Splatterhouse/Heartwarming

• Rick will stop at nothing to save Jennifer. He will fight through an army of demons and zombies, kill enormous beasts with his bare hands and even storm the pits of hell to get her back.
• Your Mileage May Vary but this Troper rather liked the scenes in the Remake with Rick and Jennifer before the events of the game. May very possibly be because the rest of the game is more occupied with trying to paint the walls as red as possible.
• The Remake is a Meta example. The game could have very possibly been a lame brawler filled with copious amounts of gore with a few aesthetic features thrown in to cash in on a mildly popular retro series. But no, instead the game ends up being made almost 100% for the fans. There's enough continuity nods and mythology gags to make your head hurt, Ensemble Darkhorse Biggy Man is treated epicly just for the fans, and the game is good enough to stand on it's own to newcomers. The fact that the fanbase is comparatively small to over franchises just makes it all the sweeter...Alternatively, if your a fan of the original series and despise the remake, at least it comes with the original trilogy.
