I bought this game after the controversy that spilled over it that casted those nasty video game ratings. I purchased this for the Sega CD 32X (combine them together), unknowingly at the time when I bought this game I didn't realize at the time that this was the game that had got so much talk along with MK and caused it to be pulled from the retail shelves years earlier. Well now for my review I want to set the record straight, this game in no way contains sex, profanity, or extreme violence, despite the naysayer that love spreading those rumors and lies about this game, if you actually played this game you would realize this game is far from what it was black marked as. The other commenter here that reviewed this game mentioned it had blood. Now, I'm not sure what that reviewer meant by that, I assure you there's no animated blood in this game, there's no one getting shot, stabbed or mangled and blood comes squirting out everywhere on scream. This game is a live action movie. But there are scenes where one of the house guest in the game finds blood zipped lock in a storage bag in a refrigerator, and scenes if you screw up and fail to protect some of the house guest in the game you might find some of the guest that getting they're blood drained from them with strange syringe tools used by the enemies in the game, its all acted out as a movie as what this game is slightly is and there's a bit of some bad acting at times, but again this video game is a live action interactive movie. The one noticeable actor in this game is child hood star, Dana Plato, if you remember her as Kimberly from Different Strokes she stars in this game. She's one of the undercover cops that's on your team and is your primary focus on protecting in the game. You are the Controller; you have access to hidden surveillance cameras in the house. Each surveillance camera in the house is in each room. Each room contains traps hidden on the wall and in the floor and you have control of them. Your purpose is to use the traps wisely and trap the augers. Basically, you're a security guard in game, I know pretty lame. The house is owned by the Victors and their two kids Sarah and Jeff, the family are actually vampires, and the daughter invites her unsuspecting normal friends over. You'll get the rest of the story when you play the game. Honestly this game IMO is a mere family game than the overrated controversy that people in the early 90s dogged this game to be. I wonder sometimes if part of the controversy stemmed from people being use to seeing a video game like Super Mario Bros. and not expect a game to be so real like this one was. But whatever the case it is, the hysteria that surrounds this game is nothing but political hype. This game was rated M when I got in 1995, and come to think of it I was still a kid then, LOL. Oh the irony. This is a good game to own, especially if you are a fan of Digital Pictures (company that made this game) and their live action video games they made. BTW, this game had a clone rip off of it too, called Double Switch and this game starred child famed actor Corey Haim. I have that game as well and the storyline thankfully isn't vampires like Night Trap, but more of a unique matrix style of baddies.
