If you loved Army of darkness,you will love this game. Ash is just as funny in the game as he was in the movie. The game picks up from where the movie left. Ash must save his new girlfriend and must again travel back in time. This game is a lot of fun, but best of all it is a two disc game. Which means a lot more fun.

Good Game, but experienced gamers may be dissapointed

Just got the game. I have to tell you that as a die hard Ash fan, it is awesome. The prelude tells the story like both ED2 and Army of Darkness with floating pages of the Necronomican and Bruce Campbell's naration. It is certainly very funny and well-done and will appeal to fans of the series.

The game play, however, seems a little clunky. I thought it was going to be a first person shooter game, ala Doom, but it is more cinematic and from a third person (director) perspective, which makes it hard to control. Sometimes you walk in one side of an area, and you are walking a different direction when you leave. That is really my only complaint.

There are problems to solve, and the graphics are very nice. Ash can be made to say such Ashisms as "Come Get Some," "Groovy," and "Yo." Apparently you hear more as the game progresses.

Still can't get into the Delta 88 and haven't found my boomstick, but I'm trying. I can easily recomend this game to fans of the series, but more experienced gamers might find it limited. Me, I'm happy.

"Who wants some?"

What a thud

Not only does this game an injustice to the film series, but it's an insult to todays games. Clearly they slapped a license on a box and gameplay was an afterthought... at best.

Heartbreaking.

Hail to the King Baby!

THIS GAME RULES!!!!!!The only problem was that i had a Voodoo2 3d accelerator, but my parents bought me a Voodoo3, so it all worked out! And let me just say that if you dont like the Resident Evil control style, well than this game isnt for you, but i love Resident Evil (even the control style). So to sum it all up, THIS GAME RULES!ALL HAIL KING ASH!!!!!!

If you love "Evil Dead" or video games you will HATE this!

Way to blow a sure thing THQ. I think this game was made in 1988 because it sure plays like it. Worst camera angles ever. In the very beganing of the game when I first got out of the cabin I found myself fighting things behind trees. It sounded like a good battle but who knows since all I could see were branches. The creatures regenerate so many times I thought it might be a glitch in the game. You fight the exact same creatures over and over and over again. When you retrace your steps you have to fight the same monsters even if you just beat them for the tenth time in the exact same spot. If this game was released under a different title nobody would ever by it. Go get the Elite "Evil Dead" DVD instead if you want fun fast paced gore or play checkers against yourself for 8 hours in a row for a fun faced paced game that can really hold your attention span... well when compared to the "Evil Dead" game anyway. Not even a rental option. Yes it has blood and yes it is the "Evil Dead" but if you watched 7 seconds of the movie rewound and watched the same seconds again for an hour it also would get stale. That is the "evil Dead" game, repeating the same stuff forever.

WEAK, WEAK, ...

One word sums this game up. WEAK!

disgrace to the trilogy. can't map keys to a controler? Stiff 3D Ash,Can't save the game when you want. I have had more fun using the ash model in quake 3, it is more realistic and not a stiff board, and why diddn't they have the Bruce do voiceovers where you have text written at certain points in the game? Someone sold the license for a quick buck and made a ... game WEll they have my money now. As a die hard Evil dead fan this was dissapointing.

Sweeeeeeeet....

For all the Evil Dead Fanatics it's a welcome return. The gameplay is interesting but touchy. Once you get control it doesn't take long to complete the game! The game has many interesting characters but they are easily beaten, so enjoy the return of ASH.

Not a great game, but not a bad one either.

If you are an Evil Dead fan, or Resident Evil fan, you will probably enjoy this game. But be prepared, because you will CONSTANTLY be fighting off enemies, other than that the game is pretty much cut and dry, except for a few puzzles of course. Anyway, I enjoyed it and hope you will too.

Hail To the Mediocre

When I first heard about this game, I couldn't wait to get it. Now that I own it, I feel like going skeet shooting with the discs.

The movie aspects of the game are really cool, but thats about it. Ash is extremely difficult to control. Weapon selection is very limited. The graphics look like something from the mid 90s and the number of deadites become annoying after about five minutes.

I can't believe Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi actually allowed themselves to be associated with this [game]. If you've never seen the Evil Dead Trilogy, do yourself a favor and watch it, just stay clear of Hail To the King.

BTW, I gave this one star, but seriously, it's really not even that good.
