Most groovy game ever! [Posted on 2007-04-30]
The most marvelous game I have ever played in my whole entire life! Okay, so I'm a little teensy bit on the biased side, but still. I've forced it off on uber-gamer friends of mine, and they agree with me. The gaming platform is great, and once I re-oriented the key controls to something I was more familiar with, it became very easy to control. Basically, if you haven't seen 'The Evil Dead," or even better "Evil Dead II" and "Army of Darkness," this game will still be fun, but will make very little sense. Go, rent said movies, come back, buy this game. Also, if you have warm, fuzzy spots in your heart for Bruce Campbell and/or Ted Raimi, you will likely love this game, no matter what. Bascially, Ash, the "hero" from the Evil Dead series, has been placed into the Sunny Meadows Sanitarium for killing all his friends on a camping trip (it's okay though, they went bad). A great evil from the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead) has been reawakened, and the nasty doctor at the nut house is doing experiments with it; never good. Ash must break out of the Asylum, don his trusty Boomstick (sawed off Remmington shotgun) and chainsaw, and send the summoned hordes of the undead back where they came from. The action is pretty consistent throughout, and the gore level is on par with, say, Evil Dead II. Ash's sidekick, Sam, a deadite with a soul (experiment gone bad), aids in witty banter and also makes a great projectile. But hey, he's Ted Raimi, so don't treat him too badly. ;) The plot was consistently engaging, and the graphics are good. If the ending leaves a little something to be desired, so be it. My only true complaint about this game is that the targeting control for the PC version is tragically lousy. This is really only a problem with flying enemies and the final boss, and is not enough to detract from overall enjoyment, but if you have a short fuse, be warned...it'll drive you crazy sometimes. Again, since I loved the movie series, and the two main voice actors, I think the replayability is great, especially since violencing the undead is a great way to work out college paper-writing stress. The plot is static, though, so the story line won't change each time you play. On the other hand, you could challenge yourself by, say, trying to pick up all the extras, or by not picking up the life/mana bar upgrades. Basically, it's fun, and things explode, and Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi do what they do best. Go buy it. Really.

Better than Expected [Posted on 2007-05-23]
Having just watched Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness I decided to look up "Evil Dead" on IMDB, and found this gem.

Great storyline (almost Doom3-esque) decent gfx (which play smooth on anything faster than an Atari 5200) and awesome gameplay. Did I mention it stars Bruce "Ashly" Campbell? The only one-handed one-man wrecking crew with his trusty boomstick, chainsaw and a new Deadite friend named Sam who enjoys getting kicked around, literally. Along with a few new items you pick up along the way.

If you loved the Evil Dead series, buy this today. I mean c'mon for the price how can you lose?
If you love having fun and killing things, buy this today.
If you have $8 hiding somewhere (check those sofa cushions), buy this today.

EVIL DEAD AT IT'S BEST [Posted on 2007-06-08]
NICE GRAPHICS,EASY CONTROLS.ASH IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR SOME LAUGHS!AND ITS NICE TO HAVE SAM TO KICK AROUND TO GET YOU OUT OF A BAD MOOD.MINOR PROBLEMS AFTER INSTALL, KEY BOARD ISSUES. BUT THERES A PATCH THAT FIXES IT UP FINE.I RECOMEND IT TO ANY ONE WHO'S PLAYED PREVIOUS EVIL DEAD GAMES AND ANY ONE WHO HAS'NT.

Evil Dead 3: Regeneration - Honest Review [Posted on 2007-09-05]
I admit it, I love the classic franchise that is Evil Dead. I am also a lover of Bruce Campbell's work in general. Furthermore, I like video games. This game contains voice acting done by Bruce Campbell. These things alone, even individually, will sell something to me. I'm delighted with the game so far. At first, it took me a minute to figure out that my gamepad was asleep (it's wireless and does that) but once I got that hammered out I noticed I literally didn't have to adjust much to get my Logitech to work. In fact, all the things I like about PC games using gamepads are present. I get force feedback. I can manipulate the menus of the game with the pad. The physics engine seems good, the play control is excellent and the story seems to be progressing nicely. I have found it entertaining to listen to conversations Sam, (Ash's half deadite side kick) initiates at times, although it distracts for a few moments, the immediate solution of puzzles. As for the graphical options, the game looks great on my system at the settings I can choose and I find the blur effect option to be smashing . All in all, I'm happy with this game and I've only progressed into the second stage now before commenting on it.

Awful game [Posted on 2007-09-08]

The game looks pretty good and seems fun, but it crashed and locks continually. It has fairly severe problems with the keyboard locking and freezing Ash into place while he gets eaten by the zombies (or whatever they are). Getting the game to simply run is a task and the persistent control and graphics bugs quickly become tedious. The game feels like a bug-prone beta-test version of a good game.

Definitely one to avoid.
