Such good memories of this game, tried it again 2 weeks ago and it aged very well (thanks to the OG Xbox hardware).
Published by Ubi Soft in 2002 this game was one of the first Xbox games i bought. For some reason the boxart attracted me (not the image that is shown on this page). The mix of future sports and hand to hand combat has found its sweet spot in Deathrow. I will bet you if this game gets remade it will reach the same level as Rocket League.
Pros:
Athmosphere
Combat mechanics
Fun teams
Cons:
They could have added more gamemodes
