![]() It might seem odd to start a review of a fighting game with praising the story but while Def Jam Vendetta II stands out even today with its fighting mechanics and its unique vibe, it also has a surprisingly well-developed plot. But at that point you're likely to be so advanced in your stats you'll make easy work of them. And once it's over there's no point in going on unless your playing head to head with a pal. ![]() It took me just over a week to finish this game. No reason given for main characters motivations/involvement. No opportunity to customize player name, resulting in bland text when other fighters have cool fonts and logos. Weapons too difficult to pick up (if you stand over it and hit the pick-up button your character will often foolishly grab at a non-nearby opponent instead of the weapon). Massive range of clothing that differs little. The Cons: Incredibly linear story progression. Grim satisfaction in breaking an opponents bones. ![]() ![]() For those of you who like this simple form of gameplay I urge you to get this game above all. Def Jam gives us real, bloody, bone-crunching action with characters we know and recognize from real life. I'm so sick and tired of utterly endless Tekken/MK/Soul Caliber/etc variations with effects and moves that are far too fantastical. Once you finish Def Jam: Fight for NY there's not much reason to go back to it.
