PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

The game is supposed to be pure action and loads of fun, and Fistfull of Boomstick certainly delivers.

It does excel at what the movies do best: making mass bloodletting entertaining as hell, and at a handy $20 pricepoint. [June 2003, p.105]

If you’re a fan of the movies, don’t own Evil Dead 2 on DVD, and you’re not expecting too much from this amusing but shallow game, then shop smart, shop S-mart. Groovy.

A fun little romp with plenty of gratuitous violence, witty one-liners, and hilarious cutscenes.

A decent little suprise. The price is right and the game doesn't suck... It works well as the only constant is Ash, voiced by the droll and often hilarious Bruce Campbell who delivers a tour de force when it comes to one liners and shlocky action hero lines.

It's not the most gripping story we've ever come across, but it certainly isn't the worst, and if you like zombie films then it'll be right up your street.

Successfully capturing the spirit of the movie and its hero, Ash, it's one of the better budget titles we've played in quite a long time. [July 2003, p.28]

While technologically more advanced than its predecessor, Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick proves to be no deeper or innovative than "Hail to the King."

The game isn't bad. In fact, it's fun, mainly due to the chainsaw and shotgun action. The one-liners themselves are worth at least a rental.

Ash is a great character and this is one of the better $19.99 games out there but without Bruce being on board the way he needs to be, the game is sorely lacking that special something.
