Wrestling + Rap = Success? | Def Jam: Vendetta (PS2) Review - HazyGray

After trying and failing to make a WCW game due to the meddling of the WWF, AKI Corporation had to make a wrestling game without a roster. How did they pull it off? Very damn well, apparently.

Still better then WWE games

[@HazyGray]

It really is THAT GOOD!

[@MusicAddict9228]

I don't know if it's still better than here comes the pain though it's close though well the second one is fight for New York

[@TopDogAnubis9047]

@@HazyGray fight for New York is gangsta, I still play it on my ps3 💯

[@YassineTorchani-dc2cm]

While Mortal Kombat is one of the bloodiest franchise, Def Jam is the one of most painful franchises

[@YassineTorchani-dc2cm]

It turns out, the game was developed by AKI and EA Canada

[@crissayago6070]

My mains were WC Method Man & Redman D-Mob Ghostface DMX Scarface

[@Spyke7566]

If you know something about def jam there was a Japan exclusive of this game with two characters including in this game in Japan named Dabo And S-Word

[@k2txmes343]

DMX was my favorite too! 😭🔥

[@HazyGray]

DMX was the man. May he rest in piece. 🕊️

[@EEEliminator]

[@HazyGray]

[@blairbailey6199]

I like this game better then Fight for New York only thing I like better in fight for New York better is the Roster but I do like both game's.

[@YassineTorchani-dc2cm]

If we ever get a new Def Jam game, then I'd love to see characters' moveset (including Blazin' Moves) with command inputs, like in general fighting games

[@dontzgamezonline3749]

Those 3 are annoying back in the day ngl. Great minds think alike (9:14)

[@lpbbinc]

Actually mayhem came out before backstage assault. Mayhem was decent-ish, backstage assault is the one everyone hates.

[@HazyGray]

Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to do more research next time. 😅

[@lpbbinc]

@@HazyGray I spent sooo much time on wrestling games in that era lol. I actually played through backstage assault. It used the same engine as mayhem, but somehow got worse in every way imaginable

[@NOVA-vz5fi]

Hey could you review the ps2 game URBAN REIGN please

[@HazyGray]

If I get the chance, sure.
