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.

I think I'm blind

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.

Wake me when it's over.

I bought this game with no expectations and, like many people, I was intrigued by the Rob Zombie soundtrack. The game was dark, gothic and errie but was as complex as childrens puppet show. You have very little choices and spend the entire time being lead like cattle into room after unchallenging room where you brutally slash creatures. Walking was awkward and not sensitive. I would walk into items and "POOF" I would just pop up on top of them with out jumping. In short, the game lured me in because of its dark nature and then bored me to tears. Medievil 1 & II were way better even though they were not as gross. I would also like to agree with another reviewer in saying that the contrast of this game is so dark that I had a hard time seeing things. It almost seems like the designers of this game escaped makeing the game detailed by just making most everything black. Wake me when it is over. Rent before you consider buying this game.

just playing this game gave me nightmares,not that type!

There isnt much to say on this game except bad,the worst,and crazy and or stupid.Much of the games combat is taken up by an old rusty axe on some occasions you may find a couple of rounds for the pistol.some of the time you will find some explosive rounds to finish of a boss(which looks really cool).tThe graphics are ok but nothing for your tounge to really water over.The one thing that I really like is the story,sick and twisted.Also the intro is pretty cool as well.All in all i suppose this game is ok for very short while,long enough to get another game.

NightMare Creatures II

To be honest with all you gamers. I like NMC II. Yeah, it still the same as the first. Dark, grim, and errie. But, you gotta give up for the action. They could have done a lot more with the combos, and they could have done a lot more with the creatures as well. But over all I think it's an okay game to play. If they do come out with a number 3 to NMC II. I would most definitly like to see more of an improvement! But other than that, I can say I'm quite satisfied.

Bloody fun on the ps1!

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!

This game is pretty darn good.

This game is good, but I think they could of let u pick up an enemy weapon(mostly I mean the chainsaw guy's chainsaw). I am also pretty sure they are making a 3rd one, cause the ending, I won't ruin it for u, makes like a half way point in it to me. It ... that u only get a gun,axe, and some spells, let's get some other weapons here c'mon!!! Other than that, it's much friekier, that the first game.(I mean the mansion lvl.) Bloodier, and much cooler fatality, now if u would excuse me, I gotta go actually do somthing today, besides being on the computer!!!

problem solving meets the boogie man!

I bought this game for my son after his father brought home deerhunter. I took the deerhunter game back and bought the most monster-infested game I could find. The plot is the norm, man dies, man is brought back, man must fight stuff and get the bad dude who is at the end of the trail.
Awesome!!!!!!
Great gore, great monsters, and most of all, not only do you have to beat the monsters, sometimes, we got stuck for 15 to 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do to get to the next level. One must get thru a sewer, the eiffel tower, and lots of other levels that go on for a great long time. What a decent amount of work for the game programmers. This game makes you think. I do not recommend this game for a young child, but for a teen or advanced pre-teen, it is a decent brain teaser. We still can't figure out how to get onto the last screen.
The gore level can be chosen, and it is a great outlet for anyone having a bad day. Remember, in Deerhunter, you are killing innocent creatures! This is so much fun!
As a Fangoria loving mom, I really liked the gore.
Plus, my son's batting average jumped 100 points after having these games.
I recommend this game as a great find to have if you like the creepy crawly side of life. Also, we bought it from Amazon.com, and it was in great condition, and was shipped faster than I signed off the computer. Great service!

it better then the first

I purchased this game back when I had an original playstation and loved it. Then I got a PS2 and I couldn't save my progress on it, so I got rid of the game. I recently saw this in a used game store and decided to give it a try with my PS3. First, it looks horrible by today's standards. It's totally bitmapped on my 1080p 40" LCD TV. However, the spirit of what I loved about this game still remains. I can't help but be sucked in to the game play and storyline. Considering this game came out in 2000, the graphics and effects are still pretty good. The curtains blowing in the wind look really good, as does some of the detail on the creatures. Game play is pretty simple and the beasts can get a little repetitive, but who cares? It's got gruesome fatalities, lots of roaring, and lots of blood spatter. I would, however, suggest playing it on a standard 19 to 26 inch screen in order to get smoother images. At any rate, it's fun for the whole demented family.
