    The relatively crackling gameplay and amusing atmosphere make for an enjoyable whole, and above all a decent party game. [Feb 2003, p.78]

    The one thing that makes this game interesting is if you play the game as it’s supposed to be played, the other team will keep it relatively clean. If you start going out to pick fights, the people you beat up will remember you, and come back and beat you into a corner.

The violence and vulgar language make for an entertaining and funny setting, but the gameplay is where Deathrow shines the most. I noticed some reviewers that I normally trust trashed this game, most notably Game Informer. Not enough depth?
