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

well, it is Evil Dead, so that is cool, but if you are not a big Evil Dead fan you should pass on this one...only get it if you are a completist...

Horrible in the bad way

If you want to buy an Evil Dead game you sould buy Evil dead Fistful of Boomstick. This game is too hard, you die lots of times in a little time.

Ash?

the graphics are sandy, but they look good. The characters are modeled well. Bruce moves odd. His face blurs a bit. Deadites respawn a bit too fast. And boss battles often end up with melee combat. But its good. I like it. One of my Favorite movies made into a Resident evilish game with chainsaws and shotguns.

The story devolpes well. And i have nearly mastered the game. Its a bit difficult but all and all its okay.

Worse Control Function EVER!!!

I love the films, I think the game set up is great, familular and fun. I think the graphics are okay by PS standards, but...

The Control is AWFUL!!!

The came is set up like a keyboard game for PC, up, back and... spin??? Yes, left and right spin the Ash!!! You have to spin him, then press up for forward, spin, press up, spin, press up.

Walking left...? SPIN, PRESS UP!!!

Walking right...? SPIN, PRESS UP!!!

Want to fight???

Too bad, your behind a tree, a wall, a rock and can't see your self to... are you ready??? Spin, then press up...

Did they play it before they released it? I can't believe they did.

Love the movies, hate the game.

Buy Fistful of Boomstick! Still too hard a game, but it plays correctly and that matters alot.

Now, if they would just make a real game they might learn there's a real market out there.

First off, I'm Chrisanot and I'm actually thirteen. Anyway, I thought this game was certainly interesting. I guess you could call me an Evil Dead fan (though I've only seen Army of Darkness)and after reading the strategy guide at Best Buy I decided I must have it. when I brought it home and popped it into my PS2 I found out that it was insanely difficult. I found my self killed at my first deadite incounter. The controls take some getting used to, and being able to say a one liner at the push of a button was a surprise to me. One very usefull tip I have is read the instruction manual very thuroughly first(I didn't find out I could run until I was almost at disc 2). Also(I shouldn't have to tell this to fans of survival horror), don't use weapons or ammo as soon as you get it, save it up for disk 2 and bosses. Overall buy/rent this if you are a fan of survival horror, you want a good challenge, or you are just collecting stuff related to evil dead.

A Well Stuctured Game. A Nice Mix Of Comedy & Horror

"Evil Dead: Hail To The King" is a well structured game from the opening credits Ash (Bruce Campbell) goes through the story so far with some very impressive graphics to make his nightmares come to life on the screen. The story starts with a superb cinemactic scene where Ash and his new girlfriend Jenny go to the old cabin where all hell breaks lose. This is where Ash's quest begins.

The gameplay and graphics do have room for improvement, but the game has a black comedy/horror atmosphere to it and and at times sways between the two. The over the top gore, classic one-liners from Ash, nice puzzles and cinematic/cut-scenes. I feel add interest and comedy to the game. The surroundings within the game are very much what you see in the "Evil Dead" movies. This also adds interest. Overall a well done, stylistic, gory and at times just simply funny game.(With a little pinch of creepiness) makes this an excellent game that in many rises above itself. Also on top that I thought the cinemactic/cut-scenes where suberb for a PSone game.
