Ok, first of all I hate wrestling games and have never liked one enough to buy it or even play it.
This one is way different.
It isn't like other wrestling games,you can break your opponents arms or legs if you perform submission moves on that part of the body enough times, for Submission wins, you can K.O. them with fatality-like Supermoves, or hey you can go for the tradition al pin.
You can pick from a variety of "def Jam" artists including: Method man, Ghostface Killah, Redman, DMX,Ludacris,Funk master flex, N.O.R.E.,Capone,Kieth Murray,WC, and Joe Budden(who is the only guy on def jam who hasn't released an actual album in the whole time he has been on their label,What's up with that?)
Anyway, the more you play the more money you get to make your "story mode" characters better(buy power, speed,stamina,etc.)there is a "Survival" mode,as well as up to four player multi player set up.
MY ONLY COMLAINT?
the fact that if you beat the game and get all the characters and all outfits and everything, and you go to play multi player?
the person you play against doesnt have all the characters.
They have to beat the game through with all the story mode characters to get them and save them to a seperate identity so that you can have all players for 2 player mode.

AND THE GAME IS LONG!!!!! 40 wrestlers to beat, it can take some time, and not all of them can be pinned.Some HAVE to be K.O'd like a fatality(like the end boss).Also there are some pretty unfair matches,One of which you have to fight 3 guys and you cant pin them, you have to K.O one of them! Hard stuff!

In my opinion fans of fighting games and wrestling games will like this game,but make no mistake about it this game relies on grapples very heavily like a wrestling game.If you want to do big damage you have to learn them.

Worth buying for sure!!!!!!!!!!! but hey , rent it first if you want to be %100 sure!!

First of all I just wanna say I'm so tired of these stupid fools who think they know music. LL Cool J didn't sign with Def Jam until the game was already out. And Ja-Rule and Jay-Z aren't with Def Jam. Jay-Z is with Roc-a-fella and Jarule is with murder. Both labels are just in association with Def Jam. And so what if they didn't put every single Def Jam artists in the game. They got Method, Redman, Luda, Scarface, Ghostface, WC, Funkmasterflex, Capone, Nore, and DMX. What more do they need? Anyway what I liked most about this game was the beginning intro and how realstic the story and characters were. It makes you feel like you really street fighting for money and taking out a superior mob of gangsters. Buy it today.

Sweet Game

I borrowed Def Jam Vendetta and I loved it!! I mean the controls were kinda weak but then again It was awsome. Im planning on buying it. The Story mode is good u get 2 fight a ton of guys (which I like 2) and if u make it 2 the last fight u face D-Mob the boss of Def Jam he's wickid easy. U have 2 unlock alot of people which stinks though u have 2 unlock Ludacris, D-Mob,Method Man,Red Man,Scarface,Headache,and many many many more. Take my advice dont listen 2 any 1 else but me, BUY IT.

yo this game is tight from the opening credit till the end yeah the game is a bit short but so what u can't get any beter than this. this game beats out wwe and all other wrestling games i mean look at the finishers every wrestler has 2 and there all different from the front and back pluss the def jam artist's yeah u can't create a wrestle but it's still tight graphic's are tight story mode could have had more characters but who cares it was great also overall theis game is dope u don't need another wrestling game expect when back yard wrestling comes out if it is good enough

Gotta be tough to survive the underground...

Let me start off by saying, this game really deserves 4 1/2 stars but I do believe this game is quite good so, I'll give it five stars. Honestly, I believe (although I am a very big rap fan) that one does not have to like rap to enjoy this game. This game added a little more excitement for me because most of the fighters are rap stars. Someone who isn't a big rap fan, but doesn't mind rap, would probably give this game four stars. Someone who HATES rap would probably just leave this game alone. And the fact that I enjoyed this game as a fighting game (rather than a music game) proves that this game has more depth than just rap. The fight system is very good. You are able to pin your opponent, knock him/her out (Yes, you can be girls too. This game DOES manage to be some what politically correct.) with an AWESOME special move which varies for each character, or put your foe into submission by lowering their head, body, leg, or arm health to zero. And although the story mode for this game isn't all that hard, (I used the setting "Easy") the game isn't fully beaten unless story mode is completed with all the starting characters. This game definitely keeps you busy! And even after you complete everything, you can still duke it out with a friend any time you want. Personally I think they should make more games like this only not just featuring rap artists from Def Jam Recordings. A game featuring rap artists who fight from Shady Records (Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, D-12 etc.) would be awesome!

P.S. Parents beware... This game does have violence, contains some inappropriate language, and includes some degration to women.

Too gangsta for the garden
