Too Easy

I give this game an 8 out of 10 for 2 things. 1. The game play is one of the most creative I've ever seen... And 2. It has a soundtrack that would blow any and everybody's roof top off. But the negative which brought the game to an 8... Just like my title the game is "TOO EASY"!!! I recieved the game on March 13th and played all the way to today just half an hour each day and just a little while ago I finished it. So thats four days I played this game. So if your a excellent gamer I advice to have a good game right after this one in your "Game Q" because it should be delievered to your house real soon.

The next-gen fighting game, Def Jam Icon differs from the rest, it has its own unique gameplay, no more wrestling, but all out brawling. The build a label mode is a great new mode, as you rise from an young talent into a huge producer, it adds its own unique style and it is very fun to play, but it only clocks in about 4-5 hours.

Gameplay is somewhat sluggish and fustrating at times, but it is still a blast to play. There are about 6 different fighting styles and they all have thier special moves and speed movement. The animation is smooth, but you will see some jumpy textures, but still great. Nothing to really say about online except that it can be laggy at times.

The graphics are unbelievable as all the rappers looks like themselves, EA got everything to thier own style of clothing and stance. Background is very "colorful" as the musics plays the backgrounds move with it, making the background a must see.

Sound is unbelievable, if you are a rap fan, you will most likely know all the songs, as EA picked the most known songs to date. The explosions are sounds pretty good and the voice acting are superb.

Overall this is a excellent game, maybe a rent for non-rap fans, but a buy for the people who love rap and love easy to learn gameplay.
