Def Jam Vendetta FFNY Toughens Up
Several new screenshots and some character renders show that Fight for New York is looking as good as any other 3D fighter you could possibly mention...!
Check out these latest screens from EA's Def Jam Vendetta: Fight For New York. Easily the best released to date, the screens show how visually impressive the sequel is shaping up, positioning the game higher on the interest radar of beat-'em-up fans in general - not just Def Jam devotees.
The sequel features more than 70 characters, including more than 35 of the most renowned artists and personalities in hip-hop today, including Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, Slick Rick, Snoop Dogg, Carmen Electra (hmmm) and many more.
Some nice new character renders have been released as well - vitally, including Miss Electra.
The game will challenge players to step into the shoes of a ruthless NYC street fighter battling for control of the hip-hop underground. The game features an all-new fighting engine allowing gamers to customize multiple fighting styles as the new immersive story mode takes the action from the ring to the streets.
DJVFFNY is being developed by EA Canada in conjunction with Japan-based AKI Corporation and will ship later this year. Stay tuned for more, and check related articles for previous coverage including a video lurking somewhere.
