I had fun with this game. Being a big hip hop head i enjoyed playing through as some of the new faces aswell as the series vets. Didn't take too long to get used to the controls, wasn't really a lot there to worry about. A pretty simple fighting system compared to the games predecessors which were a lot more complex then this game.

Graphically the game is stellar, and a nice amp up for the games first go around on the next gen. The soundtrack was tight and sounded really well blended with the stage fx and action noises.

I beat the story mode in about a week, and really didnt have much desire to play through it again. For a one time go around, renting this would be a good idea. Although it was a blast to play through, i would have liked the game to be a little more complex, with more of a throwback to the old N64 wrestling games, like the other def jam games managed to do.

I gave this game a lower ranking then i would have liked. Great fun when going through the story mode, unless your into the multiplayer which i wasn't, the replay value on this game for me, settled this games score where it stands.
