OK I am a big fan of fighting/wrestling games such as WWE SmackDown! series,Tekken amongst other.I`m wondering if Def Jam:Vendetta is worth a buy.First of all i`m not a fan of music,I only listen to some every now and again,so I probably won`t know half the guys on its character roster.But I don`t care about all that,I`m wondering if the actual wrestling gameplay is good,I heard its similar to WWF No Mercy,the best wrestling game on N64 and I loved it.If so,after i finsih the game i will purchase DJ:Fight For N.Y. and any future sequels after that.I`m the more "start from the beginning" person,thats why i am want to try DJ:V first.Please anyone who write the next review please say whether its the wrestling game for me or should i skip it.
By the way,I may not be a fan of music,but I can put up with hip-hop/rap any day,only if most of the songs are not full of explicit lyrics.
Isit a YES or NO,thanks anyways bye.

I bought this game the first day it came out and I'll never regret it. If you like beating up people with cool rappers then you will love this game. It has good graphics and very fun gameplay. This game is soo much better than those other WWE games. I dont think I'll ever get bored of this game.
one of the best fighiting games

for 1 this is the best EA games ive played with the killer graphics and the sweet Def Jam songs. If you dont trust me rent it first and youll find out its a sweet game. The best part is the fights between the girls.
But this has nothing really to do with the game but watty420 is a racest i mean if you tell someone who likes hip hop to go to hell you are probly a poor redneck who cant afford anything nice. I mean almost every kid today probly likes some kinda of hip hop. I mean Limp Bizkut raps and so does pappa roach so are you telling them to go to hell watty420. watty420 you need to get off drugs and loosen up f**ker
Only good for Versus.

This is a cool game, good music and all that, but it sucks unless you're doing versus. Forget beating the big-shot rappers with their triple-platinum egos in single mode. It won't happen. The "artists" must have had a special arrangement with EA stipulating that because they be gangstaz and thugz they can't be beat. Even in easy mode they reverse everything you try. Oh, and try playing the white guys in this game and see how far you get in story mode. Hah!
As much as I'd like to slap DMX for his stupid barking, the game simply won't allow it on any difficulty level, even though we know that in his wildest dreams DMX could never fight with the skill he fights with in this game. That goes for all the Def Jam recording artists. Just forget about fighting them. Now, if they were to drive by the ring in a car and spray it with bullets, I'd believe it.
Some of you may blame my inability to defeat the game due to a certian lack of skills.. oh pardon me... "skilz". But the fact is I am familiar with this game engine, having played it on a multitude of better wrestling games. The controls are slow. While you're winding up to grapple, your opponent will hit you, when you wind up to hit your opponent, he will grapple and destroy you. If you do manage to get a solid grapple on him, don't get too happy, he'll reverse it. The same goes for hitting. These people are simply "da bomb", and when they agreed to make this game they made sure that they'd maintain their digital street cred by being next to impossible to beat. If you manage to even get close to beating your opponent if you rope-break, or he kicks out (even when his energy is down to nothing), he'll get a second wind and you'll never touch him again. It makes me ill.
Also, you can't choose which songs to hear like in EA games like SSX, or other cool sports games like Tony Hawk. If DMX is on the mic, he stays there whether you like it or not.
This is a good game to play with friends who won't cheat you out of victory. It IS fun that way, any other way is a recipie for frustration. Rent this game first, and then decide if I just lack the skilz for this stupid game.

def jam vendetta is a great game, at first. after a while the game gets boring.the story line is cool to. each fighter has a sick special move from the front and back. i really do like the graphics. once your awsome at it the moves get boring and so the fighting
Oooh, oooh, Oh My Goodness!

What can I say? This game, created by the geniuses at AKI and published by EA Big, is an excellent game with alot of replay value if you've got a bunch of friends. The music is off the hizzle fo shizzle, as the game features some track that (hadn't) haven't even been released yet. The graphics are cartoon-like without looking stupid, and all the Def Jam artists are well represented. The game uses a modified version of AKI's wrestling engine made famous by it's N64 wrestling titles and transfers very well to the DS2. Single player mode is challenging without being frustration, and since the game keeps detailed records, bragging rights between you and your friends will be hard to mantain. I wish they would've added some backstage arenas and weapons to spice things up (a ladder match would have been nice too), but hey; that's what sequels are for.
