In addition, the producers promised massive levels of interactivity within each environment. The environments includes rooftops, gas stations, two clubs, an Atlanta neighborhood, BET's 106 and Park stage, and other locales, as opposed to the wrestling ring's or arenas of the previous Def Jam titles. The developers aimed to make the music and the environment a much larger factor in the fight. Also, like Round 3, there is no in-game heads up display by default, encouraging the player to observe physical cues on in-game characters to determine their health, such as ripped and burned clothing, bruises, and an overall look of exhaustion of the opponent. Gameplay is similar to EA Chicago's Fight Night Round 3, featuring a focus on up-close brawling, mixing up high and low attacks, blocks, throws, and parries, and using the right analog stick to deliver stronger attacks. However, throws and environmental damage remain in the game.

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,īuilds his empire that is seen in Vendetta.Ĭharacter creation is still the same as of Def Jam: Fight NY: Takeover. The player decides to leave the underground fight scene for good.
