This game was so popular on release it clogged up the xbox forums. Eventually they had to give it its own forum just for talking about Deathrow - a first for an xbox game. Given a monumentally small amount of advertising (a single page picture in one xbox magazine) and a dodgy prison looking front cover for the U.S. edition (instead of the sleek sci fi EU cover) it sold averagely despite its fantastic reviews and dedicated playerbase.
Probably the greatest sports game ever - it deserves a full PC update. I can't recommend it enough!!
