The new duo fight their way through waves of Corrupted in order to confront Dr. The Terror Mask has a personality all of its own and it talks to Rick constantly throughout the story providing advice, information, and mostly pointless banter. In order to survive and save Jennifer Rick must don the Terror Mask which transforms him physically. The Terror Mask is conveniently placed within Rick’s reach as the life fades from him. West unleashes the Corrupted upon the couple kidnapping Jennifer and mortally wounding Rick. Unfortunately, the romance is ended before it begins as Dr. Not to mention they have a date planned afterwards and, as Jennifer is unaware, Rick has brought along a ring. West’s mansion for her interview just to look out for her. Splatterhouse’s story sticks mostly with the original title, but with a few changes and additions. The shotgun is extremely powerful, but as the rest of the weapons it can only be used so much before it is gone. The best use of this comes when Rick has his own arm cut off and then it is picked up in order to beat down the enemy who made the mistake of severing it in the first place. Enemies torn off arms can be turned around on the remaining foes along with any decapitated heads. And speaking of limbs those are possible weapons too. The 2×4 is used as a blunt object whereas the cleaver is used to dice the enemy to bits limb by limb. The melee weapons provide increased damage and specific moves. Throughout the campaign there will be many weapons scattered on the ground. ![]() However, Rick won’t be limited to his fists the entire game. Enemies can be diced into small pieces or a ground pound can be done to raise shards of bone from the ground. Spikes break through the skin on his back and blades come forth from his arms. Rick is already a beast as is and this form he temporarily transforms into makes him an unstoppable force that leaves nothing but red covered rooms behind him. Combat also gets a boost from the Berserker mode. If the attack button is held after a grab the enemy can be aimed in any direction to make him a missile through his accompanying Corrupted buddies. The grabs result in delivering a deft kick into the chest of your opponent causing him to fly away from you. As upgrades are purchased in the different areas regarding combat Rick’s unarmed combat efficiency is only strengthened. Punches land with loud thuds, spurting blood, and sometimes launching the enemy across the room. The moves are powerful and definitely show their impact. The combat in Splatterhouse won’t win any awards for innovation, but it does the job when it contacts with the enemy. For example, one monster has his leech-like head fisted in and out of his neck numerous times before having it ripped out entirely. Some kills can’t even fully be described with text and must be seen to understand. In the beginning levels players will see a lot of spines separated near the hips and arms casually ripped from their sockets. This applies to both the common enemies and the boss characters. These special kills are available after an enemy has been weakened to the point that they are outlined in red. The most brutal kills come in the form of Splatterkills. This ranges from getting their head crushed between Rick’s large hands to having their colon ripped out through their anus (this is not a joke). His enemies will be torn apart in almost every way possible. Aside from personal harm Rick really does dish out the pain. Eventually the bone regenerates along with the muscle and skin on top of that. ![]() Even his arm can be completely chopped off and only time will heal this wound. Ribs are broken and exposed through huge gashes in the skin. Rick’s body can be ravaged and torn apart literally after long battles. This is another instance of the gore levels. Due to his new found strength Rick doesn’t have to worry about his fragile human body anymore since the Terror Mask has granted him regenerative abilities which are visibly seen through the bodies condition. After transforming into the Hulk sans the green skin Rick can deal out a world of hurt. Ranging from the dismemberments to quick kills to the sheer amount of blood you will spill that could replace the Earth’s oceans. ![]() If there’s one thing Splatterhouse has plenty of it is gore. The mask promises to aid him in his quest to save Jeniifer at which point they can part ways. Laying in his own blood, intestines hanging out, Rick notices the Terror Mask laying within arms reach in his pool of blood. West appears and kidnaps Jennifer while Rick is fatally wounded by the Corrupted Dr. West’s mansion for an interview Jennifer heads there accompanied by Rick who decided to tag along to look after her. The game stars Rick, his girlfriend Jennifer, and the psychotic Dr. Namco Bandai is looking to revive the series and make the name known to more players through their reimagining. Splatterhouse is a name that will resonate with old school gamers.
