#SPLATTERHOUSE JENNIFER SCENE MANUAL#
#SPLATTERHOUSE JENNIFER SCENE UPGRADE#

In almost every situation it is vastly superior to your normal moves, because it hits all around you, does tons of damage and you’re invincible while performing it. However, there is one major issue with the combat: the spinning kick is too good. Hit detection is good and quite generous, especially when trying to gather multiple monsters together so you can hit them all at once, and each attack has it’s uses – flying kick knock enemies down quickly, throws can buy you some breathing space, that sort of thing. Rick controls quite well, and while his movements can feel a bit heavy with a fair amount of inertia when you’re trying to change directions, it doesn’t hamper the action much and even gives Rick a satisfying sense of solidity. Spooky furniture aside, the combat is much the same as before.

Save it for the boss battles, and speaking of which… It’s a power than can be useful in a pinch, but you’ve got to be careful where you use it because once you clear a room as Monster Rick you lose all your power and revert to normal.

#SPLATTERHOUSE JENNIFER SCENE UPGRADE#

Your moveset changes slightly, too, but for the most part it’s a straight power upgrade although piling on an extra three hundred pounds of raw muscle unsurprisingly makes Rick move more slowly.

While you’re monster Rick, your attacks do more damage and you take less damage, which I’m sure is what you’d expect to happen. The Terror Mask also fuses with Rick’s flesh, which I’m sure would be very painful as well as causing the same problems with neck movement that you see in Tim Burton’s Batman movies. In an effort to reach Jennifer more quickly, I unleashed Rick’s ultimate technique – by collecting magic orbs you can fill your power bar and then use that power to transform Rick into a form that somehow manages to be even larger and more muscular than regular Rick. I should probably, you know, play the game. This allows the Terror Mask to wheedle its way back into Rick’s mind, and because Rick needs the mask’s power to punch all the monsters into chunky red paste they team up one more time. Then there’s something about the Evil One, a malevolent force that rises from the abyss and attacks Rick’s mansion home.

#SPLATTERHOUSE JENNIFER SCENE MANUAL#

The manual has a bit more info – it tells us that years have passed, during which time Rick married Jennifer, they had a son named David and Rick got a job on Wall Street which makes sense because he’s used to dealing with vicious psychopaths, boom boom. The game itself takes a very cinematic approach to cutscenes, but for whatever reason there’s no in-game explanation for what’s happening. So, Splatterhouse 3 has a story too, but I’m still a bit fuzzy about how it all fits together. Don’t worry, we’ll be seeing plenty of him soon enough. There’s Rick now, peeking out from behind the Splatterhouse 3 logo during the intro.
