I remember buying this real cheap new for our now defunct XBox 360 and I really want to play it. The thing about this game is that most of the other versions have technical issues and most of the fans agree the 360 version is the most stable one and the most recommended if you want to play it.
The graphics looked low tech but it was so surreal. So many weird and funny things amidst the horror, it was really amazing. Most people miss the quirks since they focus on the main game but part of the fascination was examining the strange details in the background. For example, you check into this empty hotel owned by a weird granny and the hotel is huge but completely empty. It's pretty creepy but completely explorable. I tried to explore as much of it as I could even though it wasn't part of the main game but the fact that it's there made me suspect maybe there's some kind of hidden horror in it.
Every house had a window that you can peep into it. You would see a FPV of the house's interior and there are a ton of windows to peek in. 99% of the time, all you'd see is an empty...almost creepy room. But one time, I did see something...and it was that one view that helped me figure out who the culprit was before the game revealed it. It was just blind luck and I'm amazed I just stumbled into it by looking into the right window and at the right time.
Late at night if you go into the town, monsters will appear in the road. One of them was a giant terrifying monster dog with huge red eyes that can destroy you and your car and it seems to be the most powerful thing in the whole game. I actually went hunting at night just to kill that dog and i succeeded after several attempts. And...this isn't even part of the main game. It's optional and just another hidden quirk of the game that you could explore if you choose to.
This isn't a port of the Saturn version. It's a remix with no slowdown, the versus mode can admit 12 characters instead of 4, new remix mechanics...new difficulty...I really prefer this over the original Saturn one. One of the best beat-em-ups with fighting game mechanics. Best thing about this game, everything you encounter is playable in versus mode. It's funny creating a match where the townspeople goes against the final boss.
