About the Game
Def Jam Vendetta mixes wrestling moves with a story mode. Players get to step into the shoes of a new fighter trying to make a name for themselves. The game is set in the world of underground hip hop fighting. You battle against other characters, including real-life rappers, to become the top fighter.
Gameplay Basics
The game uses a fighting system where you can grab, punch, kick, and use special moves. Each character has unique moves that match their style. As you fight, you build up a special meter. When it's full, you can perform a powerful "Blazin' Move" to finish off your opponent. The game also has different arenas where fights take place, often with crowds cheering you on.
How it Was Made
The technology used to create Def Jam Vendetta was first planned for a different wrestling game. This was supposed to be a follow-up to EA's WCW Mayhem. However, EA lost the rights to WCW when the company was bought by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 2001. Because of this, EA decided to use the game engine for a new idea: a wrestling game featuring hip hop artists. This led to the creation of Def Jam Vendetta.
