Ok. I'm a shmuck. Worse than a fake Shemp, as it were.

I mean, if I want to get really technical here, I could tell you that I was one of those poor morons that went out and paid 50 bucks on the day Hail to the King came out, and screamed my vocal cords bloody as Ash's chainsaw ran out of gas YET AGAIN....that game was cheat code city, the controls were irritating to the first degree....

And so, I traded it. It was like having my hand chopped off and having it go bad; I mean...I've watched Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness countless times. WHAT WAS I DOING WRONG???? Blind, drooling fandom was not an issue here.

And now, here comes the shame. I passed up on Fistful of Boomstick. Dodged it like a Japanese jet pilot.

And then, Regeneration seemed to go along with everything I had previously feared. It was RELEASED at 20 bucks. Not exactly a promising beginning.

But then, something happened. It began to sell out everywhere in town. On a whim, I picked up the last copy I could find. Why not give it a whirl?

Let me tell you this. It is as if Sam, Bruce and the Evil Dead boys somehow were allowed to take their vision of what a video game should be like and do it; then pass the savings onto us. This is without a doubt, the best Evil Dead video game I have seen yet. And Bruce gets to rip on Sam Raimi by having the half deadite sidekick, who literally gets the crap kicked out of him in the game, to be named "Sam"....which is made all the more hilarious by having little brother Ted Raimi do the vocals.

You get a good idea of the gameplay from the other reviews, but the concept of doing the over the shoulder shotgun blast is well worth the 20 bucks you'll throw down for this game.

HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!!!!!!!!!

Ash Lives!

THQ's Evil Dead games have taken alot of flack from know it all video game nerds. Granted, the first game, Evil Dead:Hail to the King (For the PS1), had somewhat awkward controls, and the chainsaw was always running out of gas, and the guns out of ammo. Add to this the re-spawnig feature of the deadites, which forced you to kill each one several times, and the whining reached a fever pitch.But it really wasn't all that bad. Though admittedly, Evil Dead:A Fistful of Boomstick for the PS2 was a big improvement. Better controls, unlimited gas for the chainsaw, and a nice targeting system for the shotgun. A good storyline, good graphics, and more great voice-acting from the great Bruce Campbell made the second Evil Dead game a blast for longtime fans, though the gaming dorks still bashed it.Now, we have Evil Dead:Regeneration, and I'm sure there will be some whining and moaning about this one, too, though I can't imagine why. The gameplay for Regeneration is rock solid. There are all sorts of cool combat moves you can perform with Ash, though my personal favorite is the "beat down" where you just spank a downed enemy with your chainsaw until there's nothing left but pulp.Ash and his sidekick Sam (voiced by Ted Raimi) must travel through a series of portals, and close them before the evil can corrupt the Earth, yadda...yadda... Typical video game plot. Nothing exceptional, but that's not the point. The point here is in the mayhem. Finally, the boys at THQ have given us not only unlimited chainsaw fuel, but unlimited ammo for all weapons (handgun, shotgun, rocketlauncher, flamethrower). Freed from having to pause in the middle of combat to switch guns (that does really get tiresome), Ash is free to hack and slash his way through waves of deadites. The unlimited ammo thing was a good decision. Having to constantly find ammo for your guns adds nothing but tedium to a game. "Realism" be hanged. We just wanna rock and roll! Puzzles this time are few, flashing indicators guide you through most of the levels, with some very humorous cinematics in-between. Bruce and Ted outdo themselves here, providing hilarious banter not only in the cinematics, but also throughout the course of the game. The spirit of Army of Darkness comfortably resides here.Then there's "Bad Ash". After you gain the ability to summon Ash's evil counterpart (as seen in Evil Dead 2), you can "hulk out" into Bad Ash for a limited amount of time, depending on the status of your "rage meter". Suffice to say, this kicks major [...].All in all, Evil Dead:Regeneration is a slick package. Not too hard (I finished it in four days, and I wasn't exactly gluing myself to the controller), and not too expensive at [...] brand new.I'm sure the hardcore video gamers will find something to complain about, but that's their problem. I'm just glad to have Ash back, if even in video game form. THQ has done a great service to fans everywhere who would rather have an Evil Dead 4 than a Spider-Man 3 from Sam Raimi, but are denied by the finiancial realities of the movie biz.Maybe someday. But in the meantime, Ash Lives! At THQ.

Best 'Evil Dead' Game Yet!

This realease is far and away the best game based on the 'Evil Dead' series. There's nothing new as far as gameplay and story are concerned but it's much more polished than 'A Fistful of Boomstick' and any fans of the franchise will surely have a good time. Here's hoping for a great follow up!

wow

This is the best Evil Dead game i had ever played, i play fist full of boomstick and compared to this is 10 times better. You have unlimited bullets on each of the weapons you have and you get a harpoon gun for you right hand, its like being scorpion from Mortal Kombat, except when they come back to you,you shoot them with your boomstick which is so cool. You get sam which is Ash's little deadlite partner, you can kick him as many times you want too. The Missions are not as hard as in boomstick which took me a month to pass, in fact they easy in some levels that are too easy. This game is best series of any other Evil Dead games i ever played.

Killer action game!!!

This game is the the best Evil Dead yet. I've played both of the others and struggled through them just because I'm a big fan of the subject material. The first one was horrible, the second one was better but this one is by far the best. I guess the third time is the charm. The humor in this game is dead (no pun intended) on with the series and one of the main reasons I fell in love with the Evil Dead trilogy. If you're a fan of Evil Dead or Bruce Campbell you owe it to yourself to pick this game up. We may never see Bruce in the role of Ash again on the silver screen, so this may be the only way us "deadites" can get our fix and I'll take it!

Best Evil Dead Game so far

Anyone who is a fan of the evid dead trilogy will love this game. Even if you didn't like the movies, check out the game anyway. The previous games based on evil dead were so-so. This game is much better. Same story line and characters, but add a half deadite side kick. The voice of your side kick is raimi himself. The back and forth banter between him and ash is great. Bruce actually put a little effort into the voic overs in this game. A lot of great one liners. Overall fun game, you won't be dissapointed.
