Def Jam Vendetta

"Def Jam Vendetta=Hours of fun"

The game Def Jam Vendetta is one of the greatest wrestling games to ever hit any video game console in a long time. Everything about it is just simply great and mind blowing. Every feature in this game is incredible and deserves reckoning. There are several aspects we're here to discuss a couple of them just to show you how great this game really is.

Graphics 9/10 - The graphics in this game are incredible. From the clothing on the character models to the jewelry that some of them wear, the graphics are absolutely amazing and that is no exaggeration my friend. Even the jeans that some of the characters wear that are supposed to be baggy, well, really do look baggy! Even the faces on the character models look great and very accurate. Even the fingers on the characters look awesome, and that is a pretty hard thing to do for game makers! The arenas in this game are also extremely impressive and that, too, is a very hard thing to do because an arena in a wrestling video game requires a lot of detail and in depth features and the actual wrestling ring also requires a lot of detail. The graphics department gets a 9/10 from me.

Sound 10/10 - The sound in this game is just simply unreal and by unreal I mean unreal for a video game. From the music playing in the background to the sounds of the punches and kicks, the sound in this game is outstanding. The sound department is a very important part of every single game that hits the market and sometimes the sound in the game turns out to become a complete disaster. But in Def Jam Vendetta's case, the sound department can be considered easily a blessing. The roar of the crowd and the sounds of the character's voices when they speak are very clear and easy to understand. And the cut-scenes in the story mode also have excellent sound, and a story mode's sound takes a while to make and develop, and I personally give the game makers kudos for a job very well done. The sound in this game easily gets a straight up 10/10.

Game-play 10/10 - The game-play in the game Def Jam Vendetta is so convenient and easy to handle. Even the finishers are easy to pull off, which is usually an extremely tricky task to complete in most other wrestling video games, so the fact that the finishers, called Blazing moves in this game, are easy to do in this game is a big advantage for this game. The game-play in this game is very easy to comprehend and handle and for that I give the game-play in this game a 10/10 very easily.

Replay value 10/10 - The replay value in Def Jam Vendetta is extremely high in my opinion just because it's a very entertaining game in every aspect. If you don't find yourself going back to your Play Station two very often to play this game, I will honestly be pretty shocked because this game is very entertaining. Get on this game and you will definitely be on it for hours because it is hours and hours of fun, though it can be a bit challenging at times during exhibition and during story mode as well. Replay value gets a 10/10 from me.

Rent or buy BUY - This game is a very good game and very easy to comprehend and handle. And that's a very good thing for this kind of game because in every wrestling game controls are most often the most important thing in it because if it has terrible controls then it will be a very hard game to play. But in this case, the controls are awesome. Def Jam Vendetta is a truly awesome game and it is definitely in the purchase category.

Well, that's it. Hopefully you found this review to be helpful in your decision to purchase Def Jam Vendetta and maybe it didn't. If it did, that's cool and if it didn't then that's cool too because at least I tried. But, if you're looking for a video game that combines hip hop and wrestling in one video game, Def Jam Vendetta is the game to play because it does it perfectly.
