Splatterhouse is making its next-gen debut soon. GameZone was able to get some hands-on time with an early build. Was the bloody experience a fun one, or does this game have a long way to go?

After numerous delays and a change in development teams, there are probably gamers who thought the next-gen revival of the Splatterhouse arcade series would never see the light of day. However, Namco-Bandai is apparently so confident that Splatterhouse will make its anticipated holiday season release date that they’ve been showing the pre-Alpha build to the press. The characters, locations, and buckets of blood are all throwbacks to the original that fans should appreciate, and the developers appear to be treating the franchise with respect and admiration for its origins.
