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
Recommended characters
The best character to start off the game is Spider, because of his strength and defense. He is also an excellent submissionist, which is useful when you are facing someone fast, such as Ludacris, and someone with charisma, such as N.O.R.E. and the 3 on 1 handicap match you will have later. The recommended characters from best to worse are Spider, Briggs, Tank, and Proof.
The easiest way to complete the game is with Briggs. As you get money, put most of it on Power, Defense, and Grapple. This is the easiest way to make people lose health quickly. With Briggs, the best way to knockout an opponent is to use his Blazin move from behind.
When playing survival mode, choose WC. He is a great person to use because of his power and defense. After you select him and when you are fighting, just use his strong attacks. Pick your opponent up and do another one. After about five choke slams and three pile drivers, he will be ready for Blazin mode. Go behind your opponent and use his Blazin move there. Your opponent will be K.O.ed. Keep repeating this strategy, and after ten matches, you will have about $30,000 to spend.
