Title: Evil Dead: A Fistful Of Boomstick
Post by: Mr_Vindictive on May 29, 2003, 11:56:22 AM
Wow!
Finally got this game in two days ago, after waiting two months while it was on preorder.  This game kicks all manners of ass, much better than it's PS1 predecesior.  Everything in this game is crisp and clean.  The gore in the game is gratutitous as are Bruce's lines: "I just love it when the body parts go flying.  It just so cool."

Great game, cheap price too.  You can find it for about 19.95

I haven't played it yet but it looks damn cool!

I just picked up "The Thing" for X-Box for $20 yesterday.

Cool game!

As of right now, I think it's only available on the PS2 and XBox.  Never know, might make it to the PC.

Unfortunately, most console to computer ports preserve all the negative aspects of console games, such as only being able to save at certain points, limited resolutions, much better support for game pads than the mouse/keyboard etc.

At least it sounds better than HAIL TO THE KING. That game sucked in the worst ways - endless enemies, crappy weapons and  a s**te story.

Enter The Matrix is pretty cool, since we're on the topic of movie/game crossovers. Anyone else notice that cheats for the game were on the billboards in The Matrix Reloaded?

I just picked this up the other day and I love it.  Much better than Hail to the King.  The fact that you can shoot behind you is ultra cool and so is the way Ash reloads the boomstick.  The spells are even great especially the Possess Deadite one.  However the best part of the game (besides the gore) are the one liners.  They are hilarious.  The best one is when the reporter asks if there was anything that she could do for him and Ash looks at her and says "Have you ever heard of a little film called Deep Throat?"
Priceless

I second the motion on this game rocks! I bought it the other day after waiting for so long for it to come out and I wasn't dissapointed. Love the fact that you can battle using both your hands at the same time and shoot over your shoulder like in AoD. Amazing. Its also cool how people you see on the streets get bitten and later come after you as zombies and stuff. I've only played the first bit but there seemed to be a lot of 'key-hunting' style puzzles. oh well its awesome!

I noticed you mentioned this game.

Is it any good?

I was thinking of picking it up but wanted to hear the opinions of others before I did so.

How about the new Wolverine game?  

Any good also?

Not quite the same, but go to;

 Game Rankings  (http://www.gamerankings.com)

Search on part of the name, it'll show you all the matches (all current systems), and when you click on the match you want, it'll give you links to all the sites that have reviewed it (don't bother with the Game Spot links, it's a pay site now).

Just wanted everyone to know that I'll keep this thread bumped in case anyone needs any help with the game.  I figure we could all help each other out.

My brother got me this game on Friday and now i'm on level 2, I must say it's funny than the last game, I mean it took me a while to get into the first game but the second game is funner and better. 5/5 But at least both games got Ash's personality right.

-the first rule of fat club-

yeah it definately has the ash flavour going for it.

Right now I have to find some steel or silver or whatever to close the vortexes. I haven't been playing it too much lately.

It's good, but a quick finish - in my younger years I could finish a game like that in 3 days. It took me 4.

Good rental, but I am a Matrix nut, so I picked it up anyway. The bullettime effects are really cool to watch but the action gets a little repetitive after a while.


How much  a a Matrix nut, you ask? Well, I am listening to the soundtrack as I post....so sad. But I can't deny the coolness!
