Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick

Product Information

There are two modes of play here, story mode and arcade mode, while the former is the chief bulk of the game, and the latter is kind of a “replay value” after thought. The polygon count for all the various models here is quite low, as you might expect, and it’s all fairly flatly textured, and as for pixel shading . . . forget it. Return to the main lobby. Facing the dinosaur's front, go up the left staircase, and follow the path to an Ice Age exhibit. You will start to hear the divining device bleeping at this point. As you get near the stuffed lion near the entrance to the next exhibit, the device will freak out. Use dynamite to blow a hole in the wall here and collect the blue crystal that is revealed. Move through the Volcanic Earth room to that of The Core. Use dynamite on the picture of the core to score a red crystal. In the watery exhibit room that's next, you'll find a vial that will boost your mana capacity. You'll also find the Summoner Spell and some dynamite. What a haul! While you’re going about your business, there are hordes of deadites to contend with, who serve to keep you busy while you are figuring out all the connections. Go down it. You will immediately be swarmed by a mob of Deadites. Lure them out into the exhibit room, so you have space to operate, and take them down. In a little nook at the bottom of the ramp is a Save Token. Grab it and head through the arched doorway. Continue through the next chamber, then follow the long set of stairs as it winds down to a banquet room. Move through and make your way to a dirt path that connects to a grand hall. Grab another Save Token at the center of the room. Then move up the curved staircase and step through the dark arched door to face the boss.

Enemy Mine: In The American Civil War era of Dearborn, Ash must convince the two opposing sides to unite their forces against the Deadite threat. When you get to the Dearborn police station, the yard where you need to go is surrounded by Deadites. You do not have to kill any of them. First, find the Spell Scroll that allows you to posses a Deadite for a limited amount of time,.This spell takes up three mana. Posses a Deadite, then run to the other side of the yard. You will find the Cypher and a envelope that you must take to the auto body shop. Note: The police Deadites will not recognize you as Ash, but the others will. Fans of the movies will get into the game simply because Bruce Campbell's constant dialogue infuses the action with enough personality to separate it from the other action titles. Straight-up action fans might get bored with the game halfway through, but after all, the game costs half as much.In the days leading up to his encounter with Kandar The Destroyer, Ash wore a small clip on his belt containing four extra shotgun shells. Prior to being "acquired" by Ash Williams, the shotgun was owned by Raymond Knowby, who presumably used it for hunting on the property which the Knowby Cabin was located. It is unknown if Raymond bought the gun new or second-hand. The voice overs from the various other players are done well enough, and there aren’t any real problems here. In terms of sound effects, you are catered for nicely with what you would come to expect, much gun fire and explosions which are complimented with a good deal of punch, incessant buzzing of chainsaws, and the following squeals from the things on the receiving end of your implements of death are also well realised. Demonic Possession: Deadites are once again possessing humans. This time around, Ash can possess them too with a right spell, complete with the famous Raimi-cam. Another good thing in the realm of sound is the music. It swells whenever a threat approaches, so the music (as in a horror film) is dynamic and actually helps the experience of the game. The melodies are straight out of a horror film (think frantic), and build the sense of urgency and danger.

One of the best things about the game is what Bruce Campbell brings to the games overall charm and character by providing the voice of Ash. He also did so for the previous Evil Dead game, but in that instance, provided a very subdued, unenthusiastic performance. This isn’t the case here, however, and he delivers the familiar style one-liners, quips and banter that have been scripted well in tune with the ‘Army of darkness’ movie in particular, and are brought to life with some genuine gumption and conviction by Campbell, as only he can. The game is based on the game engine of State of Emergency, with very similar gameplay. Essentially it's a free-roaming beat-em-up with 360 degree aiming gunplay. And the Adventure Continues: At the end, it's revealed that Ash is in feudal Japan after having botched the sealing spell after beating Trisha. The Evil then starts possessing the palace guards, leaving Ash to fight his way out.Interpolation = 4; Disable Effects Processing = No; Use the de-alias filter = No; Enable Dubug options = No; Module = 1; Synchronizing Mode = TimeStretch Mix; Audio Expansion Mode = Stereo ) Artistic License – History: Confederate troops never came anywhere near Michigan during the Civil War.
