Evil Dead: Regeneration

I'm a huge fan of the Evil Dead movies, but I'd never got around to playing the games, mostly due to the fact that I used to be more of a Gamecube kind of guy. So when I finally did get a PS2, this was the first game I bought, and I loved it. Nobody is cooler than Bruce Campbell as Ash, throwing one liners and bad jokes like they were confetti. His newly added sidekick is somewhat amusing, but gets annoying fast. The gameplay is very repetitive, but still pretty fun. The bosses aren't very hard, but they look awesome and have some cool attacks. The ending left me disappointed, but to avoid spoilers I wont go into why. Overall it's a pretty fun game. It has it's flaws, but fun and not too challenging.

In most ways this third game based on the "Evil Dead" saga works better than the second one, 2003's "Fistful of Boomstick". It has much more variety (I loved the previous film, but come on just being in the town of Dearbourne the whole game did seem a tad repetitive), the controls are a tad more intuitive, the bosses tougher (not by much, but the bosses in "FOB" WERE insanely easy) and the inclusion of Ted Raimi as Sam a deadite midget on the side of good that you can torture unmercifully is a stroke of genius. But, on the other hand, there was the ending (don't worry, I won't spoil it), but suffice it to say, for those of you that saw the ultra-cool ending of "Fistful of Boomstick" that the ending to this one (which granted would suck regardless if you beat the previous game or not) was all the more bad. In "FOB" the ending made you feel like you accomplished something, I just didn't get that feeling when I beat this one. And that shaded my viewing of the entire game somewhat. But "Regeneration" is still a very worthy game to be added to the Evil Dead mythos. Plus you can't go wrong at a price tag of merely 20 bucks. I really can't wait for the Evil Dead games for the next generation consoles (360, PS3)

My Grade: B

Rated M for Strong Violence,Blood,Gore and Some Language.

The most recent game I got was Evil Dead Regeneration which was about a week ago.This is the newest game in the Evil Dead series of games which were based on the films.I have never seen the films.This game is not bad.Its pretty fun especially when you have the little midget sidekick named Ssam who you can kick around.He also makes funny comments.At first the game is pretty hard especially when you have hoards of zombies coming at you but after you get Sam it gets easier.This game is a horror/action game with comedy.Bruce Campbell who was ash in the movies is the voice of ash in the game and he has really funny one-liners.So does Sam Ash's half deadite sidekick.The game is about a man who must kill all the zombies.Evil Dead Regeneration is an alright game but I suggest buying it at a cheap price.

7/10

Well I've played almost all the Evil Dead games and have to say this one has a great action level,(love the combos with the Chainsaw) but I didn't really care for the other weapons, they really should of added more weapons. although very short the storyline was good, didn't really like the fact that it is a "What If?" game but I got over it. Sam was especially fun to play as. although it got really repetitive, also they could of gave Sam more weapons. Ash was funny but he couldn't speak on command like in the other two games. so every new addition adds but takes away as well. I did not like the ending (AT ALL!) but everything else was awesome!...If your an Evil Dead fan you will enjoy this game. Oh yeah the end level is a fresh idea they added to the series. so over all good game could of been better.

After two bad Evil Dead games, it's a breath of fresh air to have a good one.

The graphics and controls are great. It's strange that you have unlimited ammo. (Not that I'm complaining.) The cut scenes are fun, and I'm not a big cut scene fan, but if you're an Evil Dead fan, you're in for a treat.

The comedy and horror elements work really well. This is both funny and scary. Something the last two games lacked.

The levels are great and Sam is a great character to play when Ash possesses him. The music is also very good. The best part is when Ash turns evil and we hear that great heavy metal music rocking out.

Everything that was bad about the first two games has been corrected. The developers really took their time with this game.

If you're an Evil Dead fan, you won't be disappointed.
