  • Dive into Def Jam: Fight for New York - The sequel to Vendetta as we take a look at the things that made the game so special to so many people. As always, my videos are more of a "my experience" type of content than a real review, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

    To add context to how the series came to be: Vendetta in its initial stages was a proper wrestling game for the now defunct World Championship Wrestling promotion since EA had the license at the time and two games were released beforehand (Mayhem and the infamously bad Backstage Assault). After WCW would close in 2001, rather than scrapping the game, the game would evolve into what we know it as today, big name rappers in a wrestling ring.

    This should be in a museum, showing that the ephemeral lawlessness of the early 2000s was no joke.

    I’ve never really played fighting games my whole life. Truth be told I’m absolutely garbage at them. But despite that I’ve put countless hours into FFNY. The premise, art style and soundtrack are enough to keep me coming back to this game religiously and that’s all on top of the actual fighting mechanics themselves

    Vendetta's thing was that it was still a wrestling game which Fight for New York proceeded to loosen up. Glad it gets love regardless.

    there is actually a fighting game tournament in Florida that has FFNY as a part of its game roster. The commentators are top tier for the game calling and fit so well.
    Also, Sticky FIngaz is the most busted character in the game cuz his hitbox extends a bit farther out than other characters. Redman can literally combo u to death with 2 punches, stopping for a second and then resuming the combo followed by either a flying kick or a wall grab. Its pretty insane how much cheese some top tier characters have

    This series (minus Icon) were great! I remember having a friend in high school that had some "connections." and he was able to get me a copy of Def Jam Vendetta on release day for $20. I have had so much fun with this game over the years; Vendetta is top 10 all time for me because of the memories playing it. FFNY is a great game too, and it came out when I had first joined the US Air Force and had more money to spend, so it was a day one purchase for me that I still own the same copy to this day! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

    Played this so much in my youth that I'm suprised I never wore it out. I remember reading recently that the PSP version Take Over I think was called? Could combine the same fight style more than once so there were so many style combinations to play with out of the 3 choice limit.
    Though the PSP version had some content cut for limitations it would have been great to do the same in the original.

    I made AT LEAST 100 fighters since then, and completed the campaign 100% with 80 to 90% of them.

      Addendum: one of the voices you can pick for your character is Eminem, with another name in some credits. So you can drop Snoop Dog from a Building with a kickboxing Slim Shady.
