Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick

Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick is a very cool game. It's fun to play, with plenty of gore, groovy weapons and cool Deadites. You can run around the town, the park, the church and shops dismembering zombified citizens. The one liners from Bruce Campbell as Ash are very funny and he gives a performance so true to the Ash in the films. The graphics are very good in this game, the attention to detail in the gore and blood splatter for instance, is impressive. The spells are fun to use, especially the Possession one. The game play is average, took me a week to complete, but I disagree with reviews who have said the game was boring! The weapons were very cool and there are plenty the to choose from and have fun with, and the chainsaw was a fun tool to use against the zombies. I love Evil Dead! All the films and this game rock! I like this game!

First off if you haven't seen any of the "Evil Dead" films, it is an almost must before playing. I feel as if I am being harsh giving this game only 5 stars. Perhaps it's the fact the game is 4 or 5 years old. The game is short to start with and each level has pretty much the same layout with exceptions for a few. It wields a repetitive feel after about an hour of playing straight. Each level has you chasing objectives around a map, backtracking and making you feel as if you've done the objective a few times before. The humor is a little dry, but still clever at times allowing for a chuckle here and there. Accompanied by great voice acting by Bruce Campbell. The story is an average Evil Dead story should be nothing really that special. There's a total of three bosses in the game that are incredibly easy to defeat. The creppies in the game are cool but there isn't much of a variety. They range from deadites (Zombies in the Evil Dead Universe) and bigger bulkier troll like guys. Each with different sets of attacks and costumes for the deadites. The weapons and combat system is choppy but works nicely with the gameplay style. From shovels to gattling guns, Ash is armed to the bone with an arsenal large enough to stop a deadite army in it's tracks. I still feel the game lacks a few key elements, but don't get me wrong the game is pretty fun but I would only suggest it to fans of the series, like myself or survival horror fans. 5/10

This game brings all the Evil Dead fans hours of fun with deadites who have taken of Dearborn again...and again. With some cool moves and a bunch of new insults Ash takes on deadites in the past and present. He meets some relatives and some enemies and comes out victorious. This is a great game but see the movies first and you'll understand. 10/10.

I got this game sent from Amazon for me and it is the best video game I have ever played, BAR NONE. Bruce Campbell has some great dialogue as he storms his way through the Deadites with his spade, chainsaw and of course his trusty BOOMSTICK. This video game retails for about 19.99, SHOP SMART, S-SMART, YOU GOT THAT! So if any of you PRIMATIVE SCREWHEADS are fans of the EVIL DEAD trilogy save your money for this game.

This second game based on the "Evil Dead" franchise is decidedly better than the first game "Evil Dead: Hail to the King" in every way. The plot takes places after the first three films and has you (as Ash) battling the hordes of the undead after passages of the Book of the Dead are read aloud on a live local television show. The gameplay itself is very easy to get a hang off and while the game starts of a bit on the repetitive side, fans of the movie will still likely get a kick out of it. My main fault with it is that sadly the main bosses are easier to dispatch then some of the common enemies (who are not that tough except for the numbers in which they attack you). Oh yeah, and the game ending movie is one of the coolest I've seen in a while.

My Grade: B
