Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)From an older gamer Def Jam's Fight For New York was a breath of fresh air on the standard fight game scene.I am too old to memorize the obscenely complex patterns of the Old School Mortal Kombat games, and Killer Instinct and all that ensuing madness. Fight For New York reminds me of the simple controls of the original Street Fighter series.Punch, Kick, Grapple, and a couple of Blazin moves to remember was pretty much it for basic game-play.
The game i think really shines in Story mode pitting you as the hero working for the big, bad Big Guy D-Mob trying to beat down D-Mob's biggest foe Crow, and his countless Hip Hop soldiers.I am unfamiliar with the previous game but i did read that D-Mob is a carry over from Vendetta.Creating your own figher is fun, and i think really helps to immerse the player into the game.You can outfit with him with all sorts of real world fashions (all the stuff i can't afford, and couldn't pull off anyway), jewelry, haircuts, and tattoos.I think that had to be a large portion of the appeal of this game the buying and wearing of the supercool gear.Not mention the satisfying feeling of delivering a perfectly timed, and exectued Blazin' move to achieve a K.O.
I was able to finish the game in 6 hours, and found it VERY satisfying even though the end scene feels a tad rushed, and could have been fleshed out just a little more.I am not well versed in the genre but i believe that from other reveiwers that this game is a Who's Who of the Hip Hop culture though i am a HUGE fan of Henry Rollins who plays himself as your personal trainer (nice touch Henry, thank you!!)
My only complaint, and as minor as it is I think it is worth mentioning just for a second.The language is very strong, and while i don't have a problem with it.I am sure that it will turn some people purple with rage, and hope that it does not start some sort of new video game ratings craze similar to the GTA phenom, but then any publicity is good publicity.EA could have offered a toggle for language, but other then that.I think that it is a great game, and well worth the time, and money spent.
Great Graphics
Great Soundtracks
Great bare-knuckled fight action
Solid A++ for the fan of the Fighting Game Genre
