Wipe another off the list, boy-o. 

Check it out - it’s an Ash chin.

My first experience with this game was less than stellar. But with some driver updates and a little time to cool my heels I was ready to come back.

 First off - if there’s one thing this game is….its nice and easy. Not easy as in “they’re shooting flowers at me,” but just very well portioned out. Its easy to learn, easy to digest.  Save points are predictibly spaced, health & power ups frequent, and successful tactics are not exceedingly complex.  

They evidently knew what they were bringing to the table and kept “on message’ when they designed the levels in Evil Dead: Regeneration.  There are ten unique environments, each with their own gimmick. You start in a mental ward, go thru swamps, a cemetary, a harbor and finally, another dimenson - to name a few. After the first 2 levels you get the hang of what needs to be done: find three things to unlock the way to the next level, not too hard and none of the tasks are frustrating.

 If it sounds boring, well - its because I haven’t mentioned the best parts of the game. They are, in no particular order:  1) voice acting (superb)  2) the gags  3) the variety of weapons & corresponding ways to dispatch your enemies with them. To be clear - graphics are definately not the strong point, but thats okay by me. As long as I can go on a Barry Bonds roid rage and look like this…

…i’m happy.

 This game is chock full of Boss monsters and neat tricks to splatter their companions’ bits around the screen. In addition - there’s a nifty little sidekick you can control (even possess sometimes), use to solve puzzles (you can kick his arse around like Pele) and kill if he gets too annoying. For example - I had to find a way to light a torch I couldn’t reach with my flame thrower. Cue Sam the dwarf……

   Ready

Burn!

 The game was quick and at the end I was yelling for more destruction, much like the nasty bastard below. If you’d like to see what the fuss is all about - I’d pick up a copy of this game…you could spend 9 bucks (what i got it for at EB) on a lot worse.

They always go kicking and screaming….
