  • Summary: Ash is back, baby! Fully "armed" with his chainsaw, trusty boomstick, and trademark quips, Ash must once again save Dearborn from the unspeakable horrors spawned from The Book of the Dead. When ambitious journalist Trisha Pettywood and occult author Alex Eldrige team up to try to expose the mystery of famed Professor Knowby's murder, they unwittingly open a Vortex to the undead. As the deadites swarm through Dearborn they turn humans into the undead and the town is quickly overrun. Now, with Dearborn in chaos and citizens begging for help, Ash must hack and slash his way through the streets and figure out how to close the Vortex. Ash is soon to learn that all is not what it seems?those he trusts may be plotting against him and the history of Dearborn might be irrevocably changed. [THQ]… Expand

    The game is supposed to be pure action and loads of fun, and Fistfull of Boomstick certainly delivers.

    Successfully capturing the spirit of the movie and its hero, Ash, it's one of the better budget titles we've played in quite a long time. [July 2003, p.28]

    It's just too little, too late. The formula in Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick remains virtually unchanged from "State of Emergency," and the new weapons and spells and license do little to disguise that the game is just a slightly improved version of its predecessor.

    I'm not a big gamer, but I am a BIG fan of Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead. This game knocked my socks off. The bloodletting and gore are fantastic and the one liners hilarious. There are plenty of combo moves and the story is engaging. How can you not enjoy hacking deadites to bits with a chainsaw ("I just love it when the parts go flying everywhere"). I have NEVER paid attention to critics and the "professional" reviews I have read about this game reinforces that tendency. Go out and get this game NOW!!… Expand
