Celebrity Deathmatch was a minor hit on MTV some time ago... it's kind of become passT, hasn't it? But that isn't deterring Gotham Games from bringing it to every platform next year. The game will feature cutscenes of the same quality and humor as the TV show as well as action similar to a wrestling or boxing game. You can choose between 20 celebrities, including some that never appeared in the original show. This includes Tommy Lee, Mr. T, Carrotop, Porn Star Ron Jeremy, Anna Nicole Smith, Jerry Springer, and more. It also features some famous movie monsters like Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, and the Mummy. Pretty much any celeb you've wanted to see turned into a muddy paste is fair game in this game and any they missed can be created with their Frankenstein character creator function.


Porn Star Ron Jeremy is well known for his bananna


The action involves punching and grappling in the ring and each character has special moves. When you drain your opponent's health meter, or they drain yours, you'll unlock that character's special killing move. Something typically comedic like Tommy Lee playing a guitar solo on your intestines or Mr. T dropping the A-Team van on your head. "I pity the fool!" The only disappointment is that the graphics aren't done in Claymation, so they look a bit different from what fans are used to.

Join your hosts Nick Diamond and Johnny Gomez (voiced by the show actors), and referee Mills "Let's Get It On!" Lane as the popular Claymation spectacular enters the ring for your PC, PS2, GC, or Xbox in just a couple days.

Kid Factor: Violent, violent, violent... but it's the kind of violence kids love (meaning it's crass, cheap, and lowbrow). If your kids watched the show I doubt they'll see anything worse here. If they didn't watch the show, well, it's very violent. I'm talking severed clay limbs, clay blood, clay bizarre mutilation, etc., style violence. Buyer beware.
