrity In A Few Short Hours.

In 1988, who didn't want to play a game like "Splatterhouse"? With so many horror franchises raking in cash at the box office (obvious homage is paid to Friday the 13th here), a game featuring a mask… Read more

A sad revamp to a classic

It’s been three console generations since the last Splatterhouse was released, but was the time this game was sleeping spent wisely to continue in an already known franchise or should it have stayed j… Read more

I can't stop loving you.

I agree wholeheartedly with Alex's review I really do. But from the viewpoint of a fan of the original I NEED to give this game 4 stars. I love this game to death for all the wrong reasons. It's extre… Read more

Not even the best rental

I just rented this game and a hour or two into it and already I am considering taking it back. At first the graphics looked good and smack-talking mask was interesting but I started to tire of the con… Read more
