Def Jam Vendetta Hints XI (PS2)

Def Jam Vendetta is a videogame developed by Aki USA Inc. and published by Electronic Arts. It was created for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and for the GameCube, and launched in April 2003. The game is classed as an action title played from a third person perspective, and features a lot of wrestling matches.

Def Jam Vendetta, which is part of the Def Jam franchise, made a name in the gaming industry because it managed to mix wrestling mechanics with interesting characters. The title was not set to be a simulation of wrestling matches, focusing on the arcade element, outrageous moves, and appealing graphical elements.

The fighters featured in the game are very interesting, with all the artists who worked for the Def Jam Recordings label making an appearance. While playing, you can fight with: DMX, Ludacris, Method Man, N.O.R.E., Redman, Scarface, WC, Ghostface Killah and others. There are some 40 playable characters in the game, and they can perform around 1,500 moves. The main idea is to acquire the money and the power needed to get respect in the underground wrestling business. The game has a cinematic story mode and an arcade fighting mode.

Def Jam Vendetta got pretty favorable reviews from the gaming press but until now the franchise has received no new entries.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy money

Go to survival mode and win it undefeated a few times. You will get about $25,000 each time you win with an undefeated record.

Spider works the best for this technique. Have two controllers and choose battle mode, then 1 on 1. Choose Spider as player one and anyone else as player two. Points for moves will decrease if used repeatedly, though they will give you the same amount of points if you use five different moves in between them. The fastest way to earn points is to start off with soft grapple corner move, then a hard grapple corner move, then while they are down, jump off the turnbuckle, then hard grapple (Left + X), hard grapple (Left + Square), soft grapple (Square), soft grapple (Up + Square), soft grapple (Down + Square), soft grapple (Left + Square), rear soft grapple (X), hard grapple (Left + X), and hard grapple (Left + Square). Repeat this as many times as desired, although it is the most time efficient if you do this once, use your finisher, then repeat from the top.
