I really wanted to like this game, I'd been wanting to play it for many years, but unfortunately I just did not like it. Don't take this too seriously as I only played two levels, but I was just not gelling with this game. Unpleasant to control especially when moving while turning the camera, enemies absolutely clumping with no good dispersal measure, and combat that had fun animations, but little feedback.

The movie this game is based on is my favorite movie that I've seen, so I'm a sucker for having Tobey Maguire himself reprising the role. I think it's rad when celebrities return to their roles for adaptations, and the little I did hear of it, he totally delivered. Especially with this game's deadpan humor. Speaking of, I think Bruce Campbell's wonderful and comical narration of the tutorial is probably the most well-known part of this game. Honestly, if you ever have the chance, just booting this game up and playing the tutorial and listening to Bruce Campbell's ramblings is worth it. There's also a game in here, too, I guess.
