    The game does have its perks, and those would all belong to the graphics, which are very well done and match the TV's character design.

    Since the game does provide some laughs and is fun when a friend is over $20 isn't too bad for the game.

    Not only did it skip over the elements that make the TV show so memorable in terms of its presentation, but it wasn't much fun to play either.

    But if you’re looking for a poorly-assembled gimmick of a game that serves as a friendly reminder of the good ol’ Celebrity Deathmatch days on MTV, all for a discounted price of $19.99, then CD just might be for you. If you’re not looking for authenticity, though, stay far, far away from this one.

    It's neither run nor funny - you're better off spending $20 on something else. [Jan 2004, p.125]

    Celebrity Deathmatch's biggest problem isn't its timing, but, rather, it's the absolutely horrid gameplay and complete lack of any worthwhile features.

    Besides the two seconds of fatality joy, the only other redeeming quality of this game is its price. Major retail outlets tag it at about $20. That’s still about $19 overpriced, but at least they’re not trying to pretend this decorative coaster is anything else.

    This is the definitive title for X-Box. Whooping the crap out of that little girl Ving Rhames is fantastically well. With guest appearancesThis is the definitive title for X-Box. Whooping the crap out of that little girl Ving Rhames is fantastically well. With guest appearances by Jay-z and Rosario Dawson. Speakerboxx/TheLoveBelow is the greatest movie about sea adventures starring Russell Crowe, whose new self-titled album titled Blink 182 is blowing away the country music charts not to mention the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere. In other news, Iraq suffered a severe Ving Rhames attack today when he dressed up as a bear and punched people in the eyes while declaring that Celebrity Deathmatch is the best ownable title on the X-Box.… Expand

I would This game blew worse ass then I do after eatting 2 bowls of chili, 5 bean burritos, 2 loaves of garlic bread, and 600 rotten eggs. I would actually have to say that I believe I am most likely 40% dumber now after playing it. Don't touch it...put your wallet back in your pocket and take your girlfriend or perhaps blow-up doll if you are like that...out to eat and dance.… Expand

    Without doubt, one of the worst games I have ever played. I completed it fully in 33 minutes and the replay value was completely nil. And Without doubt, one of the worst games I have ever played.
