This is one of the most underrated and fulfilling fighting games ever made. This game and its predecessor Def Jam, Vendetta are a phenomenal mix of Hip hop culture and gaming. Games are supposed to take you on a journey and bring you together. The first to Def Jam games did both. With head-to-head, Tag-team and free for all play for up to four people on the couch. This game was truly something special. Snoop Dogg as the final boss in the second entry was a brilliant choice and his moves were amazing.
These games are so good that they may make you think the 3rd game was released only to sabotage the franchisee.
Building off the WCW engine was a great choice. Having Kevin Liles involved an actual gamer even better. You had solid control with great influence. And no one can ever forget the Blazin moves.
This game has personality for miles. I asked hopefully please Microsoft bring both games Def Jam Vendetta and Def Jam Vendetta Fight for New York
to backwards compatibility. Please please please please please. That's how good they are. And we still haven't discussed the soundtrack. 😲😲😲😲😲
