a let down in the series
User Rating: 5 | Def Jam: Icon X360
read this review carefully. this game has some pros with a lot of cons. the pros are that this game has an innovative story line that has you actually using business and marketing skills witch is actually new and loads of fun. being able to sign major artists to your label as you are a record producer in this one. the problem is that the controls take a while to get use to and although the new innovative turn table is a cool idea it takes away from the fighting of the game. this game as much as i hate to do this you have to compare it to the predecessors such as def jam and fight for new york. the character creation in this is pretty good but the lack of characters in the stable is a huge dissapointment considering the last one had like 80 cool rappers and even actors. even if this game had only 40 rappers instead of 20 it would have been worth it, but the fighting and gameplay in the fight system is much to be desired. this one had so much potential and was a huge let down. if you have to play it then rent it but thats it. go to the original xbox or even ps2 version and get fight for new york and you will be completely satisfied.
