Splatterhouse 2
Graphics-7.5 Sound-7.5 Control-6 Challenge-8
Level Design-6.5 Frustration-9 Fun-6.5 Originality-6
Overall Score-6.5
+ Good bosses overall, decent variation, good horror/slasher flick atmosphere, some nice effects, large sprites, some alternate paths (try falling down a hole), fairly good samples overall, fairly even checkpoints (at the beginning of each sub area), password save, difficulty options (no easy mode though)
+/- Unlimited continues?, no time limit, can't attack up- or downwards, can't walk while attacking, tricky to use slide move (you might use it by mistake when you don't want to as well, should've had its own button)
- Heavy trial & error, floaty controls, uneven hit detection, some scratchy voices, somewhat short, mostly flat levels, not enough weapons spread around
