Evil Dead: Hail to the King

"The game is, at it's best, not fun; at it's worst, it is a frustrating example of why licensed games suck. Hopefully, the series will one day have a reasonable final chapter to close it out."

"...turns out to be just another wanna-be Resident Evil game that falls short on all fronts. From the gameplay to the graphics to the control, it's not even worth a rental..."

"The storyline for THQ's new PlayStation game, Evil Dead: Hail to the King (formerly Evil Dead: Ashes 2 Ashes), takes place about eight years after Army of Darkness and is not based on the original ending of Army of Darkness."

"If THQ continues to create games based on this license, there's at least hope that the next will turn out better, but this first effort is far from encouraging."

This is a game for fans only, and even then, playing can be a labor of love. But for the true believer, it's all worthwhile when Ash cranks up his trusty chainsaw and lets loose with a hearty, "Yo, tree bitch. Let's go."
