Nightmare Creatures: for want of a word....."Spooky."

The game itself is huge,with 18 levels and 5 bosses to contend with.The look of the game is summed up in one word: spooky With planty of low ,transparent fog,and enough rats to make you jumpy,Nightmare Creatures certainly lives up to its gothic-sounding name.
An interesting aspect of Creatures lies in the charactures special moves and combinations of kicks and weapons attacks.Unlike most hack and slash titles where you keep repeating the same moves over and over,this one has different weapons combos for both Ignatius and Nadia. Knowlege of the combos is tantamount to completing each level,as they take off more damage than normal strikes.Control is fast and smooth, and although it does support analog, the control configuration(left or right rotates,forward or back moves) is such that it's easier to use the D-pad.
