The greatest future sport/death sport game was released in 1998
The Good
The gaming industry really doesn't need to make endless FPS clones, when DBZ provided the model for a future online hit. Featured various throws/moves and illegal power-ups but, most importantly, a multi-tier league system with permanent injuries and death. A new version could also combine well with Frozen Cortex style play-calling, though the game is better than Blood Bowl because there were no die rolls, nor any artificial attempts to match team abilities - sometimes you played against teams significantly weaker than you and you could chainsaw half of their team and remove most of their players. Seriously, people who think Speedball is as good as this genre gets haven't played DBZ. Desperately needs a reboot.
The Bad
It was 1998 - there was only so much you could put onto a PS1 disc.
The Bottom Line
Future sports, death sports,
