#Dj def jam fight ny for series#

Here are 20 current rappers who should be fitted for tights immediately for our imagined Def Jam Vendetta Reboot. Def Jam: Fight for NY, the second game in the Def Jam series of fighting games, is the sequel to Def Jam: Vendetta. The game features an all-new fighting engine including weapons, interactive environments, and five unique fighting styles that can be combined to form dozens of customized hybrid styles for the ultimate. The fact that the game was a commercial flop didn't stop EA games from releasing two sequels: the more generally favored Def Jam: Fight for NYВ ( memorable for the inclusion of Carmen Electra as a playable fighter) and the most recent Def Jam: Icon (which was visually engaging, but an overall lackluster release thanks to an almost non-existent level of consistencyВ in the game's mechanics).Дў013 marks the ten-yearВ anniversary of the release of Def Jam Vendetta and we deserve better. The ultimate hip-hop fueled fighting game, Def Jam: Fight for NY challenges players to step into the shoes of a ruthless street fighter battling for control of New Yorks hip-hop underground. DMX, Method Man, N.O.R.E, Keith Murray, and Funkmaster Flex were a small sampling of the rappers featured in the rushed EA title.

A widely panned critical failure, the game's engine was originally meant to be used as a sequel toВ EA's WCW Mayhem, but EA lost the WCW license, and Def Jam Records saw the chance to diversify their holdings by licensingВ out their roster of hip hop performers. It's no surprise that these overlapping modes of expression were so perfectly crystalized with the release of 2003's Def Jam Vendetta.
