Splatterhouse Part 2 (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Splatterhouse Part 2 is the original Japanese edition of Splatterhouse 2 via Namco Japan with the local title.
A questionable morality
To save his girlfriend, the hero agrees to don an evil mask that multiplies his strength in exchange for a certain say over his mind, then sets off to pulp hordes of creatures across hemoglobin-soaked sets. Love justifies everything, it seems, even a shady pact with a possessed artifact and a pronounced taste for carnage, owned without a flinch.
Is Splatterhouse Part 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel to the famous Namco horror beat'em up, Splatterhouse 2 offers a macabre adventure where Rick the masked hero faces nightmarish creatures to save his fiancée Jennifer. The polished horror art direction, brutal combat system and gore atmosphere make it a mature beat'em up reference on Mega Drive. For anyone fond of 16 bit horror games or seeking an atypical beat'em up on the Sega console, a warm recommendation still valid today without hesitation for genre fans truly here indeed for any newcomer now.
