Deathrow for Xbox

Why has this game gotten such glaring reviews, and almost dissapeared off the face of the earth?

Haoh mentioned it in headlines, Andy wrote a pretty good review (meaning the game was pretty good, the review was very good), it was mentioned as an XBL title WAAAAY back, but since, nothing.

Does anybody own it? Anybody know much about how much it should be worth? I'm seeing it for $30 and considering it.

Let me know what you guys think and what the hell happened to the discussion about it.

(Maybe I just missed it, I searched and came up fairly empty)

After hearing about how good it was, I borrowed a copy from the store to check it out. It's pretty good, and if you frequently have friends over, it'd be worth $30. There's no Live support, though, and that keeps it from being great IMO. Even though there's a lot to do, I found I got bored pretty quick in single player. Then again, the only "sports" game I really liked was Brutal Sports Football on the Jaguar, so, take that as you will.

There's a demo on one of the past OXM discs that really turned me off on this game. I just couldn't get into how it played at all, though can't really explain why.

Same to me, I got bored really quick. Probable with many friends over you could play it from time to time.

I thought this thread was gonna be about the imminent death of Xbox.

Well I was WAY off.

it's alright.

it's much better in the non FPS control than in the FPS control. i kind of liken it to blades of steel.. it's not really a sports game, it's a fast action game with s sports theme.

doubt it's worth $30 but you could possibly have fun with it with friends.
