Def Jam: Fight for NY continues the story from the first game while adding in new characters, venues, and gameplay elements.
Overview
Def Jam: Fight for NY is the second game in the Def Jam series of fighting games and is the sequel to Def Jam Vendetta. It was released in 2004 for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube. Unlike most fighting games, the majority of characters in the game are famous hip hop musicians, along with various other actors and celebrities. The story picks up from the very end of the previous game, with the player creating a new character that helps D-Mob, originally the main villain in the first game, as they attempt to rebuild their crew to become the top underground fighting crew in New York City.Gameplay
Unlike the first game, which was predominantly a wrestling game, Def Jam: Fight for NY falls under the genre of a 3D street brawler. Fights take place between 2 to 4 characters, and are fought in various types of arenas. In all these arenas, the environment can be used to damage your opponent(s). Players can also use weapons such as baseball bats and crowbars to add even more damage to their opponent. The finishing moves from the first game, called "blazin' moves", are used whenever the player fills up their meter, and if their opponent has very low damage, it can win them the fight with an instant knockout. Each character in the game has their own unique blazin' move, and created characters can have up to four to use, though they cannot be created and can only be other character's moves.Fighting Styles
There are five unique fighting styles in the game: street fighting, kick boxing, martial arts, wrestling, and submissions. With these styles, no two characters fight exactly the same, and the character that the player creates can use up to three at a time in order to make their own unique fighting style.Artists
There are several hip hop musicians and various other celebrities featured in the game. Most of them play versions of themselves, though many of the main characters in the game use different names. For example, Method Man plays a character named Blaze, while Fat Joe plays a character named Crack. The following a list of all of the celebrities in the game:- Baby Chris
