Evil Dead:Hail to the King

Groovy. I love those movies!!! I have been a fan of the Evil Dead Trilogy for years. I just can't get enough of Ash's attitude and humor. Now after 7 years of waiting, "Army of Darkness" has a sequel. Although it will never make it to the silver screen, it's just peachy having it on my PSOne. This game is great, not only do you meet characters from past movies and other new ones, you also get to strap on the good ol' chainsaw. Another cool thing, unlike other games lately, you can save and replay the FMV's on your computer with PSmPlayer. The intro is great, Ash's rendering is pretty good at the beginning (he's got the whole eyebrow thing going on), but after that, it all goes to pot, his lips don't even move! My biggest problem was it was too short; I spent maybe 8 hours on it, and it's a two disk game. Gameplay is reminiscent of Resident Evil, but sometimes you can get confused. The all-time coolest thing in this game is the taunt button. This button allows Ash (voiced by Bruce Campbell) to taunt the enemy using new hysterical one-liners. At times this causes the enemy to run away. Here's a sample, "What's that? Oh your mamma's callin' ya." Other than all the bad things, it stays true to the Evil Dead experience. In my opinion would be enjoyed more by an Evil Dead fan than a survival horror gamer. So, if you're a lover of the Evil Dead then, "Come get some."

I give "Evil Dead: Hail to the King" 7 out of 10 evil, living, severed hands
