Beat em up with music in the background and a few flashy moves up it's sleeves ... but that's it.

User Rating: 7.5 | Def Jam: Icon PS3
If you liked playing the last Def Jam games on the Ps2 (vendetta and fight for ny) you might have been looking forward for this one, like I was. And if you liked playing the last Def Jam games on the PS2 ... you are going to be disappointed like I was.

The last Def Jam, Fight For NY had a unique fighting system. With move reversals, amazing grapples, techniques that you needed a time span to learn, and some flashy things like finishers and rage mode. This game has none, of that.

Down Points:
1. Controls are too lose. Mechanics just, don't have that feel that made fight for ny such a fun game.
2. No finishers. No other moves. The game seems like a low budget beat em up just made for itchy fingers that just wanted to hit them repeatedly.
3. Character models look rushed. The game feels as if it just wanted to cash in on the whole Hip Hop music scene. And it does, too.
4. No custom soundtrack for the ps3 !!

Good Points:
1. Hip Hop fans? This game is for you.
2. Like Beat em Ups? This game is for you.
3. Music Management system, a bit fun. Making money and dressing up your character, fun too.
