Evil Dead: Hail to the King

"*Insert your favorite Ash quote here*"

First off, let me say the more of an Evil Dead or Bruce Campbell fan you are, then the more fun you will get out of this game. A lot of you say that this game is a Resident Evil rip-off. Well, it is not people. The movies were out way before Resident Evil was even thought of. All Resident Evil did was help get the Survivor Horror games popular. Sure the movement and style is similar, but a lot of different games are like this. Trust me, get out and buy this game.

Game Play: (10/10) I just love this game. Based off of the great horror Evil Dead trilogy. One thing people dislike about this game is that monsters tend to respawn within a few seconds after you kill it. Well let me comment on that, those people who say that are people who play Resident Evil games and are spoiled by how easy it is.

Story: (10/10) The story in this game is just great. This is basically an Evil Dead 4 to us fans of the trilogy. You take the role of Ash, the hero of the movies, and you are with your girl friend when you go out to the cabin. Well things go wrong and you are out on a search for her.

Sound: (10/10) What would Evil Dead be with out Bruce Campbell? Don't even think about it. Since you don't have to worry about it. Bruce Campbell is the voice of Ash! Even his old one-liners are in this game. Even with some new ones not from Army of Darkness.

Controls: (10/10) I still fail to see what is so wrong with these controls. I got used to them within two minutes. But basically, you should be able to learn these within 10-15 minutes.

Graphics: (10/10) The graphics on this game is really great. It is even cool when the blood drips off of your chainsaw after killing a Deadite!

Replay Value: (9/10) this is the only thing that I know should be improved on this game. I still play it all the time even after I beat it again and again. But after you beat it, you don't get anything but the great feeling in you that you defeated this great game.

Overall: (10/10) Even though I gave it a nine for replay, it still rounds up to a ten.

To buy or rent? It is a definite buy! Unless you are afraid...
