    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.

    I agree with Dave B. - It may not have the best graphics or the tightest play ever, but that doesn't really effect the fun factor. As I agree with Dave B. - It may not have the best graphics or the tightest play ever, but that doesn't really effect the fun factor. As for the proffesional critics? I've had more fun playing Goonies II for NES than some of the crap they rave about. Full Review »
