(2/19/2014 - 2/25/2014) Game of the Week: Splatterhouse

[MrFlutterPie]

This is my most favorite Turbo game ever!

It manages to keep things so fresh despite being a one plane beat em up.  The music the atmosphere, the gore it is just so awesome.  Plus Rick is such a badass.  Got a possessed knife flying at you?  Punch it with your bare hand!  The possessed room boss fight is one of the most creative boss fights I have ever seen.

The third boss always kind of creeped me out. There's just something dreadfully macabre about a human-like... thing... with a bagged head.

That's the room with the chandelier that falls at the end too, right?
I always forget that's going to happen. Been a long time since I played splats.

[nodtveidt]

Yeah, that's the one.

Is there a way to kill the Chainsaw dude if you lose the rifle?  For fun, I've been trying it without but it's turning out to NOT be fun.

You can juggle the two shottys to work him over easily.

If you run out of shots the slide and jump kick can also work.  Dangerous, though.

[FiftyQuid]

Yeah, I've been trying to just kick him.  Get my ass handed to me every time.

You can trap him on the edge of the screen and juggle him against the screen boundary. It's risky but effective.

u will have to take a hit, but when your flashing you can close the gap and get a few hits in.  If you time it right, you can do this at the edge of the screen and get a lot of shots it while he's pinned agajnst the edge.  Make sure you have full life though or u dont have a prayer

I did this by accident once.  Thought it was a glitch.  At first I was trying to kill him without the shotgun just to give myself more of a challenge.  After getting my ass handed to me dozens of times it's become a "this is pissing me off!!!" scenario.

I remember taking both shotguns to the end of the stage a couple of times so you can have double the ammo.  You have to carry one forward a little and then drop it, and then go back and get the other, and then continue leapfrogging them until you are at the end. 

[FiftyQuid]

Maybe I'm not explaining myself properly… I'm trying to beat him without the guns.  Beating him with the shotgun is easy.  I've managed to do it, but only once and I'm not really sure how it happened.  I didn't glitch the screen I just beat him flat out.  I've tried to repeat it, but I'm back on the losing side.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the turbo version is the worst in the series. Except the horrid new one on 360. I like 3 the most, then 2. But yeah.. the original is still awesome and deserves a spot in the weekly pick. The arcade version is the best though. Walking through giant vaginas is something every game should have.
