 
Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The number eight
game could be considered a horror in two ways:
for the video game's apparent dark storyline and
also its possessively, devilishly, bad
game-play issues. These "issues" make
the game more like a ghastly scream to win and a
generally huge frustration thanks to the poorly
constructed control scheme.

You should already
know the story by now (you really don't need an
English major), but I'll humor you and refresh
your memory. A mad doctor invents a strange
potion, then drinks the potion that transforms
him into a monster-like creature called Mr. Hyde
and now the doc is granted special powers. Caught
the mistake in my description? The last part can
only be done in the game, of course. Onward to
the gaming adventures! The biggest fright of the
game has to be the unbearingly horrendous play.
(Did I accomplish making that sound really,
really bad? ..Good.) If you want blood-cuddling
terror, as a gamer, check out the leader of the
pack: Dr. J & Mr. H.
Some side
effects from playing for longer than 30-minute
intervals are as follows: uncontrollable anger,
violent frustration, sudden monsterous instincts,
and blood-thirsty split-personalities. Consult a
doctor if played more than an hour for
professional advice.
