Celebrity Deathmatch

Celebrity Deathmatch Description

MTV is a channel known primarily for its music and music-related documentaries, but it also has a neat sideline in animated series. Witness the likes of Ren & Stimpy and Beavis & Butthead. With Celebrity Deathmatch among the latest and greatest shows on MTV, it comes as no surprise that the frenzied beat-em-up is bound for the PS2 console. A faithful representation of the animated equivalent, Celebrity Deathmatch allows players to take control of and even dismember as many as 15 of TV's most well known personalities. As a game, Celebrity Deathmatch is very much a simple, uncomplicated beat-em-up. Fighting your enemies in a variety of locations, players must, at a basic level, simply punch and kick their opponents to death. The ability to pick up and throw telephone booths with Mr T does make things more interesting and there is also a variety of wrestling moves available to inflict upon your opponents. Visually, the game world and its inhabitants also remain faithful to the TV original. The simple, plasticine-like characters remain intact for this virtual outing, and roam around a variety of sparse 3D environments. It's not the most astounding game to look at, but it gets the job done. Celebrity Deathmatch is a light-hearted experience, not to be taken seriously. All you have to do is to knock your enemy for six and have fun whilst doing it.

Characters take damage throughout fights and appear bruised, bloody, dented, deformed, or hacked apart.

Original Show hosts Nick Diamond and Johnny Gomez provide color commentary while ref Mills Lane calls the shots.

Each celebrity has their own unique moves suited to their personas. Special death moves allow players to finish off their opponents with an unbelievable dose of carnage.

Create-A-Celebrity allows players to make their own victim of fame.

A plethora of arenas, modes, characters, challenges, and unlockables keep the slaughter new and fresh time after time.
