From Ubi Soft:
Deathrow is a brutal fighting sport where the fastest, toughest players are
victorious and the slow and weak are defeated. It combines the lightning-fast
gameplay of third-person action games, adrenaline rush of fighting games and the
cooperative team play and gritty roughness of rugby, offering a unique gameplay
experience. The object of the game is to win matches however you can, either by
scoring as many points as possible before time runs out, or by severely injuring
your opponents and removing them from the field of combat.
- Feel the rush as you beat the pulp out of your opponents using
back-breaking holds, blood-splattering punches and fast sliding kicks to knock
the competition to the floor.
- Team up with a friend and go for a team K.O. as you electrify the crowd,
stomping your enemies and scoring.
- Earn money by winning matches, injuring your opponents and exciting the
audience, to attract star players and train your current team making them
stronger by any means necessary.
- Engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat against your friends, enemies, or
highly-intelligent AI opponents that don't just get mad, they get even!
In Deathrow there are no rules and full-contact aggression is not only legal,
it's required!
