Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick = Greatness

This game is definitly one of the best games I've ever played. The controls are good, the fighting is great, the weapons are kick ..., the environments/scenarios, Bruce Campbell's lines, etc. are all just so great. Sure, the game is a little short, but it's still worth it, and I don't know about other people but after beating the game, all I wanted to do was play it again and again. Plus, the game has "extra" stuff which are good, such as galleries, a Bonus "Making of..." movie/video, and also 5 different arcade games for each level. Taking the price into consideration too, this game is a must-have.

Note: If you know the movies, you'll appreciate this game even more.

GET THIS GAME!!!!

Bruce Campbell is back as Ash...again. The graphics are much better then last evil dead game, and the controller are way easier to handle. There are however some minor issues. First is apparently Ash has lost weight. Somehow in his off season Ash lost about 15 pounds. Now I'm not saying Bruce is a fat guy, but certainly not thin, so the Ash models don't look exactly like him, more like his younger, thinner brother. Second the game engine had a a brain fart and I got stuck in the game for about an hour. You need dynomite to clear out the club and for some reason the engine forgot to drop dynomite. So I spent about an hour going through the entire map looking for some type of clue until I finally went online for a walkthrough. Lastly although the game is low priced, it's a rather short game. Apparently PS2 games have to be under 8 hours of game play. I beat this game in under a week. What happened to the FF7 days when you could never beat a game?

Not bad! I would compare this game to Buffy for the XBox - only the fighting here is much more haphazard and non-stop.
I wasn't too keen on the re-spawning enemies at first, but I think that's what the makers of the game were going for - non-stop zombie action, and they did it perfectly.
The fighting is blazingly fast and for that I love it - you'll never say to yourself "Gee if only my guy moved faster I wouldn't have died right there." Ash moves so quick it's great - nail the guy in front of you twice with the shovel then blast the one to your left with the boomstick before doing a behind the head shot right to the deadite behind you: AMAZING.
The graphics are great, the control is great, gameplay is solid. For 20 bucks- you'll never do better!

My only wish is that Ash's face was well, MORE like ash - I think lately Bruce has gained weight and grown a mustache (for a movie part maybe?) and so they couldn't do a scan of his face and use that for the game. But he looks enough like Ash and the quality of the game is so high so who cares right?

classic

Anyone who likes simple old school arcade games should get this and if you're a fna of th evil dead movies it's an absolute necessity. Ash says stuff like "nice complexion...for a freak" and it has lots of non stop zombie slaughter action. The only reason why i dont give it five stars is because it sometimes seems ompossible to figure out how to accomplish th objectives you're given. This may sem like a major flaw, but if you keep trying things you'll figure it out. good graphics, tond of action.

Strategy guide recommended!

I have only had this game for two weeks and have not gotten very far into the game. If you like to play your games on your own, you'll enjoy this game, although sometimes objectives can be quite difficult to complete. I like to play these types of games with a strategy guide by my side, but I have yet to locate even a trace of one! Consequently, I am stuck at a particular point early in the game! However, the graphics, actions and especially Bruce's, (I mean Ash's), sarchastic dialog make this a fun time! I recommend you buy this one! Enjoy!

Blood sweat and chainsaw!

Much improved from the earlier "hail to the king", "Fistful Of Boomstick" really got my appetite for destruction going and left me wanting more. You get to travel over differen't time periods of the town and see what the dead would have done to them. Awesome weapons and great enemies to kill. There is humor in it as a review said below. If you dont' talk to all characters you are totally missing out. 3d environment, great controls. Only annoying thing is that the one liners repeat too often on the one liner button. They removed this feature on "regeneration" I think it was in good taste.

Typical macho Campbell at his best. I loved this game. You get a whole lotta' game for your price. Don't miss it. Great Ending and story... and did i mention the deadites rule?
