I got the demo of this game in the Feb issue of OPM and it was awesome. I played a later version at the mall in NY and it was way quicker. The version in OPM was slower, but demo's are just that...demo's...I never have too much expectations for demo's. I played all of the developer's (AKI) N64 games back in the day and was interesed to see how thier kick [butt] engine ported to PS2. The demo at the mall was very impressive. The response felt like a fighting game, but still had the amazing grappling engine that I love about AKI. Blending EA BIG with AKI was brilliant. At first, the concept with Def Jam seemed weird to me, but the gameplay and fresh twist to the genre kicks Smackdown to the ground. Finally a game engine that makes sense again with a fresh style. From what I have read, the game has a very extensive story mode, but all I really care about is great gameplay. Anyways, I cant wait to get this game when it comes out. I just hope these games start coming out with an online component.
Let's All Have High Hopes

After playing the demo of this game, I can only say that I was very impressed. For a fighting game, the graphics were fantastic, with DJ's and cage dancers in the demo level. The characters look great, and for the most part the rappers don't disappoint. Redman and Method Man looked good, and I am excited about DMX and Ludacris. I just wish that all of the rap labels had released artists. Where's Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem when you need them?! Aside from the rappers, the other fighters look good. They really look like a gangsta from the depths of the Bronx! The sound was good, especially the sound effects. The crowd sounds realistic as well do the fighters. The taunts are cool, and the moves that each character has are out of this world! If you want bad, this game has it all! The levels look good, with crawling, living city environments. It's like a scene out of Training Day. The interface was good, and the controls were comfortable and easy to get used to. The other features and gameplay elements look good as well, even though they weren't included in the demo version. I have a lot of hope for Ea Sports BIG, because they have produced such fine games as SSX Tricky and Street Hoops. Who's Bad?
After playing the full version of the game, I was even more impressed. There are many awesome fighters, and even girlfriends, which are exactly as they sound. Each girlfriend out of the five, has the ability to fight and they have pictures, featuring REAL HOT real models, not animated ones. You choose your girlfriend, and you can dump her each time a new one comes along, and she fights and stands by your side. The hottest girl is Deja, by far, but that is of course personal opinion. This feature makes the game even more fun than it already is. The levels are awesome, but there are just too few of them. Multiplayer is great, but the single player mode is extrewmely short. I beat it in two short days! DJV is great fun for rapper or wrestling fans, and it throws out the old wrestling games and brings forth a new style of game. This is the new master of the PS2 and Gamecube rings!
Too much like No Mercy....

I played the demo version for the game. the game is okay but its just like WWF No Mercy for N64. Well the grappling is at least. Some people wondering why Rappers like Eminem and Dr.Dre arent in it? It's because its only rappers of DEF JAM RECORDS Hence the name DEF JAM vendetta. Maybe Shady will come out with Shad Vendetta.
The hottest game to come out

Having not played any of the other wrestling games mentioned, I really have none to compare this one to. But it's a definite keeper, if only to hear the comments made by the video game rappers real life counter parts and fight in their own unique environments. Gameplay is tricky on PS2 because only one button controls your kicks/punches. But once you get the hang of it it's pretty fun to watch what happens. Plus they have an added feature that lets you exchange girlfriends if you see one that looks better. You'll have to play to understand. When first learning moves, Ghostface Killah is the best character to use.He's strong and really agile. Overall a decent way to blow [money amount]on a game....
