And it’s not just about the winning. After all, it’s about making a rep for yourself, and humiliating your opponent with killer moves. Def Jam VENDETTA features over 1,500 unique moves including a variety of fighting techniques (reverse kicks, punches, martial arts swings, choke holds, elbow blocks, knee bunts, etc.) and hyper realistic EA SPORTS BIG-style moves that are dynamic with realistic finesse and style.
Players also test their skills and determination in Exhibition Mode or choose a character and run the gauntlet, taking on all comers in Survival Mode. There are four match types to choose from including Single Match where you can play 1-on-1 against the computer or a friend; Tag Team play in which you and a partner can go against another two-person team; Free For All where you can jump in the ring with up to four players with no holds barred, no allies and no mercy; and Handicap where you can prove your skill by taking on two or three opponents at once.
Def Jam VENDETTA marks the first interactive entertainment title from EA and Def Jam Records, and fully integrates a powerhouse roster of Def Jam artists into the storyline, including new hit songs from the artists, as well as classic Def Jam tracks. Each artist contributes one original introduction and victory sequence incorporating their own voice and motion. Artists participating in the game include DMX, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, NORE, Scarface, Ghostface Killah, Capone, Keith Murray and WC. The game also features Def Jam songstress Christina Milian and the world famous DJ Funkmaster Flex.
Developed by renowned AKI Corporation and the award-winning EA Canada creative team responsible for NBA Street, Def Jam VENDETTA takes two cutting-edge interactive gaming teams and ties it all together with creative input from the most sought after hip hop lifestyle company of all time, Def Jam.
Def Jam VENDETTA is due for release on PS2 and Gamecube in Spring 2003.

Hip-Hop and computer fighting games eh? Remember that vaguely OK Activision scripted Wu fighting game on the Playstation where you could pick your favourite clan member and get the crap beaten out of? Well there's another on it's way in the next couple of months, this one featuring music and guest appearances from the Def Jam roster...Meth and Ghostface Killah get their 2nd incarnation in a game but this time you put them up against Ludacris and Redman in a WWF tag team styly... here's the press release:
Def Jam VENDETTA challenges you to brawl your way up the ranks to be the ultimate fighter. Players are challenged to test their skills through an arcade-style, underground fight club circuit as they attempt to totally crush their opponents. With each win the player gains more money, more power and of course… more respect.
Players work the circuit while encountering an array of characters - both friends and foes across over 10 highly detailed underground hip-hop venues, like DMX’s Junkyard and Scarface’s Speakeasy, each filled with animated crowds, sick beats and pure adrenaline. Multiple features support a fresh mix of gameplay experiences leading to the ultimate showdown, in which players get to settle a very old and personal score with their worst enemy, the powerful D-Mob.
