This game is a great deal for the price, imo. It's not the best game, but it's a nice break from Rock Band and other Karaoke games. The song section is pretty good too, as a fan of 90's hip hop. You'll need a microphone, but if you have one from Rock Band it will work great.

What's great about it: great price, easy to pick up and play
Per its title, WWE Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches - a release from World Wrestling Entertainment - features the bloodiest bone-crunching clips from Extreme Championship Wrestling bouts . All of the clips in this release were carefully screened and selected by Paul Heyman. A highlight is the notorious 'barbed wire' match between Sabu and Terry Funk.
This collection of ECW's Most Violent matches is pretty great, especially with the reduced price. It covers a nice variety of ECW's matches from the early 90's into 2000/2001 when ECW went bankrupt. Paul Heyman, the man behind the magic, does a great job introducing the matches so you get a basic understanding of what was happening and why.
Despite being advertised as hardcore matches, which this collection definitely shows, there's a lot more offered. There's some solid technical ability, high flying matches, some lucha libre, weapons, brawling, and much more. But most importantly, tons of passion and drive to put on the best matches they could.
There are a few matches alone on this tape that are worth the $6 on their own. I definitely recommend this tape to anyone misses or missed out on ECW, back before WWE changed the game.
