a5c7b9f00b Incorporates hip-hop culture and lifestyle. This Def Jam fighting game series delivers the intensity of a no-holds-barred street fight but with style and rhythm. Music effects how players fight in each venue and environmental interactions.
Def Jam Icon is one of the shallowest games I've played in years and is highly repetitive and boring.<br/><br/>You get to create what your character looks like but you have to be male and you must be some shade of black/mixed. This character then goes through the trials and tribulations of becoming a big-shot music producer and you fight your way through all the confrontations in between.<br/><br/>Sounds like it might make a good game but it's VERY linear and pretty much every decision you make in the management half of the game has little or no effect on anything. How good would it be to download your own tunes onto the PS3 and mix them into new tracks for the game? Tough, you can't.<br/><br/>There are about 10 different environments to fight in but they all get rather tiresome after the millionth battle and there are never any really cool moments when you interact with the crumbling area. Def Jam Icon is all flash and no substance I'm afraid, I actually liked Def Jam Fight for NY a lot better.<br/><br/>Graphics B Sound B Gameplay C Lasting Appeal D-
The other day I was at FYE looking for a new game for the 360. i came across Def Jam Icon and didn't know what it was about. So I read the back of the box and was convinced to buy it. That day when I got home, I put it in and experienced one of the greatest games ever. The story is simple, your a record producer who signs artists upon you bosses request. You can be the manager of artists such as, Lil' John, Mike Jones, Ludicrous, Jim Jones, and more. The graphics are awesome and so is the game play. the environments in which you fight all have hazards that you can throw your opponent into. Such as a gas station, if you can pull it off, you can throw your opponent into a gas tank and have it explode throwing him in the air. The controls are also easy to get used to. The only downside of this game is the fact that Jim Jones "We FLy High" plays one too many times. but other than that this game kicks ass. I highly recommend buying it.
