The flashing lights feature is super cool, plus I love games based on movies. Technically, the gameplay is good--click to have a kid follow you and rush to the safe room, avoiding Meyers. If you come upon a knife, you can use that on Meyers. It has a great stalker/horror feel, but it gets old real quick. Plus, the mechanics of having the kids follow you is super clunky. Great sound, great setting and flashing lights, great concept--but can't claim I will play this again except to briefly show my brothers heh. Definitely a step up from the earlier Texas Chainsaw Massacre Atari game tho! Ha. Save a couple children, stab Meyers once, but then move on tbh.
