"Great Story, Great Graphics, Horrible Gameplay"

User Rating: 5 | Def Jam: Icon PS3

I was so excited when I knew this game was coming. I was amazed by the Def Jam Fight for New York, I thought that this game was going to be great, just like its previous entry.
What a surprise! It completely sucks! Gameplay is absolutely boring.
Slow is the keyword, and to make the game more boring you can't run. You'll get desperate when you try to punch the opponent but you find out you are too far away to do that. And to make the game slower, the loading times are long when you are choosing the fighter. The game is just stupid. The defense is cool yet a little bit complicated.
But hey at least the story is cool, and graphics are nice.But you know a game is nothing if the gameplay is bad, just like this. The customization of clothes is very interesting, I had fun customizing my character to make look like a gangsta or cholo xD
The game is not that easy, but you can beat it without changing your fighting style, that's another thing, in Def Jam Fight for New York you needed to combine your fighting styles to make you a best fighter, but in this game there's no neccessity. The roster is not that cool, there are rappers like T.I. and Lil Jon that are great but there are very few rappers, the roster is small compared to its antedeccesor. Finally, this game doesn't worth 20, not even 10 dollars, it's mediocre. If you still want to have a fighting game related with rappers, buy Def Jam Fight for NY, it doesn't matter that is older, believe me, is 10 times better than this one.
