The show is great, so the opportunity to actually be in control of the celebrities sounds like a dream come true! Unfortunately, it doesn't deliver much. The characters look good, and it's awesome having running commentary from Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond throughout the match, but you're extremely limited almost from the beginning, and the instructions on how to operate your character are sketchy at best. You'll find yourself mostly just button-mashing in a desperate attempt to make something work. In the game's defense, the "kill moves" are funny and keep in the spirit of the show very well. The game can be extremely gruesome at times (ripping a character's arms, legs, and head off are not off limits) and the language used is sometimes severe (including profanity like they use on the show). Also, the character selection is limited to begin with, and the create-a-celebrity mode doesn't really deliver you that much to work with (you can't really create anyone recognizable). All in all, a great distraction rental for an afternoon or two, but not worth owning unless you're a huge fan of the show.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very CHEAP unlockables...., October 31, 2003

I loved the show,so I got the game.It is funny for awhile,but the same moves and one-liners quickly wear on your nerves.The game ends very quick,but what's really bad about this game is the so called unlockable "bonus" characters to play as!I was under the impression that you would unlock more celebs to play as;that is NOT the case at all.You just unlock stupid fantasy characters like frankenstien,werewolf,mummy,alien etc.

Also the material they used to poke fun at the celebrities seems dated,as if this game was meant to be released a couple years back.Gotham Games could've also added better celebrities to play as and mutilate.I think it would've been funny to see someone like Brittney Spears or Eminem getting impaled or beheaded.But instead they give us Busta Rhymes and Carrot Top!?

Take this one for a rental if you are really bored,but PLEASE do not buy this one!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Celebrity Death Match (Video Game)

Why does everyone I know who's played this game does not like Carrot Top? There's absolutely nothing wrong with him. I was surprised who was on this game when I got it. If there's someone who gets annoying quickly like Ron Jeremy or Anna Nicole Smith or Cindy Margolis, I can easily kill them with ones like Jerry Springer or the Mummy! THIS GAME IS NEAT! {It's not my favorite, but a neat fighting game}.
