If I'm not discussing the gameplay it's because the gameplay consists of walk-right-hit-things.Ī new obstacle on the course are hanging baby corpses. I think this game was directed by Rob Zombie. Onwards to adventure in WHAT IS GOING ON BACK THERE?!Ĭorpses, chains, impalement. While not terribly common (I think one other boss does it), you need to watch out for those parting shots. Bet you didn't expect to read that combination of words in one sentence today. They're easy enough to kill, it's the sheer volume that provides some semblance of a challenge.Īs a parting shot, a mutant leech erupts from the hanging baby corpse. They live in that pile of meat and lunge out at Rick. The boss isn't so much a boss as it is a zerg rush of these leech things. Oh Jesus he has a 2X4! Why decapitate your enemies when you can slam them into a wall so hard that they pop? Say, where do all these monsters come from anyway? Eh.

Despite how bloody and miserable they look, someone or something has been keeping these people alive for some reason. The ones chained to the wall are nice enough to vomit poison into your path before they die. Some of people who are down here aren't dead yet. Oh Jesus he's got cleaver! Jack Thompson was right! It's a murder simulator! If you think that's bad, be thankful he doesn't have a sharp object like a cleaver or something.

Originally it was a really obvious take on the hockey mask used by Mr. Okay, it's not really over until the spirit of Jason Voorhees says it is. Wow, that was the shortest game I ever did on here. This is the point where you start yelling at the screen 'don't go in there!' Screams are heard, everybody dies, the end. Since that never comes up ever in the entire franchise, I like to imagine they're some random teenagers trying to get in from the rain. Officially they're parapsychology students coming to investigate the mansion. Okay, you probably don't, but you can make some reasonable guesstimates. For those of you in the know, this mansion was owned by a Dr. Welcome to the West Mansion, named after its deceased owner. It's not even very scary, but it's the art direction and style that would make this game an iconic classic. It wasn't the first horror video game, and I'm not even sure if it was the first horror arcade game. So, with a remake on the way, let's look at something that's bloody crazy.

They're not, but sometimes you can at least get some good atmosphere out of something, even if it does assume that gory is scary. It's that time of year again! Time for the media out there to make the mistake that 'gory' and 'scary' are synonymous.
