About Splatterhouse 2
Three months have gone by since the events of the first game. The Terror Mask, which has reformed after breaking at the climax of the first game, appears to Rick and repeatedly tempts him to "go back to the house", telling him that Jennifer "doesn't have to die". It closes by telling Rick "You need me.". Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer, and the House sinks into the bottom of the river.

A gory side-scrolling brawler and one of the very priciest US carts, with cheaper European and Japanese alternatives.
Splatterhouse 2 is a horror beat-'em-up from Now Production, published by Namco, and the sequel to the 1988 arcade game Splatterhouse. It came out in North America in July 1992, in Japan on 4 August 1992 as Splatterhouse Part 2 and in Europe on 7 October 1992.
Sega Pro's review put it a close second to Taz-Mania among the Mega Drive games reviewed that issue.

“If you missed out on the fun of the original Splatterhouse, don’t miss out on Splatterhouse 2. It’s a bit on the gooey side, but don’t let that bother you.”
“All in all, though, Splatterhouse 2 comes off as little more than a repeat performance, more of the same hack-and-slash that was featured in its predecessor.”
“Eight stages of blood-thirsty and totally tasteless graphics, combined with egualiv sadistic music.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
Before you buy
Among US carts it is one of the very priciest. The European cart usually costs much less than the US one, and the Japanese Splatterhouse Part 2 cart usually costs less loose and about the same complete, with a different cartridge shape. At this price ask for a photo of the board, and treat a flat Western-style shell with a notch as a warning sign.
