Dead Ball Zone from GT Interactive Software is a futuristic game of "kill the ball carrier" where you are the manager of an eight-man team. Take control of various psychopathic players as you go for the score at all costs. You get to use grenades, guns and chainsaws to reach your opponents' goal with a small flaming ball.

The game features the Tussle mode where you have a single match with your choice of teams and 10 different arenas from around the world, including London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Amazonia, Paris, India, Thailand and Hawaii. It also features a league game, wherein you take on the role of the player or manager for a Dead Ball Zone team.

Bring your team from the lowest local division up to the national division, and all the way through to the GeoSphere division. As you move through the league, your team's abilities change. So depending on your style of play, your team will become more suited to your game.

The game itself features eight players on each team passing around a small flaming ball. To score you must shoot the ball past your opponent. To get the ball away from your opponent in addition to weapons, you can perform different moves such as head-butting, pile-driving, checking or performing a rugby tackle against the player in possession of the ball.

Think you can dominate in the world of high-speed, futuristic sporting? Get ready to take on Dead Ball Zone for the PlayStation.
