Check this out. I thought this game was more entertaining than ENTER THE MATRIX. I played this game for 2 hours and I was hooked. As far as I know the only flaw so far is that ASH kinda moves slow. I mean they can't add the ability to run faster on this game like STATE OF EMERGENCY. Oh well, VIS Entertainment has given us a great, cheap and fun HACK 'n' SLASH game with puzzle solving, spells and gore. BRUCE CAMPELL does the voice of ASH of course. The story actually is not bad if you're familiar with the EVIL DEAD movies. I can't wait to finish the game and get the whole story in. The story is when ASH gets drunk at a bar, then watches TV and sees a show where some guy is lecturing about the BOOK OF THE NECRONOMICON. Then they play that stupid tape that ressurects the dead and a city is infested with zombies and DEADITES. So ASH to the rescue ;). Anyways, yes it's like STATE OF EMERGENCY except with a plot, and ASH does niffy things with the BOOM-STICK (shoots behind his back and to the side like ARMY OF DARKNESS) and has a desent combat system. HAVE FUN

If you are an Evil Dead fan just buy this game. With a [modest] price you get the campy horror, amusing one-liners and entertaining game play. Bruce Campbell is back as the voice of Ash, and he is obviously having fun with it. The game makers and Bruce put a lot of effort into pleasing the fans. This is just a fun game for Evil Dead fans and I couldnýt be any more pleased with my purchase

Good value game

I was a little apprehensive about buying this game even for its low price after all the poor critical reviews the previous Evil Dead games received. But thankfully, this is a solid, even without being anything groundbreaking, survival horror game.

You basically run around killing hundreds of deadites, who you can thin out but never entirely wipe out in an area, with shovels, your chainsaw and all sorts of firearms including your trusty boomstick. And along with these weapons you learn spells ( the possess deadite spell has a cool effect to it ). And there are a few puzzles to solve and big boss deadites to kill along the way.

The control is good, the story is humorous and moves along at a good pace, and there are enough deadites swarming you to make the game challenging. The only downside I have found so far is that when you die, especially before fighting a boss, there is dialog that you will have to sit and listen to that you can't fast forward through, making some encouters repetitive and boring.

I recommend this game to any horror / action game fan, it is a quality, good value game.

I love it........

All I can say is the Bruce Campbell voice overs are worth the price. The graphics are ok....the story is fun but short. The way it links to the films is awesome,instead of using an old story line. But all in all the price can't be beat,I'm still trying to figure that one out. Add this to your collection if your an Evil Dead/Bruce Campbell fan like me. The guy at the store that I bought it from said he hoped it was good...cause of the price. I said I didn't care.....he said thats what everyone else said who bought one, lol......I got the last one.

Well worth [the price]

I had low to medium expectations for this title, considering how much fun the first Evil Dead game wasn't, and how shallow State of Emergency turned out to be. And yet, when I saw it on the shelf, I had to give it the benefit of the doubt, for Ash's sake. And I'm so glad I did. The story, unlike the last game, is new and well-written, and not a rehash of the movies. Ash acts and sounds like Ash, and Bruce Cambell is as funny as ever (take that how you will, depending on your assessment of Bruce). The combat, which is relentless, is splatter-filled fun, as it should be. You might get killed at first (like most magazine reviewers seem to be, hence the bratty reviews) but once you get in the groove it's more fun than it has a right to be for such a bargain price. Tons of unlockables, too - artwork and multiple "arcade mode" variations for each level in the story you complete. If you're a fan of the movies, slapstick carnage (remember Loaded?) or battlefield-zoneout games (Dynasty Warriors series) you should definitely give this a chance.

An insult to fans and gamers alike...

This game seems a shameless attempt to squeeze a few nickels out of what amounts to little more than a recognizable name on a really lame product. First, lets look at the basic structure of the game, which consists of unending waves of zombies that amount to brief pauses amid a very tired and formulaic puzzle after puzzle format. You get sent after one object after another. Each problem requires little thought, but lots of running around as you get sent back and forth across each board. The zombies you fight are more of a nuisance than anything else, unless a big group of them amasses around you, in which case it is virtually impossible not to die. Next, there is the save system, which is set up so that you have to acquire tokens in order to save. Saving becomes a tiresome process, but when you neglect to do it, there is no default point for you to restart, so you end up having to repeat all the annoyingly complex object acquisition that you have already done. What's sad is that the game could have been good. A little more atmosphere, a little less linear development, and a little attention to story would have gone a long way.

Groovy

Evil Dead Fistful of Boomstick is one of the best games i have played in a long time. It is a perfect game for an older audience. It is probably one of the best voice over games. all you do is run around and slice up Deadites. I am a long Time fan of the movies. You owe it to yourself to pick up this game its great.

Provides way more than [the] price tag!

Ya know how in Resident Evil-esque games you are in a city/town overtaken by zombies, well it's in this game! Ya know how in Resident Evil-esque games you have to find a key to unlock a door and both are usually on opposite ends of the map? Well, it's in this game. Ya know how in Resident Evil-esque games you have to run from the zombies because you just don't have the ammo or health to stand and fight? Not in this game, baby! Plenty of ammo to blast the ugly offa them deadites...and if ya run outta ammo, whomp 'em upside the head with a shovel, or better yet IMPALE 'em with your "handy" chainsaw. Yeah, it ain't pretty...but it's hella fun...and somebody's gotta do it!!! This game basically runs off the State of Emergency engine, you run around completing tasks and progressing in story mode all the while leaving behind a bloody mess.

Graphics = B- (lots of greys and greens, plenty of red but by no means shows off the system's abilities.)

Sound = A+ (chainsaws, gunshots, shovel bonks and plenty of Bruce Campbell ATTITUDE!)

Gameplay = B (a little repetitive, but if you are a fan of Evil Dead or zombie killing it's a fun ride)

Overall = Fans of the movie will eat this up and for [the price] it's decent enough for others to kill a few hours killing a few deadites. I think it's a great tension reliever and adds a new chapter to the mythos. Two thumbs way up!!!
