This game is simply an awesome and smart survival horror parody, despite of graphics

It's clunky, it's awkward to control, it didn't age well, and it has weird mechanics but despite this - Illbleed is quite possibly one of the best sleeper cult games ever made. Just not for it's play control. You won't fall in love with Illbleed because of it's gameplay or boss fights, the story in all it's quirky ridiculousness is where Illbleed truly shines. The whole game is a parody of American horror taken to an extreme, littered with pop culture references of the time - including a guest appearance by everyone's favorite hedgehog. Grab this one if you are a fan of quirky, strange humor and can tolerate the poor play control.

It's really interesting and underrated game in spite of clumsy fighting system. Every level brings something new and unexpected. Spooky, really crazy atmosphere, unique mechanics and lot's of black humour makes Illbleed pure classic of survival horror.

This was meant to be a cheesy horror game. It accomplished That. It's fun, and very different. It's a different take on survival horror for sure. It's also my most expensive Dreamcast game. It's quirky, and fun to play, and to watch someone play. It's a must have, if you want to laugh, and jump a little. If Scream were a video game it should be done like this.

This is without any doubt the worst horror game I have ever played. First of all its graphics are awful, Silent Hill 2 was launched the same year and it is like a hundred times neater than this game. Even Resident Evil: Code Veronica, launched one year earlier in the same console was highly better in graphics. It is not scary at all, most of their scares are repetitive and less than funny. The stage design along with the playability are as bad as the whole, rooms are repeated constantly and they are poorly designed. Fights are far from being frightening, they are tedious and they completely feel unnecessary. Even worst is the whole senses experience, which only consist in avoiding or not, lots of annoying "scares". Only good thing I can point out is the fact that it was not launched in Europe.
