Fully "armed" with his chainsaw, trusty boomstick, and trademark quips, Ash must once again save Dearborn from the unspeakable horrors spawned from The Book of the Dead. After a vortex to the undead is unwittingly opened, deadites swarm through Dearborn, turning humans into zombies. Now, with Dearborn in chaos and citizens begging for help, Ash must hack and slash his way through the streets and figure out how to close the vortex. Ash soon learns that all is not what it seems--those he trusts may be plotting against him, and the history of Dearborn might be irrevocably changed.

Beat on loan from my coworker. This was a weird game and not good at all, but still a reasonably fun time. The camera was terrible, the horizontal camera controls were reversed and could not be changed, and how to progress was so obtuse that I had to check a walkthrough frequently. Infinite enemies annoyed me but the combat was actually not bad. I had no idea there were moves for the chainsaw; I ended up preferring the sword and guns of course. I loved how he can carry an infinite amount of ammo and health kits. I wish more games had this because I hate finding stuff I can't take because an arbitrary limit says I have too much.

6.0/10
