- TriviaTo avoid comparisons between hero Rick Taylor and 'Friday The 13th' villain Jason Voorhees, the design of the Terror Mask in this game has been changed to appear less like a hockey mask and more like a demon.
- Alternate versionsWhen Splatterhouse 3 was included as an unlockable bonus on Splatterhouse 2010, the cut scenes were altered to replace the original digitized actors with drawings, presumably due to rights issues.

Featured review
Stupid time limit...
This game was alright, but it could have been so much more; instead, it is pretty much just a beat em up. The house has several rooms, but forget looking around, gotta get to the boss before time expires to avoid a bad ending. This game would have been so much more fun if they had some exploration, maybe find items to help you progress, clues to get find the boss and other such innovations, but no, beat em up and find the quickest route...to be fair, it is still pretty good though.
The story, Rick is now married with a son. Unfortunately, evil is once again creeping up on them and their very own mansion becomes a Splatterhouse! Rick must once again don the mask and fight hordes of monsters leaving many of us to wonder, how did Rick and Jennifer get a mansion and did they really need a three floored home for just the three of them?
The game play has you basically going from room to room fighting terrible monstrosities and trying to beat the time limit so you can save Jennifer and the son. Though I was confused as it said Jennifer was dead well before the time expired; however, she appeared at the end so I guess she survived. The game could have used a bit more style in places as there is a boss fight with a teddy bear that was cool...wish there were more scenes like that throughout the game.
So, not great, but it was passable. It most certainly had the potential to be way better had they maybe added a few RPG elements. There were weapons here and there, but no shotgun, but the transformation was pretty cool. Not sure if I liked this one or the second one more. That one had more weapons, but at least this one did not feature a super hard final boss fight.
