See that Flyer? That's the Flyer for the original Arcade version of Splatterhouse. Tell me, are Arcade games usually long? No. Do they usually take HOURS to beat? No. Splatterhouse breaks both of these rules with it's Nightmarish difficulty. I just spent THREE hours playing through this game, and let me tell you, it was not a walk in the park. Splatterhouse has got to be the toughest Arcade game in the world, without question. I continued over 200 Times, played for three hours, and I finally managed to beat it. Seriously, if I was playing the actual cabinet (I was playing an emulated version on the PS3 Version of the game), I would be out a year's salary. It's THAT tough.
Anyway, your probably thinking "Why didn't you just quit then?". I ask myself that same question, as I honestly have no idea. Normally, my temper and low patience would have led me to quit a game like this, but for some reason, I didn't. I just kept pressing forward until I finally beat it. I knew Arcade Games could be sadistic, but I never imagined one would take it this far. The people who developed it are probably laughing about it to this very day. In all honesty, I don't see how anyone could have allowed a game like this to be released. This game probably crushed a lot of kids' spirits when it was first released. Imagine the toughest game you've ever played, and multiply it's difficulty times four, and you have this.
But enough about how tough this game is. How does it play? This time, you can go figure it out for yourself, because there is no way I can give this game an honest review. It's just not in me. If you want to punish yourself for some reason, then go and play this. I just do not think I can give this game a fair review after what I went through tonight. If you want my advice though, stay away from this game and play Ninja Gaiden II instead. You'll save yourself a lot of frustration. Yeah, I went there. It's THAT tough, if I haven't made myself clear enough yet.
This is ReddMcKnight, signing off, and hoping that I won't ever get the urge to play this game again.
Nightmare Guy Savage (as dubbed by someone on a Message Board) is a Mini-Game (or Demo) of a game on Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for the PS2. Some think it's just a Mini-Game, while others think it's a Demo for an unreleased Konami Game. Whatever it is, it's fun.
The game is pretty gory. In it, you play the role of a man with two hook swords. Using them, you can dismember enemies in more than one way. After you've killed enough of them in rapid succession, the man will transform into a creature with Werewolf like movements, and gain claws in place of his hook swords. Using the claws, you can rip open enemies, and see they're rib cages. It's nasty fun!
I would personally love to know more about this game, and that's why I'm posting this. If anyone has any other information on this game at all, or if there's a game just like it out there, give me a shout in the comments or PM me.
Thank you.
