It was released in North America on November 23, 2010 and in Europe on November 26, 2010. It is a remake of the original ''[[Splatterhouse]]'' which was released in 1988. ==Gameplay== ''Splatterhouse'' is combat-oriented with Rick fighting various monsters in either hand-to-hand combat or with makeshift weapons, such as wooden planks and meat cleavers. Rick is able to attack his enemies with super strength and rip them apart. He can also chain attacks together into [[Combo (gaming)|combos]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.nothingbutsoftware.com/2009/01/splatterhouse-the-goriest-game-ever/ |title=Goriest Game Ever }}</ref> Rick can lose limbs,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1up.com/media/03/6/4/2/lg/397.jpg?r|title=Rick missing an arm|publisher=[[1up.com]]|accessdate=2008-11-10}}</ref> but is able to grow them back over time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1up.com/media/03/5/5/1/lg/129.JPG?r|title=Rick growing it back?|publisher=[[1up.com]]|accessdate=2008-11-10}}</ref> Arms can be used as clubs to fight enemies. Throughout the game, Rick can collect blood from defeated enemies. Collecting a certain amount will allow the player to unlock new moves and perform special attacks. Players can find journals documenting Dr. West's history while photos of Rick's girlfriend serve as a breadcrumb trail to follow. He can perform "Splatter Kills", extremely gory finishing moves. There is also a platforming element with jump nodes to keep instant death falls to a minimum. The game also comes with the original ''[[Splatterhouse]]'' arcade game, ''[[Splatterhouse 2]]'' and ''[[Splatterhouse 3]]'' as unlockables.<ref>[http://us.splatterhousegame.com Official Namco Splatterhouse Web Site]</ref> ==Plot== Jennifer Willis is to have a interview with Dr. Henry West M.D., professor of [[necrobiology]], at his house. Her boyfriend, Rick Taylor, comes along so nothing bad happens. Just as Rick is about to propose to Jennifer, the two are attacked by Dr. West's experiments, kidnapping Jennifer and leaving Rick mortally wounded. Rick knocks over a sarcophagus revealing a mask. Close to death, the Terror Mask calls out to Rick, saying it will save him and help save Jenny if he puts it on. Having no choice, Rick puts the mask on and is transformed into a hulking beast powered by the blood of others. Rick follows Dr. West and Jennifer through other dimensions and time periods and learns of Dr. West's plan to bring dark deities, known as "The Corrupted", into this world by sacrificing Jennifer. Dr. West believes The Corrupted will resurrect his dead love Leonora, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jennifer. The Corrupted intended to lay waste to Earth instead. It is revealed Rick was the one who supposedly killed Leonora, according to Dr. West, who witnessed it. In truth, she was burnt in a [[wicker man]] by a witch hunting mob, who were possessed by demons. In an attempt to save Leonora, thinking she was Jennifer, Rick was attacked by her reanimated corpse, forcing him to kill her. In the end, Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer and thwarting West's plans. However, West still managed to summon one of the Corrupted, which constructs itself by using all of the experiments Rick killed. Rick manages to kill it, but in the process, a stray spirit possesses Jennifer. Believing his deal with the Mask to be done, he tries to pry it off. However, aware of Jennifer's possession, it refuses. It is implied from West's reaction that the stray spirit is of Leonora's. ==Development and promotion== In early 2009, BottleRocket revealed that [[Namco Bandai Games]] had made the decision to cut the developer from the project, and had already taken back their console development kits. With no other projects or funding on their plate, BottleRocket was effectively shuttered as a result. Namco Bandai Games explained that the move was due to a "performance issue." The project was handed over to the internal development team at Namco Bandai Games who had recently completed ''[[Afro Samurai (video game)|Afro Samurai]]''. Weeks later, it became known that Namco Bandai Games hired members of the original development staff from BottleRocket to help finish the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/02/bottlerocket-confirms-work-on-splatterhouse|title=BottleRocket confirms work on Splatterhouse|author=Jason Dobson}}</ref> The game's story and dialogue was penned by comic book writer [[Gordon Rennie]]. [[Howard Drossin]] composed original scores and the protagonist Rick Taylor (in his non-possessed look) was modelled after him. ''Splatterhouse'' was featured on the cover of ''[[Fangoria]]'' issue #295 in June of 2010. This was the first video game ever featured as a central cover on the horror magazine. The cover featured custom artwork by Dave Wilkins (the game's Art Director), and the article featured an interview with the design team by Fangoria's lead video game coverage writer Doug Norris.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fangoria.com/index.php?id=982:first-look-fangoria-295-cover-and-contents&option=com_content&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=167|title=First Look: FANGORIA #295 cover and contents!|author=FANGORIA staff}}</ref> ==Reception== Response to the game was mixed.

He criticized the camera, load times, glitches and cheap deaths, but praised the story and the inspired artistic touches. [[IGN]]'s Arthur Gies scored it 4.0 out of 10. He said that: "Some occasionally slick visuals and funky design is undermined by camera and framerate problems and enemy variety that dries up halfway through." ''[[Fangoria]]'' gave the game a 3.5/4, praising the overall fun gameplay and stating the game "defines its own genre of horror gaming," separating it from [[survival horror]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fangoria.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2804:qsplatterhouseq-video-game-review&catid=55:video-game-reviews&Itemid=186|title=SPLATTERHOUSE (Video Game Review)|author=Doug Norris}}</ref> Micah C of [[Blistered Thumbs]] gave the game a 7/10, saying "Splatterhouse is a ridiculously violent, tasteless romp full of gore and sprinklings of Jennifer with her clothes off, and every single moment of it is incredibly fun."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2010/12/splatterhouse-2010-review/1/|title= Splatterhouse (2010) Game Review (Video Game Review)|author=Micah C}}</ref> Edge awarded the game 5/10 stating that "Namco's reanimated monster flails awkwardly with one gangrenous foot still trailing in the grave."<ref>Edge #223, January 2011 (Future PLC)</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{Official|http://www.splatterhousegame.com}} {{Splatterhouse series}} [[Category:2010 video games]] [[Category:Beat 'em ups]] [[Category:Horror video games]] [[Category:Namco Bandai games]] [[Category:PlayStation 3 games]] [[Category:Video game remakes]] [[Category:Xbox 360 games]] [[fr:Splatterhouse (jeu vidéo, 2010)]] [[it:Splatterhouse (2010)]] [[ru:Splatterhouse (игра, 2010)]]'
