Product Description

In this sequel to the popular 3-D action-horror title, Crowley is back--100 years later--and is again inflicting Europe with his gothic creatures. You're on the hunt for the evil scientist as either Herbert Wallace or Rachelle Donnerty, and on your side is a collection of new weapons, spells, and combat techniques. To get to Crowley, you'll have to fight your way through carnivorous zombies, rabid animals, disgusting lab creatures, and assorted other monsters.

Nightmare Creatures 2 boasts all the intensity and action of its predecessor but with improved gameplay mechanics, smoother polygonal characters, and larger, more intricate levels. Also, this third-person game features an optional first-person perspective so players can look through the eyes of their character to spot well-hidden power-ups and weapons.

This review is from: Nightmare Creatures 2 (Video Game)

Why do they do this? Everyone knows that the original was good fun for about half an hour before it got tediously repetitive, so why do it again?

Yep that's right this game is simply the same as the last one. Only now you control one character who wields a huge axe. Sounds great? Trust me it isn't. The fighting system is exactly that same as the last one. You know slash at enemy with combo, defend a few attacks then repeat... Boring! The levels are also pretty much of the same thing, dark with little variation. I haven't come across one part of it that is different.

A real letdown, made all the worse by the opening sequence with loads of action and all out rock guitar assault to boot. You sweat in anticipation expecting the goods and yet the goods aren't here!

I really expected this to be something but after two years all the flaws of the original still exist. Why couldn't there have been more in depth things to do? Like stalk prey stealthily, a few puzzles here and there? The closest thing to this I've seen is pick up an item and use it. Wow how inventive! Please if they even begin to contemplte a third (like many magazines are saying) they could at least try a new approach. The first didn't work and neither does the second. A terrible waste as the plot is in place but the game isn't. That isn't what we gamers expect. We want innovation, fun and a game that plays well. Not a simple rehash, that just isn't worth the money you spend on it.

2.0 out of 5 stars I think I'm blind, July 18, 2000

This review is from: Nightmare Creatures 2 (Video Game)

I had to upgrade my glasses after playing this. The game doesn't disappoint, it is in fact dark, but when I've been running into a wall for ten minutes and I think I'm actually running down an extremely long hallway, there's a problem. Okay, so the game's a bit dark. Next. I hacked and hacked and hacked and hacked and still got hacked myself. The game is so repetative. That and the ghouls or freaks or whatever just wail on you the entire time. The setting and the storyline for the game are cool. I like the gothic atmosphere it lends. The downfall to this game would have to be the continuous hacking and picking your character back up. It takes away from the adventure. To be honest, after playing for days, I threw in a cheat code to becoem invicible. Even then I didn't finish it because it took WAY TOO LONG. Don't get me wrong, I like in depth, but not forever. Contrary to popular belief, my life is not my Playstation. If you like difficult hack and slash games, pick it up. If you like eerie stuff, rent it. It stays true to the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody fun on the ps1!, April 6, 2003

This review is from: Nightmare Creatures 2 (Video Game)

I fell in love with this game just after the first few moments of playing it!It has all the sadistic,horrific charm you would expect in such a title.As an ax-weilding,demented research subject you start out by breaking out of your asylum,and then venturing to diffrent cities like London and Paris.

To get the feel of the game,you can start off in "therapy" mode (training),where two monsters will continualy generate so you can practice you moves.After you have hacked at your foe enough,
a "FATALITY" message will appear.At that time you can finish him by lopping off his head,and the chopping up the monster's corpse
with blood splatter galore.There are other diffrent kinds of finishing moves you can execute,but this is the only move that the game tells you how to do(X,X,O).

Voice acting is well done,but there is a problem with the soundtrack...while you might get hooked in by the "Rob Zombie" headline,his music only plays during cinemas...not during the gameplay.While you are playing the game,what little music there is,is standard Resident Evil type music.That's really too bad, because Rob Zombie's music would have definatly went with this type of gameplay.

The graphics although a bit dated,are still very good in my opinion.The monsters look more twisted as you progress(the guys with chainsaws!),and the enviroment perfectly reflects the dark nature of this game.However sometimes the game uses the "pitch black dark effect" making it very difficult to see where you are going....you'll probabally have to adjust your tv lighting

There is also a fair amount of puzzel solving,(find the switch, get the dynamite to blow up the wall,move bookcase to find hidden
door)but none of it is TOO difficult,in fact sometimes the answer
can be so obvious,but you just tend to overlook it.

While it's a great guilty pleasure to watch this madman splatter blood all over the walls,Nightmare Creatures 2 suffers from the "Duke Nukem Syndrome".By that I mean to fully enjoy this game,you have to use the cheat modes(invinciblity,and unlimited ammo).Just like duke nukem,I can't see how anyone could possibly beat this game without them.So my advice is to look up the cheats on the internet,buy this game,and have ALOT of fun!You already know if you're the type of gamer to really get a kick out of this!
