Product Description

In Deathrow there are no rules and full-contact aggression is not only legal, it's required. The fastest, toughest players are victorious and the slow and weak are defeated. The game combines the lightning-fast gameplay of third-person action games with the cooperative team play and gritty roughness of rugby, offering a unique combat sport experience.

The object of Deathrow is for you to win matches by whatever means necessary, either by scoring as many points as possible before time runs out, or by severely injuring your opponents and removing them from the field of combat. As the game begins, two teams of four players square off in a combat arena to compete in an intense, unmediated slugfest to determine the champion. As you engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with highly intelligent AI opponents seeking retribution for not only themselves, but also for their fallen team mates, you'll soon understand the sacrifices necessary to become the supreme team of the league.

Excellent
This game is brilliant had it for a while now used to play it all the time with friends but now i have finished it all i tend to play other games i still give it the odd hour or 2 a week. I wish this game was more known as it is brilliant and i hope there is another Deathrow game being planned as i would like something new like this.
I would Highly recomend that you give this game a go!! well worth the money

If it was a real sport...
...it would have an absolutely rabid fan-base!

This game combines elements of soccer, basketball, and cage-fighting into a fast and truly amusing mix that will keep you entertained for hours.

Fans of the Speedball series will instantly recognise the format, and it will probably become their favorite of the "brutal future-sport" genre - topping even Speedball!

The game is a four-a-side team sport, where both sides aim to throw a disk through a vertical circular hoop at either end of the arena. The eponymous "deathrow" comes from the ability to charge the disk with energy, making it unblockable (and co-incidentally bowling the opposition over).

The three aspects that make this game so fun are the speed, the fighting, and the opposing teams holding grudges - if you continually rumble their players, they will gang up and grind your team into the floor.

Mix this with well varied teams and arenas, the ability to play with up to four players on one xbox (or 8 on two linked machines), and team customisation, and you have at least 50+ hours of entertainment on a single disk - probably more if you have friends.

cool game, shame it isn't more heard of
I picked this game up cheaply simply because i wanted a new game for my xbox, but when i played it i wondered why. This game is sooo good. It's easy to get the hang of and after getting into the game thre are goodies to buy along the way. I definately recomend this game. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
