  We'd probably all be better off if this game was never made!!!
  
  Okay. The big thing with me is the game is a "What-if?" scenario. "What-if" Ash never went back in time, "Army of Darkness" never would have happened, and instead Ash was arrested and put in a mental institution. This is like saying, "What if Marty never went back to the 1950's in "Back to the Future" part 1, but instead helped Doc fight terrorists. Guess what? If Marty never went back it would suck and there would be no point to continue a story in that direction. It would be horrible. Just like this game.
  
  Yeah, the controls and gameplay aren't horrible. I was in the woods in broad daylight in one level, and I'm like,"Umm, this isn't that entertaining or scary..." The levels are kind of cool, but nothing to flip out about. Ash also has a harpoon for an arm as an optional weapon. Just stick to the chainsaw people! Now it's just getting fruity with all the weapons, like the flamethrower, blood sucking piece of crap thing that doesn't really work, and probably the dumbest weapon ?MACHINE GUN? A lot of those weapons were from "Fistful of Boomstick." But this game just helps keep a horrible tradition going. Also, some of the enemies are dumb. Like the flying ones, the big fat thing Sam rides on, and the ones that look like the grim reaper. Totally out of place. And there's one part where Ash has to defend Sam against the flying guys and that part sucked. I had to redo it because a lot of my shots went through a certain enemy at a certain point. Yes, one good film franchise is being gutted and stuffed with fruity elements of Today's all too horrible video games when it gets adapted to the video game medium! Stupid enemies, stupid weapons, (This is based on the "Evil Dead" film franchise people, stick to the things that made the film franchise so great!) and stupid characters you don't care about i.e. Sam.
  
  When someone was on drugs they thought it would be a good idea to give Ash a sidekick who is more humorless and annoying than helpful. Sam and Ash bust on each other for practically ever minute of every second in this game and it's supposed to be hilarious. It gets very annoying after awhile. Just shut up and get along.
  
  But the biggest thorn in my side is the ending. It's pure crap. The biggest jip you'll ever get in life.

  Best Evil Dead Game so far
  
  Anyone who is a fan of the evid dead trilogy will love this game. Even if you didn't like the movies, check out the game anyway. The previous games based on evil dead were so-so. This game is much better. Same story line and characters, but add a half deadite side kick. The voice of your side kick is raimi himself. The back and forth banter between him and ash is great. Bruce actually put a little effort into the voic overs in this game. A lot of great one liners. Overall fun game, you won't be dissapointed.

  an big let down
  
  when I first turned on Regeneration and saw the graphics I was very impressed and thought this was going to be a step forward from Fistful of Boomstick. Some of the scenery was done very well. But unfortunately, they seemed to have spent so much time making the game look good, they forgot to make actual play equally as exciting.
  Regeneration starts off in the cabin in the woods. It was good to be back there and I was excited to see they brought the story line back to the creepy cabin. But just as you're getting into it, that level is quickly over. It was more like an intro. So you then find yourself in a mental institution that became possessed and over run with deadites. Perfect! what more could you ask for that a creepy hospital building? well, again, before you know it the level is over and you're out of there. Having not done much at all. The line of travel is mostly limited to one hallway. you never get to search out and find hidden areas and objects. No challenging puzzles or objects to find and later use someplace else like in "Boomstick". It's very simplistic and quickly over. what a let down. This seems to happen throughout the game. Although I will admit as the game went further on, it did improve slightly. But it just wasn't challenging. The game constantly tells you what to do and never lets you figure things out on your own. You walk near an elevator, the triangle icon appears on screen and tells you to push the button. Never letting you figure anything out on your own. There are so many cinematic cut scenes that you're constantly watching the game like a movie and waiting to actually play. There aren't as many interesting weapons to pick up as you go along either. Some of the execution cut scenes are cool when killing deadites, but over all, I was let down by the lack of challenge of this game. The Sam character ( voiced terribly by Ted Raimi ) is just horrible and makes game play annoying at times. Picture Scrappy Doo doing a Joe Pesci imitation. But so completely typical and over the top. Just not funny at all. When you're controlling Sam in certain scenes, the music that comes on is just silly cartoonish music that doesn't fit with the scary theme of the game at all. Almost points out how stupid and unfitting the character is in this game. I love the Evil Dead movies and enjoy Bruce Campbells character and voice over a lot. But believe it or not, the earlier, more simplistic looking "Fistful Of Boomstick" was much more enjoyable. Hopefully they'll make some major improvements to actual game play the next time they take a shot at the Evil Dead series. And take a lesson from terrible characters like Scrappy Doo and Jar Jar Binks. Don't bother. Skip them entirely.

  Darn good time
  
  This is a good game and if you're into the Evil Dead series it's a great game. As a series that's found its continuation in video games as opposed to film this is a solid next step plot wise. The introduction of Sam the deadite is fantastic. The banter and antics between Ash and Sam are fantastic and vintage Evil Dead material. A must for the fan of the series. For those unfamiliar with the series, it stands on its own and makes for a good time regardless.

  It's good enough
  
  Yah this is the best Evil Dead game yet. The graphics/Ash are done up in a slight-cartoonish way so it's not "realistic" but it really works. I thought I'd hate the whole deadite-sidekick thing, but it was actualy fun and funny. Gameplay is tight, controls are fine, it's fun to play and you get different upgrades with Ash's guns/chainsaws. Lotta levels, nothing too difficult. You can unlock secret videos that show Bruce talking about the game, etc - those are fun to see. Not a bad game and I recommend it to any fan of ASH.
  
  Now, where's my chainsaw??
