Evil Dead: H.t.t.K is an average game. The controls are a little inconvenient, but this after all, a dreamcast tiltle. Graphics and story are fairly decent and there's alot of blood (not one for the kiddies). For the price it is a nice little pick-up to add to your dreamcast collection.

Worth the money

This game is better than I expected it to be compared to what everybody was saying about it. Don't worry about the grafics. The grafics are better than Resident Evil 2 and possibly 3. The controls soon become a second nature if you know the resident evil controls. And you can even walk around while you are swinging your weapons around. They even have some awsome detail in the backgrounds like in the hellbilly house they have chopped up body parts in barrels and hanging by meathooks on the walls. They have so many things in hear that remind you of the movie. They even have the broken bridge if you walk strait out from the house and search for it. If you like the movie or the resident evil games you will love this game. The only thing I had trouble with is the way you save.

Doesn't live up to the name of the Movie

Sure this is an Evil Dead game but whos kidding. This game isn't that great. Games based on movies usually suck But I gave this game a try(yes the Dreamcast version of course) and it wasn't all that gret.

The graphics are ok I guess. The controlls suck. Gameplay is dull otherwise if you love Evil Dead and want to try out the games steer clear away from this hunk of junk. It's your choice but trust me it's not worth the money. Crappy game.

I give this a 2 out of 5 stars...

This game has it all: It has horror, comedy, and suspense! It is resident evil but 5 times better! I cant wait till i can get Boomstick! The only downside is: IT HAS AN END! lol.... Bruces voice acting is AMAZING! Lines such as "Say hi to disco for me" are incredible!

Not worth it at any price

A very below-par game that spoils the memory of the movies.

Not the worst game in the world, but certainly not the best

When I heard about an Evil Dead video game, I didn't know what to think. Well, the game isn't real bad, but its not good at all either. First off, the characters are blocky and the animation stiff, the graphics look more 32 bit than 128 bit. Not to mention the constantly respawning enemies, they're good for a scare, but they keep the game frustrating, and the controls could have been done a lot better. However, here is where Evil Dead fans can rejoice: the great Bruce Campbell offers his voice bringing Ash to life, plus so much attention to detail has been paid to the environments; the cabin is straight out of Evil Dead 2, and the midevil stages look directly copied from Army of Darkness. All in all, this game could have been an all time classic if the controls and gameplay would have gotten as much attention as the detail of the game did, Evil Dead fans will have to play it either way, but those who don't like the Evil Dead universe won't dig the game.

A disappointment

What can I say? It's a Resident Evil [copy] that I got really frustrated playing. The controls [are bad] and even the Evil Dead references aren't enough. Avoid if you're not a big Evil Dead fan.

Best Movie to Game Translation Ever

The man, the myth, the legend : Bruce Campbell. In a video game. It's a fanboys dream. His voice has appeared in some playstation classics such as Broken Helix and Pitfall 3D, but never in his much immitated role as Ash from the Evil Dead movies. So this game is a godsend, right ?

Well, not entirely. THQ has surely shown it's love for the series of movies. Overall, if it's in the movies, it's in the game. Everything from the dead girlfriend to the disembodied hand are covered in it. THQ knew that as long as the fans got what they wanted to see, they would buy it. They even went so far as to add a one-liner button so you could hear Bruce Campbell's funny catchphrases as many times as you want.

The first half of the game covers the first two movies. Ash takes a trip back to the hut to see if all he had been through was just a dream. It doesn't take long until a turn of events causes the tape with the reading of the necronomicon to be played and the dead rise again. Starting with Ash's trademark chainsaw arm and an axe in the other, you set off to stop the evil again. The second half of the game takes place after you are transported back to the medieval age to wreak a little more havok on the plans of the undead. It even ends with a famous twist like the previous Sam Raimi movies.

The gameplay really takes the game away from the mainstream gamers and leaves this to only the fans of the movies. Overall, it's just the control scheme from the earlier Resident Evil games, except the difficulty is unreasonably high. You can tote two weapons, one on each hand, and do some creative combos - all 3 of them , really. Upgrades to the chainsaw are aquired a few times during the game, even turning it into a hacksaw. But, the difficult part is that whenever you are in a fight, 90% of the time it's a hand to hand brawl, so you are always guaranteed to get bashed. You are constantly using health packs after every fight. And the creatures are constantly respawning, so even though the health packs are in great quantity, fighting a monster more than twice ends up sucking up inventory and health.

Overall, this game is great for fans of the movie, but gamers just looking for a good resident evil clone should just keep looking.

If you like the Evil Dead series and survival horror RPGs, than you will probably enjoy this vid game. The first part of the game, this is after the beginning cut scenes and the rummaging around the creepy cabin, I found was getting increasingly annoying. There are just so many deadites to battle against, and they all look alike. The best strategy is to run around them if you can help it and get the items you need to get to the next part of the game. Only battle and kill deadites if you need to increase health and get more ammo for your pistol. It's harder to get away from the skeletons, because they usually run after you. It's best to use your chainsaw on them. Chainsaw fuel is limited, but you can gather the red mushrooms that appear on the road and convert them to fuel. The gray mushrooms, when converted, can be used to restore health. After the first part of roaming around in the woods battling or running away from an endless amount of deadites, the game gets more interesting and fun. After he gathers five Necronomican pages, roughly translated...the Book Of The Dead pages, Ash is hurled back in time to the Middle ages where he has to battle the evil Ash, who is now more powerful than he was in the movie "Army Of Darkness". I took away one star mainly for the beginning part, but everything else, especially Bruce Campbell was awesome. This game I believe is part 4 of The Evil Dead series. Get this game...Hail to the king baby!
