The game surprised a lot of people including those who didn't have much interest in playing wrestling games to begin with; Def Jam wasn't the expected minimal upgrade to Vendetta, it was a complete brand new game that completely changed how matches play out. Starring rappers, movie stars, celebrities and models, AKI took what made their WWF and WCW games so good and they changed it into a hard hitting fighter where KOs are everything. Pinning opponents is gone, you have to knock your opponent out or make them tap, and thanks to a new control scheme Def Jam Fight for NY was much more accessible to new players while also adding a ton of depth for those willing to stick with it. Receiving a ton of praise from the media and outscoring the WWF offerings at the time, there's a reason why so many people remember Fight for NY so fondly. The game was released on Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube, this video looks at the PS2 release while covering gameplay, story mode, and the roster. #Wrestling #RetroGaming
