Video Game Reviews of Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick
Customer Review: Ash should shut up!
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, practically everyone in existence hated "Evil Dead: Hail to the King" I actually liked that game because it provided more of a sense of horror compared to this game. For example, in "Hail to the King" -you run around in the woods alone at night, walk through cellars, grave yards and battle deadite bosses. Also, Ash is more of a tough guy in "Hail to the King." He says some pretty radical things, too. It gives you the feeling that he's the Ash from the end of "Army of Darkness" and that this game could've been made into a fourth Evil Dead. I know Ash's character was never supposed to become a leader of men, according to the creators of EVIL DEAD, but Ash is a lot more likable that way.
Now don't get me wrong, for twenty bucks, this game does a good job. It gives you the feeling that your in a neighborhood that has become overrun with deadites. But it gets a tad bit repetitive running around on the city streets. Also, How come there are no blocks or streets and this town is just a bunch of windy turns with porno shops and hardware stores everywhere? Basically every level in the game has you do the following: A) Run around and shoot stuff and B)Run around and collect stuff. But that's not the worst part.
1) All the bosses have the same cartoonish look to them that reminds me more of Slimer from "Ghostbusters" as opposed to an actual deadite. Not scary and you all battle them in really stupid unrealistic ways. Like using a shovel to deflect energy balls. Um, how about you hit it with your chainsaw and then shoot it death? That would actually make for interesting gameplay considering the amount of space you can run around in.
2) The ending. Ugh, what a piece of crap ending. Ash says some really REALLY dumb joke (It makes the chicken crossing the road joke look like Chris Rock's stand up) and it leaves no opening for a sequel, or a sequel that you would want anyway. Evil dead in feudal (Place not in United States, I don't want to ruin it). Umm... Let me think...No, thanks!
3) Ash is such an ugly loser in this game. (Both design wise and as an overall video game character) He says like 5 funny/cool things in the games cutscenes and the rest of the time he just keeps saying REALLY stupid things that aren't funny and then he follows it up with 6 other sentences that aren't funny or entertaining. He should have said less throughout the game.
Overall, this was a good game. The amount of new weapons was awesome. It did get repetitive but there are some bonus levels to play to test your skill that you unlock through out the game. So this game could keep you busy for awhile. The music in this game is okay, but the "Hail to the King" theme was AMAZING. This theme. Bland. Bland. And lastly. Bland. All considering, it was better than "Evil Dead: Regeneration." Thanks for reading.
