On occasion, you can pick up items like machetes, two-by-fours and pipes to help in your fight, and while they might not do much to stronger enemies, they make quick work of the smaller minions. In turn, you must use your fists and feet to pummel them into a fleshy pulp. As you walk from room to room, you encounter many skinless enemies that exhibit no intelligence and have the objective of killing you. For those unfamiliar with the original, it is just a simple brawler. The remake plays out quite similarly to the original title, albeit updated to fit modern gaming conventions. With nothing to lose, Rick put on the mask and became a hulking creature of destruction with only one thing on his mind: saving Jennifer. After being attacked by unknown creatures and left for dead, Rick was lying in a pool of his own blood and entrails next to a mask that spoke, offering him a deal so that he would live at the cost of his soul. It was supposed to be a typical visit to a university professor, but it turned into something much, much worse. You play the role of Rick, a medical student accompanied by his girlfriend Jennifer to the mansion of Dr. The plot of the remake is essentially the same as the original arcade hit. The question is whether or not the final product was worth the trouble.

By now, people following the game are already familiar with the controversy surrounding its development. Several console generations later, Namco Bandai Games brings back the series in a reboot for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. After its run during the 16-bit era, though, the series was never continued and remained a cult classic. It worked well enough that it saw a home port while censored, it was still considered a success and spawned two sequels.

In a medium where almost everything was sanitized and fanciful, the game placed an overlay of blood, gore and grotesque monsters on what was essentially a light platforming beat-'em-up. When the original Splatterhouse debuted in arcades back in 1988, the video game landscape was in a much different state.
