EA SPORTS BIG DOES IT AGAIN

I first played the demo for this game on the demo cd for February's issue of PlayStation Underground...it was great...sure the loading time took a while...but that was just the demo. I rented the game afterward, and the loading time is 50 times faster. The storyline is great, your friend needs help because of his debts to D-Mob, the fighting club president type guy. He (your friend, Manny) would fight but cannot due to a broken arm). This D-Mob character took your girlfriend and beat [you] down some time ago. So you get in the ring for your friend and the story goes on from there... This game is great! It is very addicting, I was constantly playing with my mother yelling at me to stop. And due to my non-stop gameplay even during meal times, I managed to beat the game in two full days.
Buy this game you will not regret it...the game [is great]!
P.S. This game features some great artists like Ludacris, DMX, N.O.R.E., Capone, Redman, Methodman, and many, many more!

YEAH!!!

This game rocks. Sure it has no CAW mode but it still is great. The only complaint I have is I wish there was more real rappers. This game has excellent graphics and entertaining story line. There are many things to unlock like characters, arenas, and outfits. I rented the game and as soon as I can I'm gonna buy it!

WWE meets BET

The return of wrestling's best game developer. The emergence of a wrestling game without the burden of WWE. EA's decision to take a little risk. The convergence of all this is Def Jam Vendetta, a game that is at once the best wrestling game in years, an awesome showcase for some ... good hip-hop, and an example of what can happen when a game company takes a chance.
Vendetta casts you as a street fighter in the inner city, where brawlers clash for cash, groupies, and bragging rights. D-Mob, the fictional leader of the underground, has assembled some of Def Jam Records' most popular artists to rule the ring on his behalf, and you have to beat them down to reach the top. Along the way, you'll get involved in some tag-team drama and girlfriend trauma, unlocking playable characters, outfits, and galleries as you go. DJV speaks to a problem in the wrestling genre-the whole thing has gotten stale, and it's time for some new blood. EA snagged AKI, developer of the awesome N64 WCW/WWF titles, to make Def Jam a contender. The result is a wrestling game that's fun, exciting, and imminently playable-one that makes the most recent WWE games look like patty cake in comparison. Style is a huge part of why Vendetta succeeds. The characters, arenas, moves, and taunts all invoke an urban feel that screams Def Jam while proving that you don't need Y2J and The Rock to make a compelling brawler. Tracks from Def Jam's stable of artists pound all over the game, and though they repeat a bit too much, it's nice to have great music playing during a beat-down. DJV's other high point is the way it plays. Strikes, grapples, and reversals seem perfectly balanced and easy to do, and every match is exciting and gripping. What's more, the matches seem to make sense-quick series of moves will wear a guy down, but give him a chance to rest and he's back, almost as good as new. The game's A.I. is cheap, to say the least (there's one throw that's reversed 100 percent of the time by computer-controlled opponents), but multiplayer is a blast.
Finally, a wrestling game that doesn't require a WWE Fan Club membership to enjoy. If you like hip-hop, brawling, or just good games, go get Vendetta now.

Great game

While it didn't take me much time to finish it, DJV is the best fighting/wrestling game I have ever played (save for maybe Super Smash Bros.). It's got great music, cool moves and is a lot of fun.

Fun, but doesn't last long.

Perhaps once it reaches the bargain bin, this game will be worth buying, but as it stands, the fun doesn't last long.
The wrestling is great, the graphics are good, the sound is decent, but it's the lack of options and cusomiseability that brings this game down. There's no create-a-wrestler option, so once you've beaten the game (not a terribly difficult thing to do) you're left with nothing.

Best wrestling game I've ever played

Ever since I played Pro Wrestling on the original NES, I haven't found a wrestling game I enjoyed--until now. Def Jam Vendetta has great play control and graphics. The story mode is fun also.
It is easy to learn how to play. I can't think of anything bad about this game.
