Another Hands-On from Gamespot, this time for the upcoming Xbox/PS2 game, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick:

Fist Full of Boomstick will be a mission-based game that will give you certain objectives in each level, like finding and rescuing a specific character, but much of the game will be focused on fighting hordes of zombies. In addition, many levels will have innocent civilians running through the streets. If Ash takes too long to kill off the nearby deadites, his enemies will transform these civilians into more deadites that Ash will need to dispatch.

Apparently, much of the game will take place in Deerborne, the town of Ash's origin from the original films. Apparently the evil Necronomicon tome has somehow "fed itself into" the town, infesting it with zombies. Ash will pick up a variety of different weapons, and will also be able to learn some magic spells, including the ability to travel through time. Eventually, Ash will end up visiting a futuristic version of Deerborne, as well as American Civil War-era Deerborne, and the Deerborne of the 1960's.
