As many of the other reviews reveal this game has fantastic graphics, wonderful music and a huge variety of underground fighting moves. Let's concentrate on the feel of the game: fighting in the ring is intense ... super intense. It's extremely painful when your opponent puts you in a grapple trying to break your will so you'll submit. You have to push the button to get out of it ... and it feels like time is moving at a crawl. I actually can't play for awhile, my wrist is hurting so much from desperately trying to get out of these holds. Also, the feeling of getting beaten down when multiple opponents team up on you can be extremely humbling -- not to mention the demoralization you feel when someone knocks you out with a special move after getting the crowd behind him. The soundtrack really adds to the excitement and winning a match is extremely gratifying after all the hard work you spend wearing your opponent(s) down. EA Big really impresses with this one!

I loved WCW vs. NWO and WWF No Mercy for N64. Both were wresting games, which were incredibly simple, incredibly fun and incredibly deep all at the same time. There were countless moves, characters and you just couldn't play them too much. If you're like me and loved those games, Def Jam Vendetta is definitely what you've been waiting for. The game comes so close to the aforementioned games, its amazing. All the button combinatinons are exactly the same. The incredible fun is also still there. But as though this wasn't enough, the extras are even better. The bone-crunching moves in this game are simply jaw-dropping. The overall gameplay is just fantastic. The graphics are great, the soundtrack is excellent and the cinemas are also great. Being a big fan of hip-hop myself, the hip-hop implementation is a huge plus for me. There could be a few more options (such as disabling rope break) and there are less modes than many other wrestling games, but they aren't missed terribly. If you have any interest in wrestling games, any interest in hip-hop, or better yet, an interest in both, stop reading this and JUST GO AND BUY IT!!

this game is awsome. there's a lot of characters to pick, cool knockout moves , and rap characters are in it too like method man , redman, keith murray, WC,n.o.r.e, and more!some people said they should put more rap artists in the game like 50 cent, eminem,and,p. diddy, but HELLO! It's called DEF JAM VENDETTA, that mean only made up characters and rap artists from DEF JAM!This is a "must have" game.
