Fantastic review of an underated alltime classic series. My favourite is Splatterhouse 2 for the Genesis. Holy Moly it was such a blast in my childhood to play something morbid like this. The Intro still gives me chills nowadays ( my favourite ost of all retro games) - awesome!

The first 30 seconds of the Walking Dead's opening theme is quite similar to the Splatterhouse 3 opening theme. Not for nothing the Walking Dead's music composer is a huge Mega Drive Fan 😊

Yes! Probably my favorite game series of all time. I had Splatterhouse for the TG16 in the early 90s as a kid, definitely a life changer as it introduced me to the movies that the enemies and Rick are taken from. Someday I would love to play the FM Towns Marty version, it is supposedly "arcade perfect". I have played the actual arcade cab on a authentic PCB, and the TG16 version is very impressive how close it is to the original arcade. Legendary status for the Splatterhouse series, I really hope Namco does something else with it other than license the awesome Unbox figures. A new game would be rad!

Splatterhouse trilogy is the all time unique action horror games ever made in the 16-bit era of video games. To think that its made by guys who made Pac-Man, and decided to make a very violent game filled with body horror.

I remember seeing the screen shots for Splatterhouse 2 in a game guide in '92. It's the only game that actually made me hesitate to play it. I wasn't so much scared of it as I was... disturbed. Like it would physically harm me and cake my soul in filth. I'm happy to report it did, and I've been in love with these games ever since.

17:55 : You always compare the original Vs the 2nd one ,and your conclusions are always based on this aspect ,but you have to remember that there are people out there such as myself who played the 2nd one (MegaDrive) yet ,they never played the original . I was blown away back then by this game’s😲 *atmosphere* ,gore ,depression and pessimistic mood and totally loved it(*their music themes were also great & very unique ). So ,since SplatterHouse 2 was (for myself) my first contact with the game I didn’t mind if it was similar to the (older)arcade as you say ,or if it was similar to the first one ,since I enjoyed what I saw and never cared to compare it with the previous ones. Thus ,for me SplatterHouse 2 ,will always be a unique MegaDrive-experience in my memory.

My best friend had a TurboGRAFX 16. So we argued all the time about which system was better. I remember going over to his house and playing Splatterhouse. And you won't believe this: I did not know that there was a version of Splatterhouse for the Sega Genesis. That's right. I did not know that we could resolve our favorite dispute right then and there by comparing two versions of this one game!

Splatterhouse 2 arguably has better graphics, especially running in a much larger window and featuring all those parallax/layering effects. However, it's a newer game, benefiting from twice the ROM space. Not a fair comparison.

I was about 10 when i got my MD, and when it came to splatterhouse, i made the rookie error of assuming newest was best. I rented Splatterhouse 3, found it to be too clunky and i hated the timer, so i never tried 1 or 2. Boy, talk about a mistake. 1 + 2 are much different style of games, easier to pick up and play for the younger crowd. Great work, once again, SLX. You're one of the few video game KZbinrs i watch, because you keep it real and i can relate to your content, being a poor Sega kid growing up.

My uncle had Splatterhouse on the TG16 and four year old me couldn't bear to be in the same room when it was on. I was similarly scared of the Genesis games on top of the whole violent game outrage Mortal Kombat caused around the time 3 came out. As I played them years later, I found the presentation and atmosphere of those games to be amazing and the narratives to be shockingly engaging. In short, this series will always have a special place in my heart. I will gladly replay the games once a year.

@Aevilbeast 8 ай бұрын

I really like the Splatterhouse series, still do! As a big fan of 1 &2, I was hyped up for the 3, especially when I heard it was adding beat'em up mechanics, and making it more non-linear. But I gotta say I was SO incredibly disappointed when I founded out about the Splatterhouse 3 had a timer! It's probably my biggest gaming pet peeve, especially when it's tied to the ending like it was. It took a game that I always wanted and kind of ruined it for me... (Almost akin, to getting a beautiful filet mignon, but when you take your first bite, you learn it was seasoned with a season you really dislike. It's still an amazing steak and you can still enjoy it but with every bite it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth that prevents you from truly enjoying it, but that one little addition makes it go from "OMG! Perfection!" to "Eh, it's ok".) I get that the developers wanted to instill a sense of urgency and panic by implementing it. But the thing about Splatterhouse that I really loved about it , was just soaking in everything, all the awesome monsters, the creepy setting & atmosphere, the disconcerting sound effects and music, and when you're rushing through everything to ensure you get the good ending, you don't really get time to appreciate all of it. IMO, It really doesn't make any sense for a game to rewards players for finishing the game faster by skipping a lot of the content and taking the absolute shortest path possible. Especially not in a game like this. It's kind ironic that with that game where they make a point to say it's non-linear, that because of the timer there's really only one route to take to get the good ending. It makes a lot of rooms pointless and only exist to cost you time. Once again, IMO I think the game would've been much better and better received if they threw out the timer, and instead tied the endings to certain goals, like how much of the house did you explore, if/how many times you died, or maybe finding certain items. It would've made for so much of better experience without changing too much of the game.

Honestly 3 is by far my fav, since it's the one I grew up playing. It also feels a lot more fleshed out (so to speak) in terms of story and gameplay. It is hard as fuck though, and that last boss is straight up brutal. Really wish this series would make a return with modernized retro 2D graphics, and get Stephan Weyte to voice the Mask.

Now, with SH3 I do appreciate the new direction bit it felt like Namco was cashing in on the success of Sega's SOR franchise. And it had so much potential but fell flat like a bad F13 sequel. I'd give it barely 3 tombstones out of 5 Would love to hear your thoughts on the 2010 reboot.
