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 soon learns that all is not what it seems--those he trusts may be plotting against him, and the history of Dearborn might be irrevocably changed.… Expand

    This is only a $20 game, so I’m perfectly happy seeing a game that’s got repetitive gameplay and slightly off visuals, especially when the game designers went out of their way to make Evil Dead fans happy. ‘Nuf said, play on.

    A fun little romp with plenty of gratuitous violence, witty one-liners, and hilarious cutscenes.

    A weak game with some good features; namely, the combo system and the fact that it sells for only 20 bucks. Yep, 20 bucks. However, waves of meaningless enemies, stupid objectives and a very limited shelf life make it quite evil indeed.

    To be honest, the game was better than I expected it would be. I still can't say I enjoyed it. Crappy control, lame visuals, repetitive gameplay...everything you'd expect from a movie license game. If you're a fan of the movies, it may hold your attention, but if you're just looking for a good beat 'em up, go buy Hunter:The Reckoning.… Expand
