Def Jam: Icon (PS3)

The Game 'Def Jam: Icon' is the third game in this beat'em up series and it was released in March 2007 by EA. It was released on both the Playstation 3 and the XBOX 360. The unique feature of the Def Jam series is it's roster which features actual Hip Hop acts. Characters Something I really credit Def Jam for this year is getting a great roster of Hip Hop artists, in past editions they where heavily concerned with primarily using Def Jam recording artists to brawl with, but since they have expanded beyond this, it opens many more opportunities for the audience. I have to list all of them to ... more

Well I wont say that this is a mistake bye but I bought this because of the delay of my favorite beat em up which is the tekken game mode. I think that the tekken dark resurrection made a lot of delays before hitting the market. Not only tekken other beat em ups have delayed a lot. I have gotten the game already so I have to stick to it in order to make out new things from the game. I have no other alternative and luckily, I am a hip-hop fan so that is nice. The game has kept me busy for quite some time because of the hip-hop music. Not that the fighting game technique is that fantastic but ... more

I can't say I expected much from this game, mainly because I follow underground hip hop and hate most of the comercial music that most of the artists on the game make. Secondly a load of rappers fighting each other is just a bit sad, look at me i'm such a hard man rapper e.t.c. Ignoring all this I decided to play the game as if it was just a straight out fighter. The graphics I have to say are stunning the sound is also good, interactive backgrounds with things blowing up when you are thrown into them. Unfortunatly for me this is where the excitement stopped, the fighting is very wooden and ... more

Awful Awful Awful!!! Very disappointed with this game!! It only cost me £20 brand new but still felt that I was ripped off! You start off where, as usual you have a choice of characters to choose from, which there is a few who are the stars of the Def Jam Record label then you move on to fight!! Graphics aren't that good but the music is great as it's all pretty new Hip Hop music which appeals to me but then there's the gameplay!! That's when it gets ugly!! There are very few moves to use when you are fighting which is very poor for a fighting game, it's very slow and you don't have a health ... more

This game is well addictive. I've only had it a couple of days but its the only game i keep playing. A good point about the game is that it is not a repetitive game and you need to keep using different moves to try and win. The objective of the game is to become an ICON to do this you have to sign artists and keep them happy, by keeping them happy they produce songs for you which then you advertise and stuff trying to make as much as money as possible and turn the records gold, palinum, multiplatinum etc, but advertising costs you money, so you have to spend money to make more money. You keep ... more
