Come get some

When Professor Knowby's tape is played by a professor and a reporter the deadites return and take over Dearborn Michigan.

Ash (Bruce Campbell) now must once again defeat the deadites.

You start off in Dearborn then you head to colonial Dearborn, then the civil war era of Dearborn then a post apocalypse Dearborn.

Some people complained the first Evil Dead game was too hard.

Well this one is much harder. I was stuck several times, but once you get moving the game moves really fast.

Tons of gore and plenty of great one liners from Ash.

The graphics are better in this one then the last.

The deadites all look better and the movie parts look better.

You have some cool new weapons plus a book of spells, which you will need through out the game.

A Fistful of Boomstick took me just under a week to beat.

And the ending totally rocks.

Who knew The Evil Dead would be this popular today?

2 awesome sequels and i guess you could count the video games as sequels so that's 2 more.

As Bruce Campbell said this is the next best thing to a movie.

Also on the game is a making of video, which features Bruce Campbell.

If you're an Evil Dead fan you will like this game, at times you might get annoyed when you get stuck but when things are moving it's really fun.

Evil Dead: Hail to the King was a great game but this one gets a slight edge.

I give Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick 8/10
