Nothing says the police like a Lugz boot to the face of the local undercover law enforcement. Not only is the scenario ludicrous, but the cop is easily one of the easiest fights to deal with. The only entertaining bit of these scenes occur when the cops show up and you have to beat them in a fight. Hey, go get that fool for pushing mix-tapes at our club or Yo, that guy tagged our homeboys ride are pretty typical of what you will be dealing with. The only noticeable changes to the storyline, at least as far as presentation is concerned, is the lack of voice-acting in a huge majority of the story clips and the increased presence of the police.Īll of the story clips during the first half or so of the game involve going to a venue and beating down some guy in retribution for something he did. Gamers get to create a fighter and move up the food-chain in a local street gang, representing his colors by pummeling rival gang-members.

Fight for New York, its sequel, upped the ante considerably by morphing the game into a street-fighter/wrestler with five different fighting styles and the ability to customize your wrestler in many ways.ĭef Jam Fight for New York: The Takeover is essentially the same game as the console Fight for New York. Developed by the same team that did the excellent WCW wrestling titles on the N64, Def Jam was arguably the best wrestling title of its day. Rappers getting into the ring and settling the differences seemed like an iffy idea for a game at first, but she handled like a dream. I can remember the trip that I took to the local videogame shop to check out what was new and seeing Def Jam Vendetta for the first time.
