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!

Finally, a wrestling game for the cube that has the same exact engine that WWF No Mercy had for the N64. This game is incredibly fun with tons of replay value. I just got it today and played it none stop for 3 hours. The controls are easy, unlike the other wrestling games that have come out of late. In fact, if you've played the N64 No Mercy game, then you'll be able to play right off the bat. There is no corny music while your playing (like other wrestling games have). In fact the background music consists of beats by the def jam artists that are featured in the game. So it is almost like listening to the radio while your playing your game. Anyways, the reason I'm writing this review is because if you're one of those people that was hoping that an updated version of No Mercy for the N64 would come to the cube like I was, then wait no more. Buy it now and have some fun!!

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.
