CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Last year's Chaos League demo earned our top rating because the game was both good and unique: a real-time strategy sports game. This year's sequel adds new races, spells, heroes, clans, and turn-based gameplay options that are interesting, but not revolutionary. There's a great game in Chaos League: Sudden Death if you can get past the complexities of the interface and the gameplay, but the demo slightly disappoints.
As with conventional real-time strategy games, you control the players and camera using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. Nine players make up a team, and the demo includes the Human and Damned races. Each position has different basic abilities that can be improved by gaining experience via touchdowns, knockouts, or passes. We particularly liked the ability to instigate spectator attacks by stringing together action combinations.
The sequel's graphics are better than the original, but Chaos League still isn't nearly as attractive as other sports games, which becomes painfully evident during touchdown replays. Numerous tutorials cover gameplay basics, but they're not as comprehensive as they should be. Those minor complaints, plus a few interface glitches and a lack of multiplayer support, result in a downgraded rating for this real-time sequel.
Publisher's description
From Digital Jesters :Chaos League: Sudden Death takes off where the original game left off. It's improved and enhanced to take the real-time, role-playing strategy sports title into a whole new world of pain. The first rule of Chaos League is simple: there are no rules. The aim of the game stays the same: score as many goals as possible, any way possible. Added to the brutal mix are new races, new grounds, 19 hero characters, improved commentary, additional in-game options (such as autospell casting), and the ability to beat up the referee. In multiplayer mode, opponents can goad each other via microphone, and fresh tournament modes can be managed to create almost limitless leagues.
This demo lets you play as Human or the Damned in Match and Championship modes. Several tutorials also are included.
