alamak.. wat happened to the def jam series? they totally changed it ka? damn slow if u ask me.. feels like fight night round3.. i've always been a fan of def jam series.. frm def jam: vendetta, def jam: fight for new york.. i prefer fight for new york better.. storyline & gameplay.. & the music on it was phat! haha.. hopefully this one wont disappoint me.. hopefully they still include playaz like busta rhymes, ludacris, snoop dogg, xzibit, manny, fat joe, and the rest.. i saw ludacris on def jam: icon trailer tho.. so he must be in.. & i hope they maintain the character creation frm def jam:ffny & prolly they could vamp it up a lil cos i love to see my character dresses in air jordans & bling blings frm jacob the jeweler.. fo shizzo.. haha! game's out in march & im getting it..

oh yea.. first time tried demo: feels like fnr3.. 2nd time try: feels like im playing mortal kombat: deception..

pls pls EA.. dnt ruin the gameplay..

very true bro..it DOES feel like FNR3..maybe cos tsunoda's behind this DJ b4? (ke mmg tsunoda was behind prev def jams too?). yes i admit too tht i preferred previous def jams cos it was a fast paced wrestling/beat em up style..FFNY was very good because the storyline was engaging as hell and customization was top notch.
but come DJ Icon, it DOES seem very slow and will definitely throw us, fans of the originals, off the tracks. but personally, i don't mind the change cos:
a) it makes it so much more challenging to time your beatings following the beats and what not.
b) you actually get to appreciate background music this time and when u get it right, u really feel like ur in a choreographed music video
and
c) uh..hell it does have the best hip hop stars, in bloody HD, and feckinly, eerily life like! (i love the details such as their shirts flipping up so you can see their skin. no more 'stuck to the bod' shirts now..makes it all the more realistic)
altho there are some things tht i really don't like such as..sometimes our characters are TOO sensitive to the environmental hazards. kena sikit je fire extinguisher, react mcm kene api..it just disrupts the flow to follow the beats.
all in all, DJ Icon is awesomely awesome and can't wait to get my hands on it! i quote xbw360 when i say, blamm, and most certainly O.
