Def Jam Fight for NY review

Fight for NY

Fight for NY is the sequel to last year's hip-hop wrestling title Def Jam Vendetta. This time around, Aki has added a classic fighting-genre dimension, but the grappling system remains the key to bringing blazin' amounts of pain. The roster is perhaps the most impressive aspect of the package, featuring over 70 fighters (more than 40 of which are real-life celebrities), including Snoop (or 'Crow') your nemesis in story mode. And speaking of the story, "Fight for NY's story is better than Fable's" (IGN). Believe it or not, this game could be a legitimate contender if not for spotty framerate and camera issues, not to mention no online support. Still, it's worth a play, especially if you've got some friends around.
