User Rating: 9.4 | Deathrow XBOX
this is one of my favourite games of all time and i think that all xbox owners should have this game in their library. its a shame that this game isn't as well known as others as it deserves to be. GAMEPLAY 9/10 the game is amazing, from the tactics to the full on fighting this game is alot of fun and one that is easy to pick up but hard to master...there is just soo much u can do. managing your team is fun but can get repetative as what happens to your team is scipted and each time one of your teamates is going to sleep with your managers daughter and your going to have to pay a hefty fine. it is one of those rare games that the more you play the better you get, and you keep getting better. it misses out from a perfect score as the controls are a tad tedious and parts of the game, like goalkeeping could have been developed better GRAPHICS 9/10 the game is sweet to look at. from the bump mapping to the realistic and varied animation to the cool effects the disc gives off, this game is a sight for sore eyes. the framerate stays steady, even through hectic multiplayer matches, with so much happening on screen with camereras flying everywhere, one person scoring while meanwhile another is getting beaten to the ground, this game doesn't miss a beat. SOUND 10/10 the heavy amount of swearing in the game may put some, especially younger gamers off. unfortunately the swearing can not be turn off, the only alternative is to turn down the speaking sound effect in the options menu. i give this a ten as the sound in this game is truly atmospheric. you can hear the crowd (even though you can't see them, they're suppose to be watching you on a big screen). the voice acting is pretty good, different for each team, the the sound of beating somebody up is truly bone crushing. VALUE 9/10 the amount of unlockables is truely amazing, teams, players, arena, alternate gameplays, it will take a while to get through it all. one good thing is you can choose what to unlock and when. mulitiplayer is a blast. only bad points are some people may find unlocking too slow and there is unfortunately no live play (let's just hope there is a sequal) overally this game is one, if the the favourite game i've ever had the joy of playing. i hope that more people are opened too it's delights and the developers make a sequel with the deserving amount of publicity for it
