One of the most addictive brawlers of all time,over 40 hip hop stars,intense story which revolves around Your character!
With massive household names like snoop dogg,Ice T,Ludacris,Xzibit,Busta rythmes,memphis bleek and many many more artists,the game holds a great deal of potential favourite and most loathed artists featured in the game, as you battle through story mode paticularly,you will become very frustrated with names such as "sean paul" and "crack" as they pose great challenge ans are very hard to beat.
The story itself sees you (your custom created character) fighting your way up from the underdog,working for D Mob after rescuing him from jail and being accepted into his gang.
you must fight to take over clubs all around new york and to try and put crows gang out of business, with a few plot twists,which can, be a bit obvious as to how they will go at times, the story is an in depth one of venegance,retribution and sometimes heartache as your character struggles in their quest to become the ultimate fighter and defeat crows gang once and for all.
The create a fighter,while not as complex as some,seems to actually create a likeness to people that isnt too sketchy, and the customization of your character can be great fun as you progress. there are over 800 items of clothing,jewelry,tatoos,and haircuts to buy and use at your leisure,and also the gym system of the game which allows you to bring your stats up to 100% and buy all of the finishing moves *please note that i play this game on hard mode and easy may not allow you to fill all skill bars to 100% and or buy every blazing move in the game*
Overall this game is a fun ,long,in depth and gruesome portrail of the fictional underground fighting ring hosted by the hip hop artists of today.
but i feel that it is a great game for the graphics,the sound,the gameplay and the value for money. i give it a 9.9.
