Splatterhouse 2, known in Japan as Splatterhouse Part 2 (スプラッターハウス PART2), is a Sega Mega Drive horror beat-'em-up game developed by Now Production and published by Namco. The game is a direct sequel to the 1988 Namco arcade game Splatterhouse. It was first released in the United States in July 1992 and released in Japan the following month. This game and its sequel, Splatterhouse 3, were developed specifically for the Sega Mega Drive, and were not ported to any contemporary platforms of the day.

Story

Three months have gone by since the events of the first game. Rick is still suffering from his guilt of being unable to save Jennifer and has been plagued by nightmares of her and the Terror Mask, which reformed after breaking at the climax of the first game. Suddenly, the mask reappears to Rick and tempts him to find the house, telling him that Jennifer can be saved. It closes by telling Rick that it will give him power. Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer, and the House sinks into the bottom of the river.

Gameplay

The game is a horror-themed beat-'em-up. The player controls Rick, who fights through several eerie environments filled with grotesque monsters. Rick walks with and and crouches with . In the Japanese release, he jumps with and attacks with or . In the overseas releases, he jumps with or and jumps with . He can attack while crouching or jumping. He can slide kick, which attacks enemies in his path, by jumping and holding or (in the direction of the slide) with the attack button as he hits the ground. Rick can find various weapons scattered throughout the levels, including a pipe, an oar, a chainsaw, and a shotgun. He can pick a weapon up off the ground with or from the background with .

Rick's health is indicated by hearts on the bottom of the screen. He loses a heart when he takes damage from an enemy and loses a life when he runs out of hearts. The Japanese version has a limited number of continues for when the player runs out of lives; the overseas versions have a password system. There are three selectable difficulty levels (called Normal, Difficult, and Very Difficult in the Japanese release and Normal, Difficult, and Game Master in the overseas releases). The Japanese release starts with two lives and five hearts in Normal, three in Difficult, and one in Very Difficult. The overseas release game starts with three lives and four hearts in the Normal difficulty, three in Difficult, and two in Game Master.

+'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known in Japan as '''''Splatterhouse Part 2''''' (スプラッターハウス PART2), is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] horror beat-'em-up game developed by [[Now Production]] and published by [[Namco]]. The game is a direct sequel to the 1988 [[Namco]] arcade game ''[[wikipedia:Splatterhouse|Splatterhouse]]''.
+It was first released in the United States in July 1992 and released in Japan the following month. This game and its sequel, ''[[Splatterhouse 3]]'', were developed specifically for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], and were not ported to any contemporary platforms of the day.
+==Story==
+Three months have gone by since the events of the first game. Rick is still suffering from his guilt of being unable to save Jennifer and has been plagued by nightmares of her and the Terror Mask, which reformed after breaking at the climax of the first game. Suddenly, the mask reappears to Rick and tempts him to find the house, telling him that Jennifer can be saved. It closes by telling Rick that it will give him power. Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer, and the House sinks into the bottom of the river.
+==Gameplay==
+The game is a horror-themed beat-'em-up. The player controls Rick, who fights through several eerie environments filled with grotesque monsters. Rick walks with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. In the Japanese release, he jumps with {{B}} and attacks with {{A}} or {{C}}. In the overseas releases, he jumps with {{A}} or {{C}} and jumps with {{B}}. He can attack while crouching or jumping. He can slide kick, which attacks enemies in his path, by jumping and holding {{downleft}} or {{downright}} (in the direction of the slide) with the attack button as he hits the ground. Rick can find various weapons scattered throughout the levels, including a pipe, an oar, a chainsaw, and a shotgun. He can pick a weapon up off the ground with {{down}} or from the background with {{up}}.
+Rick's health is indicated by hearts on the bottom of the screen. He loses a heart when he takes damage from an enemy and loses a life when he runs out of hearts. The Japanese version has a limited number of continues for when the player runs out of lives; the overseas versions have a password system. There are three selectable difficulty levels (called Normal, Difficult, and Very Difficult in the Japanese release and Normal, Difficult, and Game Master in the overseas releases). The Japanese release starts with two lives and five hearts in Normal, three in Difficult, and one in Very Difficult. The overseas release game starts with three lives and four hearts in the Normal difficulty, three in Difficult, and two in Game Master.
