Please, play the demo again!
First time played, my brother and I thought "good concept, but the gameplays not very good, all you do is shot and fight". This couldn't be further from the truth.
I've played the demo now at least 20 times. Its so deep and rewarding when you grasp all the skills in the game.
Don't just think its all running about punching people and laughing when they swear, learn to evade tackles, charge up deathrow shots, change tactics to play defencivly, attacking or out and out fighting. I could go on for ages telling you how enjoyable Deathrow is once you master all the skills, and don't go by OXMs 5.something review. Its not like they say "making you feel out of the game", if they would have played it for 10 minutes they would descover pressing black changes character.
Agrh, play the demo again, a few times and I bet the game will grow on you. Theres nothing as satisfying as approching 3 defendeders, Deathrowing the first with the disk, rolling out of the way of the second's kick then just breaking the last mans back with a satisfying Matrix throw, followed by a jump shot straight into the goal. THEN sliding under the net for the disk, auto targeting the net again and letting rip another shot. 2 goals in about 15 seconds. It feels so good.
One last thing I will say, this game has so much potential. It would make the perfect game for XboxLive, I'm 100% sure of that. The clans, levels, skins etc all could be made by Live users. As I say, try it once more and you might just end up adding it to your Christmas List like me.
PS- anyone noticed not all the swearing is *bleeped* out? I've heard "pass it, ****** ******" a few times now. :P
