i was a fan of def jam for ps2 and i was really looking forward for this games,  it has let me down big time.  is a completely different game than what i remember.   i was happy with street hoop demo,  it was brilliant,  but EA  mess up big time with this game

its far too dependent on the music, you can rewind and fast forward music in the demo, it also uses the right analouge stick to throw power punches and throws but, it is poor, NBA homecourt was crap too

I haven't checked it out yet but your 'review' of it kind of took away my excitement, oh well.

I wish I was around my 360 right now to try out the Icon demo.  I will check it out in the next few weeks when I return but I agree that I also thought Homecourt wasn't that good.

what's a "completly developer" ? well..., nevermind.

Whith the due respesct I don't pay much attention to this kinda "reviews" anymore, I rather discuss it with people I allready know (no offense). 'Cos nowdays I see only (and for every platform) just negative news about games, it's very rare to see a new thread saying "the game XXX is tottaly cool!", you just hear "meh", not worth it", "those were the days", "Pac-Man!!!! that was a game, Gears sucks!".

So..., sorry I'm can't credit you, but I won't say it that you wrong either, I just see a trend in all this "old-timers" speech.

Yea the new developer ruined Def Jam! Fight For NY was da bomb cause it was fast paced. No Icons is just slower and more traditional!

I wont buy it because it is too music dependant and a little bit sluggish I think.But for what it is..........it's great.The people that are into that type of game should be happy.

I Think I'm Going To pass On this one......Man I loved the others so much ...the Fighting system , the usage of the backgrounds......but this is a Totally different game, and I new they were going in a different direction when they didn't use the AKI system......but damn.. Hopefully its not part of the VenDette series.... ICON spin-off.....spint me OFF! I've played the demo.....Its all Flash for now...buttons suck.....Whoever tests these out should have told them about this craptitude...or they need new focus groups.......Will be renting..... BUT try it for yourself....

Never played the old Def Jam's so I cant compare it, but I do know crap when I play it and this is definately a big pile of elephant turds.

i dont understand why they gotta change the game man, Fight for NY was freakin awesome, i still play it. Icon sure does have better graphics and seems like its got potential but...i was watching the movies and i thought "...this looks like its gonna get boring after awhile" i need to try the Demo out, same goes to homecourt...i mean i need to try out the demo first haha.

I feel the same. The gameplay is so slow and the demo is so short. The sweet thing about Fight for NY was all the diff fightstyles that each fighter got and the fighting was fast and sweet. I was going to pick up this but after playing it I will pass.

guess im the only one who appreciates it then...its okay, gotta master thosee controls first, not as good as the others, but play it a few times; like i said its okay....the dj thing is alright i guess....when the fights get heated towards the end, when u change the song and all the fire, kinda adds an epic fell o the fight...i dont know maybe its just me....i also loved the AKI system, that woulda been awesome seeing that go "next gen"...

i messed around with the demo for a while and i gotta say i like the Fight Night-esque controls and the turntable gimmick is pretty cool once you get hold of it all i can see why some people dont like the demo at all and thats because they just arent skilled enough...thats the only explanation

How the hell do people keep finding these years-old topics just to revive them? I know, I know, I'm adding to it by posting this. But serously, the last post was over 2 YEARS AGO!!! Just let the topic die, please.
