BEST PSP Fighter- hands down
And it's available on the PSP in this version, The Takeover. Aside from the storyline, this is a carbon copy of the game that graced home consoles (and trust me, that is in no way a bad thing). All of the stages (plus a few more), all of the fighters, and all of the hard hitting, wig splitting fun is packed into this game. The only thing that is really scaled down are the modes: instead of having 4 man free-for-alls, the PSP keeps things personal with 1 on 1 matches only. While this does hinder multiplayer (one of the best things is to team up with a best friend), keeping it personal and amping up the difficulty on the CPU ensures that you will have some memorable fights. And if you fight someone thaty kicks your gritz, you'll more than likely focus your energy on beating them- repeatidly.
The weapons, as well as the movesets, are all here and just as bone crunching as it's big brothers. Like Gamespot said in their review, some of these moves look and sound like they just hurt. Good fun!
All in all, I feel Def Jam is the best fighter available for PSP, as it is the only one that I still have that keeps me entertained for hours on end. Whether you like rap/wrestling/fighters- this game has all of those bases loaded. Do yourself, and your PSP available, and play one of the best fighters ever to grace any console!
Screw Def Jam Icon, THIS is how the game SHOULD BE!
