Even worse, Nightmare Creatures 2 feels like a rehash of the first game. The game tries to wow you with dangling chains, creaking doors, and countless ugly creatures, but the constant appearance of these elements ruins their thrill value. While Nightmare Creatures 2 is oozing with creepiness, the molasses-slow plot and haphazard character development compound the boredom brought on by recycled enemies and environments.īeating a dead horse is no fun, but repetition is truly this game's undoing. Some will be quick to call this replay value, but unlike comparable titles in the genre, there's no plot pacing with which to support this claim.

It will take you ten minutes running at full speed before you reach the first save spot, and it will be a good 30 to 40 minutes before you reach the initial boss. Run down the hallway, up a ladder, and down a skylight, and make use of a few keys, and you'll find yourself outside the first asylum level in. Unfortunately, the game has plodding levels right along with the poor control and repetitious foes. Furthermore, since these encounters are inescapable, frustration and repetition quickly lead to exasperation. For each of the 28 possible enemies you encounter, from hulking demons to supple she-beasts, you need only find the appropriate combination of attacks with which to vanquish them. The unforgiving control might be acceptable if the game had diversity in battle, but even that aspect is deficient. Battle after battle, you'll flail wildly on the attack buttons and watch in frustration as you helplessly find yourself on the receiving end of a demon sandwich. Unfortunately, after this initial encounter, you realize just how nonresponsive and stunting the game's fighting system is. With a few taps of the square, triangle, and X buttons, you slash him to ribbons. Using your trusty axe, you break out of your room and seek to escape the retched asylum. As the mentally embittered Wallace, you must fight these monsters, rescue your beloved Rachel, and traverse nine lengthy locales in search of the final confrontation with Crowley. Crowley, the antagonist from the original Nightmare Creatures, is back to his old tricks, unleashing monstrous creatures on the London populace. You, as Wallace, are a captive in Adam Crowley's genetics hospital.
