Now Playing: Nightmare Creatures II

 Ugly, sloppy... and surprisingly fun.
That's one ugly mother...
 Nightmare Creatures II doesn't have the adrenaline meter, so it's already an improvement. It also looks fantastic, it's probably one of the best looking games on the Ps1, with fantastic 3-D environment and sharp 3-D models... even if the animation isn't quite up to par.

 I've finished the first level, and the game is fun in mysterious ways. Firstly, the difficulty is unfairly hard, with enemies being able to simply go through your attacks and land their own powerful grabs. It's also weird how Wallace, our hero, has a combat mode and an exploration mode, kinda like Spawn... and we all know how 'good' that game was.

 Combat is so janky, and the severing of limbs isn't as satisfying as the first game's, but there's a weird appeal to this game that makes me want to play it even more. It probably has to do with how well they crafted the atmosphere and monster design. Wallace design is no slouch either, he is an ugly mess... which makes it one of the most original playable characters out there!
