Before this review, I'd like to thank Caddicarus for introducing this to everyone (He's on youtube, not this site). Without him, I would have never played this.
Nightmare creatures is a action hack/slash/shoot on the N64 and the Playstaion and boy, is it underrated. The thing is, this was made by Kalisto Entertainment. The same guys who made the game based on The Fifth Element which was a HORRIBLE mess. Which is a bad sign.
GRAPHICS-9 For the N64 and the PlayStation, this looks great! The landscape sticks to the Gothic horror theme, the violence looks, well, violent and the only problem is, the PlayStation port has everybody's favorite thing about the PlayStation: FMV. But the FMV can't look too bad, right? Compared to something like the first Tekken? But we're talking about the N64 port. And also, I haven't encountered moments where textures got mixed with other things.
SOUND-8 The monsters sounds and looks, big or small, make them more of a threat and even the monster itself. Guns sound powerful and the sound effects get you blown away (especially gun sounds.)!
ADDICTIVENESS-10 I come back playing a lot of times, you can't deny that! The game puts you as either Ignatius Backward (possibly the best name of all time) or Nadius Franciscus against Adam Crowley, an alchemist and leader of the Brotherhood of Hectate. This game is loads of fun to play, Ignatius cuts zombies in half WITH A STICK! You have some of the best uses of the guns, the combat is just perfect (starts off clunky but GET USED TO IT YOU TWAT!).
STORY:7 This game is set in the year, 1834, where monster sightings occur all over the place, but please, blame that on Adam Crowley. Ignatius receives a letter which turns out to be the lost diary from Samuel Pepys, containing research from the Brotherhood. It turns out it's been renowned by Dr. Jean Franciscus who shows up with his daughter Nadius. Jean gets murdered and well, Adam must be stopped, I guess. Pretty good story, but most of the time, I'm not about that.
DEPTH-9 This game gives you so much! The combat consists of triple kicks, Spreading bullets from two triple-barrelled revolver's all over the place, knocking a zombie's head off with a Bo staff and having some of the most badass equipment!
DIFFICULTY-7 This game's bets pretty hard at times. Especially when some giant......blue....thing comes in and they just have a contest on who blocks the most (no need to worry, it happens in fighting games as well) so yeah.....it's pretty hard.
Overall, this gets my score 9.3 out of 10 Oh, and it doesn't work well on this sight so I recommend getting on Project 64 or something. But it'd seem like a very bad sign seeming it was made by the same people that made The Fifth Element on the PlayStation, one of the worst games of all time.
