Does anyone have details on Deathrow for Xbox? During my hunt today, I saw it for $15 at EB but the magazine and net reviews have been mixed. EGM gave it a 4.5 while Gamespot gave it Game of the Month when it first came out.

I thought it was a decent game. Definitely a game to be played with multiple players. Imaginative future-sport title from Rockstar, with their personal touches thrown in (blood, language, extreme violence).
The controls take a moment to pick up, but no more difficult than playing Madden or NBA Live. Think of it this way...they created a sport, so they had to create a control scheme for it. I thought it controlled fine once I got the buttons down.
Has some great features that more expensive and well-known titles didn't incorporate, such as System Link play, which can also be used for internet play if you have high-speed internet and use something like XB Connect or Gamespot.
I thought it was fun, but single player may get dull after a while for some people.
