Storyline

At the conclusion of the big fight in Def Jam Vendetta, D-Mob, the gangster who controlled the New York underground, was arrested. His arrest is shortlived, however, as a young punk (the player) busts D-Mob out of police custody on his way to jail. But on the street, reputation and respect are everything, and D-Mob lost both. Another gangster by the name of Crow is muscling in on D-Mob's New York turf. The only way to get it back is to fight for it, in the clubs, the streets, the alleys and the basements. There's no holds barred and no holding back in the Fight for New York.

User Reviews

Not bad... and it reintroduced me to rap.

I've just recently played this game, and there are so many reasons to like it.

First of all, the moves and environments rock! I've never seen a game where you can plow a dude's face into the wall for a finisher... that's pretty good.

Also, all the music and all the celebrity voices brought back the main reason that I enjoyed listening to rap: brutal honesty.

Finally, the fact that you can keep changing the look of your character is incredible... if only I had that kind of ability. It's like, I have a bald head and all of a sudden, I have a huge head of dreadlocks... that'd be cool.

Of course, the game is not without its flaws: trying to pick up a weapon is no easy task. You have to stand at just the right position to do it.

Not only that, but as much as I love the free for all matches, it's hard to turn the other way and attack.

Finally, to cap off this review, this game gets a 9.5 out of 10.
