Finally, a wrestling game for the cube that has the same exact engine that WWF No Mercy had for the N64. This game is incredibly fun with tons of replay value. I just got it today and played it none stop for 3 hours. The controls are easy, unlike the other wrestling games that have come out of late. In fact, if you've played the N64 No Mercy game, then you'll be able to play right off the bat. There is no corny music while your playing (like other wrestling games have). In fact the background music consists of beats by the def jam artists that are featured in the game. So it is almost like listening to the radio while your playing your game. Anyways, the reason I'm writing this review is because if you're one of those people that was hoping that an updated version of No Mercy for the N64 would come to the cube like I was, then wait no more. Buy it now and have some fun!!

This game is the best ever made!!! There is only one single thing that could be changed to make it better. That thing is have Ludacris music on the soundtrack. Even without Luda this is still a perfect game. This game is easily worth 50$. Buy it now!!! IT RULES!!!!

Not only tht i love this game its tht it has the best rappers in it. Im not a good fan of rap but i think they have the best rappers. But i dont care about tht. Its tht game play. Whne u simmit there legs break and tht shows good fughting spirit. But also tht u can choose wat girlfriend u want btu u also have 2 beat it 2 get them. IF u really want this game get it b4 u get the seacond Def Jam. U get used 2 the contols b4 u get 2 the really hard stuff. So if u want 2 get this and its 50 dallars or more i think its worth it but if u get the 2nd game first u might not want 2 pay tht much money 4 it cuz it the 2nd 1 theres way more curse words and more action. BUt yes its a alsome game. Also the thing i like about this 1 more then i like about the 2nd is the story line. Ill have 2 say yes its better in my opinon. Theres one more thing tht i like more about this 1 and tht is, is tht its more rememberable. And also its less confusing in this one cuz in the 2nd theres like 10 places tht u can go in one time.

Best wrestling game ever!

OK, for starters, Vendetta is the best wrestling game I have ever played on the next-gen consoles, and possibly on any system to date. And get this, I don't even like rap!

Here's the rundown on the game. 1-5, 5 being best.

Graphics- 4.5

(Excellent battle graphics and beautiful movies, but some slight collision detection probs. Nothing too severe.)

Sound- 4
(Rap soundtrack often gets you in the fighting mood no matter what type of music you like, and the bone crushing sound effects are almost rediculously brutal. However, more songs wouldn't have hurt.)

Gameplay- 4.5

(OK, as stated, this game is great. But often the difficulty gets ramped up unexplainably. Wait till you see the finishers!!! Rediculous!!!!!)

Fun Factor- 5

(You will have more fun playing this game than most of the games on the 'Cube currently dominating it's charts, Metroid Prime for example.)

Replayabilty- 5
(You will never stop playing this game! Trust me.)

Overall this game would probably average off to about a 4.5, but since I either have to give it a 4 or a 5, I definitely choose the big 5. This game is as close to perfect as a wrestling game has ever and will ever come, and I am not a fan of rap or wrestling. That says alot. Just buy it and gawk over the insane Blazin' finishers!

Not Just a Game for Rap Fans

I got DJV expecting maybe a few days of fun, but months later, I still find myself playing it. This game is a blast solo, and even more fun with a group of people. While it may cramp your style (literally) with its button mashing, it will be well worth it due to the fun it delivers.

Graphics- 8.5/10 While DJV does have decent graphics, I have seen better on the GAMECUBE. The girlfriends in particular look pretty shoddy, and the large size of the characters make annoying ropebreaks frequent. The backgrounds are nice, but could've been improved.

Control- 8.75/10 The tutorial in the game really helps out with the controls, which may seem difficult at first, but after a few matches, it'll become second nature.

Game Design- 9.75/10 I like how you need to progress in the game to unlock more characters, although I wish there were more. 35 gets old surprisingly fast. The story mode is pretty enthralling, though, and is mildly interesting. The combos and finisher moves are sweet too.

Story- 9/10 It's hard to believe a wrestling game has a story, but there is one. You pick one of four generic characters and then begin. You're a former wrestler who quit but when your manager Manny needed to pay back a few loans, you got back into the game. Now you're off to make it back to the top and claim Def Jam. You'll need to fight your way through street punks and wannabees, plus beat several Def Jam artists, including DMX, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, N.O.R.E., and Scarface, to have a shot at winning it all.

Sound- 8/10 While rapping isn't my genre of choice, the music is varied and rarely a distraction. The commentary is a nice touch but gets old pretty quickly.

Satisfaction- 9.5/10 Simply put, this game is fun to play. It'll have a controller in your hand for a long time to come.

Overall, this game is definitely worth trying out, so you may want to rent it first if wrestling games aren't your style. But hey, I'm not a big fan of wrestling and I love it, so you might like it too. Give it a shot, something here will be worth your time.

Well worth the money!! It "rocks"!! It's the best game ever!

I really love playing this game! It's not that challenging, but it's still really fun! My favorite character is "Dan G", because he has the best kick action than any other character in the game.
You can play in single-player or in multi-player "team" mode. In team mode, you (and your team-mate) can (together) pick up your opponent and throw him flying through the air! I first played this game at my cousin's house, and I thought it was so much fun, that I got it for Xmas! If you enjoy wrestling, then this is definitely/totally the game for you!!!

Def Jam Vendetta is the best game i have ever played. It is awesome how you can play as some of your favorite rappers! The only bad thing, and i mean the only, is i beat it in like half an hour. I got Deebo and Omar on like the first day i had it. The moves you can do are so cool and look like they would hurt so bad!! It is awesome!!! Bottom line is this is my favorite game and i cannot wait to get Def Jam 2.

Great Game

I really like this game. I beat the whole game in about 6 months. It's kind of funny cause girls fight each other. You can be Method Man, Redman, D-Mob, N.O.R.E., and my favorite Ludacris. Although you have to unlock practicaly everything. It's a great game!

long awaited

ITS ABOUT TIME SOME MORE GAMES WERE MADE FOR THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY. I LIKE THIS GAME A LOT, EDPECIALLY HOW WE CAN NOW ACT OUT OUR OWN BEEFS ON THE GAME AND NOT READ ABOUT THEM IN THE PAPERS. THE GRAPHICS, STORYLINE, AND MOVES WERE ALL GOOD QUALITY.
