Dreamcast Critic Reviews

Control and camera issues, and the strange stop-n-go gameplay that Illbleed sports may be too annoying to make people want to endure the game's six levels. If you can get past those problems, then you may find something that is actually pretty enjoyable.

Illbleed scores major points for twisted originality, even if unfocused and clunky execution keeps it from turning horror on its gory, severed ear.

I can appreciate the effort that went into the unique gameplay mechanics of Illbleed, but the clumsy controls and frustrating camera angles, make this game pretty difficult to play.

The wacky control requirements kill any desire to play the game. If you have a lot of patience, and a weird sense of humor, you may get a kick out of Illbleed.

With its sluggish controls, odd collision detection problems, quirky gameplay mechanics, slow pace, and lousy camera angles, Illbleed may succeed at being an interesting idea but fails at transforming that idea into a worthwhile game.

Because its core play mechanics start to wear on you after even a few hours of playing, anything beyond a quick look makes little sense.

A weird hybrid product that is guaranteed to please some and alienate lots more.

B-Movie fans will enjoy the extreme gore and hilariously overwrought dialog, but those looking for genuine shocks will be sorely disappointed.

Jerky controls and lame graphics.

In the end, though, the lackluster graphics, frustrating gameplay and repetitive actions make it a slightly entertaining romp through a scary theme park, but not fun enough for us to recommend as one of the DC's best.
