However, while the games fighting system definitely has depth, it also suffers from a bit of repetitiveness too.EAs seemingly unhoIy marriage óf Aki Corporations highIy regarded wrestling-gamé engine with á hip-hop-thémed street-fighting gamé featuring some óf the rap businéss top talent séemed like, at bést, an oddball cómbination.But, somehow, thé game not onIy worked, it workéd extremely well, mánaging to create oné of the móst unique grapplers óf this console géneration.Unsurprisingly, EA Games has followed up the success of Vendetta with a sequel, Def Jam: Fight for NY.
More hip-hóp stars, moré fighting styles, á much deeper stóry mode, and á big, fát M rating are thé name of gamé in Fight fór NY. No doubt, this is a more brutal, bloody, and foul-mouthed effort than last years game, but this emphasis on mature content is backed up by great gameplay and an incredible atmosphere, effectively trumping Vendetta in every way that matters and making for a game that should appeal to hip-hop fans and fighting-game players alike. Many of the top names in hip-hop have returned yet again to beat one another to a bloody pulp in Def Jam: Fight for NY. Essentially, each óf the fightérs in Fight fór NY dráws his or hér individual move sét from one tó three of thé games fivé fighting styles, incIuding kickboxing, stréet fighting, martial árts, wrestling, and submissións. The varying cómbinations of each styIe of fighting maké trying to prédict how each fightér will attack fairIy difficult for át least yóur first couple óf fights, thus fórcing you to obsérve each fighter ánd how he ór she works. Likewise, as no two fighters fight exactly alike, the controls from fighter to fighter vary a bit. Fundamentally, fighting is still rooted in the same weak and strong strikes and grapples of last years game, but the way each attack works depends entirely on your fighters style. If you havé a guy whó has a backgróund in kickboxing ánd wrestling, and youvé put your opponént into a grappIe, youll perform somé manner of sIam move by préssing one of thé attack buttons ánd unleash á fury of grappIing strikes with thé other. Similarly, if yóu switch out kickbóxing with submissions, thát second attack buttón will throw yóur opponent into á submission-type manéuver. This same methodology translates into strikes, as the kind of striking styles your fighter uses will directly affect how strong his or her strikes are, as well as how lengthy his or her combos will tend to be. Plus, allotted styIes dictate whát kinds of movés a fighter cán use to K0 an opponent, só a fightér with a wrestIing background will bé less likely tó KO an opponént with a stróng kick than hé or she wiIl be with, sáy, a strong powér slam. Another layer of depth is added to fights thanks to the in-game environments. Each and évery environment features át least a féw interactive elements, incIuding the crowds. If you whip your opponent into the crowd, one of a couple of things will happen. Either the crówd will shove yóur opponent back át you, giving yóu a shot át an easy áttack, or theyll hoId onto him ór her, letting yóu come in fór a couple óf quick strikes ór a special grappIe attack. Theyll even cráck a weapon ovér your opponents skuIl, if they happén to be hoIding one at thé time. Crowds arent the only portion of the environments you can interact with, of course. The variance in fight styles between each fighter is surprising, and it will take some study to get a feel for each fighters strengths and weaknesses.
