Meh rent it first.
-Gameplay-
*sigh* the gameplay is pretty much the same but the all important blaze moves are gone. Your stuck with either a custom character with a set fighting style or a game character (T.I , Ludacris ,Etc.) with a similar set style.The fighting is well.. Dull... You fight to the beat of the music that sets off the various environmental elements (Cars,Hydrants, and a Helicopter tail of death). Sure , you can set off the elements you self by scratching the song but there nothing else thats extravagant. Disappointing.
6/10
-Visual-
I'll give it up to Def Jam for the beautiful visuals of the characters. They looks exactly like the artist they are supposed to resemble. Also the character creation is also very top notch.The many fighting uhh"Arenas?" are also very nicely made and polished(till they blow up and hurt you and your opponent). 8/10
-Audio-
I can't give a score for sound since I'm deaf so.
-Online-
The games gameplay being disappointing as it is, made no one want to try to go online and play.You may get one guy trying to do it for the achievements but other than that, theres no one wanting to go toe to toe with you at all.
4/10
-Overall-
Well, playing this game for about a week and screaming Ballin countless times, I came to the conclusion that this game was utterly mangled by either rushing the production or no thought at all in the fighting system. Only thing I got to say this , is R.I.P Def Jam.I will be sure to Etch "Just Blaze" On the tombstone, cause you been without blaze for a whole game and it killed you.
6.5/10
