Any fan of Sam Rami & Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead movie series will love playing this game!!
You get to see what it's like to have the crap beaten out of you by evil deadites...but even better, you learn to fight back and say great Ash one liners. The story line is good, the dark humor is fantastic, and you soon get addicted.
My only negative is it could of been harder (fighting boss creatures at different levels). But this is a must for anyone who love the movie "Army of Darkness"! Hey- by the movie here on the website!
Good for some but not others

My cousin actually gave me this game and when he did I was like all right another horror game yay! I thought this game would be fun but I was completely wrong.
The graphics are good and so is the music. The controls aren't to confusing but you honestly can't beat this game. Its very difficult. I tried to get some where in it 3 times but I finally gave up after the monsters kept killing my person.
If you're one of those people who love really difficult games that are hard to get any where in then this game is for you. But if you're one of those people who would at least like to get some where in the game this probably isn't the game for you.
Over all good graphics and music. Just to difficult to beat.
best evil dead game ever!

let me start off by saying that i am very upset that this game got canceled on ps2- why???? ok i loved this game when it first came out, now i just got it again after playing all the other ps2 evil dead games and this is by far the best. the game takes the movies and puts its own twist on it, my favorite part is when you leave the house and you find a shovel and o there is your undead girfriend who just came out of her grave, then you kill her with the shovel just like in the movie!!! awsome. now i dont mind the controls or any of that i am so in love with how authentic this game is, in the secound cd you go back in time(just like the movies) and fight some medevil dedites. ok im not going to go to much further but bruce's voice is buck. if you like evil dead get this game the others for ps2 are ok but like i said this is pretty much exactly like the movies with its own twist.
Disappointing

The first foray of the cult Evil Dead horror movie series into video games began here with Evil Dead: Hail to the King. Using the Resident Evil formula of pre-rendered backgrounds with 3-D animated characters, Evil Dead suffers from poor polygon designs, clunky controls, and the same "find the key to open the door" type gameplay we've seen in games like the Resident Evil series and Alone in the Dark. Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell lends his voice to Ash and breathes some life into this otherwise dismal game, but the terrible control layout and configuration really bring this game down. The Dreamcast version was a bit better with improved graphic and sound quality, but all in all Evil Dead: Hail to the King is worth checking out for fans of the Evil Dead series or survival horror games only.
Evil Dead makes you evil mad... But it's worth it.

The most annoying thing about this game is that Ash, your hereo, has to find his own fuel for the chainsaw. Other than that and the unusual angles that the camera views abstract, the game is great. Unfortunately it reminds me of the days of genesis control functions where going up a hill made your character look strange on the screen but, it's evil dead! If you're a fan, you'd love it. I have to give the game one thumb up.... not bad for a begining.
Just look at the impovements since on the siblings, "fist full of boomstick" and "regeneration"
well, its Evil Dead
