Having played through the Saturn version first, the Sony take has this awkward lack of recognition that happens way too often. Which brings me to the strangest problem of the game, specifically the PlayStation version – the control sucks. Providing full screen, mostly non-pixelated animations and smooth clip transitions, it’s a hoot to play when you aren’t dying a thousand times trying to figure out a 3-button sequence. The game is absolutely vibrant on the PlayStation, superior to the Saturn equivalent. There are roughly 7 or 8 main characters, with several minor ones poking around. Fritz has about 100 different ways to kill you, and the character designs are brilliant. That said, the animation still holds up fairly well after all this time. Even then, I still had to continue several times when I couldn’t figure out when I had to press which button. I actually used a guide to plow through the game after I kept getting stuck on the first room.

This can cause a lot of frustrations in several areas, since not every instance requires several rapid button presses right after another. You have to figure out what to press AND when to press it. Limited to just the 4 directions and an Action button, the challenge comes from the game’s lack of super-imposed visual clues. Like Dragon’s Lair, Brain Dead 13 is an animated Quick Time Event-based game where you simply watch a cartoon and press the required button at the right time. “…the perfect merger between interactive gaming and goofy cartoon antics!…” – Strategy Plus
