Wrestling Fight Def Jam NY

At first glance it’s just a port of the console version of Def Jam for New York. The animation, the graphics and even the voiceovers are the exact same. I bet you’re now thinking, but, what else could be different? Well I will tell you after this part regarding the graphics, animation and sounds.

The game's "Wrestling Fight Def Jam NY" story is a prequel to the main events.

The frame rate is up to scratch, no slow-down or even graphic lag. It’s fluid and looks really polished. The only thing that looks is the tattoo textures; they are blocky and seem that they haven’t paid attention to that part. That isn’t the game I know. I will point out all the imperfections and all the perfections I can.

Manny takes the player to gang leader O.G., who becomes his "mentor", who instructs him in how to fight to gain control of (take over) the five boroughs of New York City.

Eventually, O.G. is murdered by Crow, leaving D-Mob to step in and use the player as his number one fighter.

Ultimately, it is revealed that D-Mob was using the player to take over the five boroughs, controlling New York City's underground and that he was going to leave the player to take the fall, leading the police to his exact whereabouts.

After defeating D-Mob in the story's final battle, a one-on-one fight at the 125th Street Subway Station, the player decides to leave the underground fight scene for good.

It is safe to say that, since this is a prequel story, D-Mob recovers from the fight and, with nobody in New York to stop him, builds his empire that is seen in Vendetta.

Character creation is still the same as of Def Jam: Fight NY: Takeover.

Just like in the original, only male characters can be created.

You still create your character using the same type of police sketch-artist system.

A new addition is choosing your character's home town from one of the five boroughs of New York City.

From there, the game flows similarly to Fight for NY, featuring many of the same fighting arenas and shops with which to upgrade your character's clothing, jewelry, hair, and fighting moves.

For The Takeover, the story progresses through text and messages received on your character's Sidekick.

The train match is where you and your opponent fight in an underground subway and every so often a train comes whizzing by the platform. The beauty of this match is that you and your opponent can be fighting on the train tracks and both of you get knocked out, so it’s all about strategy. Beat down is just a 1 on 1 match where you beat the crap out of each other until one is knocked out.

Overall, the game is really good. Controls are a little bit fiddly to get used to if you have never played this series of games so far. So people returning to it will love it and for newcomers it is an experience.

The best fighting game is looking for, but all in all it makes a damn good fighter.
