Planet Dreamcast
Control and camera issues, and the strange stop-n-go gameplay that Illbleed sports may be too annoying to make people want to endure the game's six levels. If you can get past those problems, then you may find something that is actually pretty enjoyable.

Illbleed scores major points for twisted originality, even if unfocused and clunky execution keeps it from turning horror on its gory, severed ear.

I can appreciate the effort that went into the unique gameplay mechanics of Illbleed, but the clumsy controls and frustrating camera angles, make this game pretty difficult to play.
Read Full Review >GameShark
The wacky control requirements kill any desire to play the game. If you have a lot of patience, and a weird sense of humor, you may get a kick out of Illbleed.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Because its core play mechanics start to wear on you after even a few hours of playing, anything beyond a quick look makes little sense.

A weird hybrid product that is guaranteed to please some and alienate lots more.
Read Full Review >AllDreamcast
With its sluggish controls, odd collision detection problems, quirky gameplay mechanics, slow pace, and lousy camera angles, Illbleed may succeed at being an interesting idea but fails at transforming that idea into a worthwhile game.
Core Magazine
B-Movie fans will enjoy the extreme gore and hilariously overwrought dialog, but those looking for genuine shocks will be sorely disappointed.

In the end, though, the lackluster graphics, frustrating gameplay and repetitive actions make it a slightly entertaining romp through a scary theme park, but not fun enough for us to recommend as one of the DC's best.

With all the great stuff found in this game all u can do is love it. The special ending is one of the weirdest and most suprising i've seen on any game console, a must get!!!

This is one of the best DC games, forget about the control problems this is a gem. I can think of no better way to pass the time than to run for my life in a place filled with many many disturbing traps. Where else can you find a plot point to be your giving a child a seizure just so that he maybe buried alive and you the hero can go to hell to make love to a sex doll. Pure genius. The monsters are worthwhile, the story is excellent when you play the game correctly and yes if you like Evil Dead 1-3, Evil Dead Trap, Childs Play and Friday the 13 or what ever b movie of choice then you will definitely love Illbleed. It put the fun back in Brutal murder.
Ænima gave it a 5:
Yea, it's intersting but all the blank searching around with no idea what and where to find stuff. In order to play the game even you have to find the horror monitor, if you don't you're dead. The controlls are sub-par, jumping running everthing is too much work. It's not the worst I guess so I gave it a fair score.

Put the kids to sleep! This game will make you crazy!
James V. gave it a 10:
At first I thought this game was kinda dull but when you get addicted to it then it really turns out to be a lot of fun and in some places it is actually quite scary.
Falcon S. gave it a 10:
The most underrated game EVER. Most sites only played through the first level and reviewed it. Just play for about 2 hours and beat the first level and you will fall in LOVE with the game... and plus... Naked Eriko (*Drool*).
