    A modern day rip-off of the Bitmap Brother's classic game Speedball. This doesn't cut to the chaste in the same way. It certainly won't be causing me to get blisters on my hands like the original did. I can't stand lack of originality - they should have licensed a Speedball port from the Bitmap Brothers and given us the game the way it should be.

    Why anyone would spend money to buy this game is beyond me, seems alot similiar to bombing run on unreal championship exept for two things, no guns and not on XBL.

    This game is horrible it is so repe- repe- repe- repeti- reptitive, there are only like three combos in the whole game and they are not even cool. i must say the level desighns are pretty dope though. Seriosly i would have a better time playing bible adventures than playing this game. There is absoulutly no strategy in the whole game.

Those who purchase this game and give money to the developers should burn, and burn for a long long time and never see the living light of day. ANd for those who created this awful awful game they should jump into to the middle of the 405 free way for making such a dissapointment, guys dont even disgrace your house with this filth with a rental, they should have a burining session for this game. That is all i have to say. … Expand

    The animation and graphics are surprisingly weak, but the gameplay can be fun. It's basically soccer where you can carry and throw the ball (well it's a disk) into an upright goal. I feel that the gameplay is a bit too simple, but the swearing and brutality was enjoyable to witness.

    Amazing visuals, strong audio, great depth both single player and multiplayer wise, beautiful presentation and solid all around gameplay makes Deathrow one of the hottest and most underrated titles of the year.

    Maybe its name has allowed it to slip under the proverbial radar. This game isn't about incarcerated inmates waiting to die. In fact, they should have called it Profanity-laced, Ass-kicking, Super, Glowing, Futuristic Frisbee Fest 2002.
