This was intentional. Unlike DJ:FFNY, as you saw you couldn’t just spam attacks and rush for a special move. You had to feel your opponent out, skill check AND change the momentum through music. They were changing the game for real but the story did lack something and the graphics were actually bad even for its time😅
Two points: - The producer said that the reason this game moved away from the wrestling theme of the previous games was because wrestling and hip-hop did not go together. Well, Young Jeezy moves like a fucking Shaolin monk in this game. Does Hip Hop and Martial Arts make more sense? - It's funny how Young Jeezy's theme song is like 70% Akon, and he's not even in the game.
This game wasn't good compared to the past ones but it sure was fun to play haha I just think it's hilarious seeing rappers do ninja flips and get blown the fuck up.
You can do that too in FFNY, Icon was made by a different developer and different direction on the sequel which is not a good sign, I get what they going for on Icon but it's missing a lot of mix fighting styles and blazing moves and this one has no hud
My major thought is that this game is fine on it's own and a interesting idea....just that it's a Def Jam fighting game...fight for ny gave it too much to live up to
Every previous game was superior. Both Nba ballers were superior than phenom, both Def Jam games were better than Icon and every nba live was better than any on ps3/360.
Ok people imma tell how this game could've been better compared to the last Def Jam games in a list below👇 1. Enable to use weapons 2. Faster gameplay 3. Better fitting fighting styles 4. Short but effective special moves 5. Up to 4 players in one match 6. More arenas and characters 7. Fighting commentary (like older Def Jams)
If EA won't bring this back, then I hope something magical happens where Namco gives a nod to one of these rappers by making a guest character of them for Tekken
There is a song by NAS and Puff Daddy (Hate Me Now) that supposedly is the fight songs for two characters (Troy Dollar and Greer) that I can't select, but I do have the respective fighters in the roster after beating Build a Label. What may be wrong? It may be useful to know that I had to rematch five times and I finished the game on easy. Besides, I wonder if you can unlock Fat Joe permanently without having to input the cheat every single time you want to start a game, and if so, how.
This game was always the reason I would skip school I would just pretend I'm sick and just play this on play station 3 Now we just playing fortnite and other realistic games
You made this game look and overall seem Amazing! Can you do TIP with (What you know) against Game(One Blood)? If so, rock the Park set one ☝🏼 time again please
That game looks just abismal, the other two versions were good, but this one, I mean the concept of mixing fighting games with music videos sound interesting, but those moves, this looks more like a dating simulator than a fighting game.
Gecko o This game was for the ones who Needed to understand it. Hating only proved you were either a low skilled player or your brain was still too little to understand how to make the experience worthwhile..😒 It was momentum based as you’ve seen. We had Fat Joe, David Banner, and Bonecrusher doing the unbelievable in the last installment.🤔 Not to mention the contorted positions their bodies were placed in every other Blazin’ Move. Icon had finesse and skill was needed, so it weeded out the lames who thought it was *ToO HaRd*😩😬🙄
Oms8 umg a lot of the labels are basically under def jam because it was basically the first label ever especially for rap so much labor fall under one umbrella
Rodrick Padgett Game was on Interscope. Def Jam isn't apart of Interscope at all. So that still doesn't explain why he's in it. EDIT: oh ok. Def Jam and Interscope are under UMG. I guess that's why he's in it.
@@bradshawlol1 most people do like FFNY better then icon. Stats don't lie, but hey if u like this game then good for u. Wasn't knocking anyone for liking it.. Not once....
From what I can tell ppl were just bitchin bout no blazing moves. This game wasn't the best but man this game looked good. The rappers looked like their real world counterpart. The problem was they focused to much on the music. The mixture of music and fighting was the shit
Kedarrius Simpson They had a Def Jam Icon2 prototype made but the company shutdown. There’s a video you can search to see. I’d say they were going somewhere with it, but it was left in the wind anyways 🤷🏽♂️
The elements of this game makes me love it that much more, the fact I can be Sean Paul and kick someone's ass is ridiculous. This is a MTV era ass game
I regret not buying this game I know it wasn't popular I played demo way back and it wasn't that bad I know the dj and gameplay is a bit sloppy but am sure it was a good game my friends said it was garbage and this def jam game wasn't the same as the one in NY
No health bar. No blazin NO announcer. Horrible camera angle. And the game moves SLOWER than the last 2. Yeah I'm glad I missed out on this one. My only regret was not ever getting FFNY.

The day I see Young Jeezy hit a twisting flip is the I realize my life never really mattered lmaaoo
Corey Burton 😂
I just died when i saw that shit like nahhh Jeezy out here cuttin up
ua-cam.com/video/KeaR5SMjcFk/v-deo.html still got this game check out my def jam video
The graphics aged well on all the def jam games. Hope they do another one at some point.
I get the goosebumps everything they switch the songs , god I missed this game
black manta only once man. My fav was vendetta

These graphics on fight for ny woulda been hard asf
Facts bruh, that scratch animation is forever nostalgia
@@Sean-qk2vb icon wasn’t that bad but compared to the other yes

This was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen😭😭
Well, there's Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style
I mean this game with street fighting was more realistic than a underground boxing club & the story was more believeable
They actually said that 😩
Wtf🤦🏾♂️ John Cena is the literal example the Hip Hop and Wrestling go together. That don’t even make sense. R-Truth also is a good example💪🏾💯
If jeezy could do a jump kick like that in real life, I would quit life.
Especially with his pants around his ass 😂
I’m just perplexed 🤔 on how you can do a high kick with sagging pants Lol
Fjuncaj lmao same
It’s a video game...
Lmao But he did make this game seem like it was the shit though didn’t he?😂
I can show you.. just come stand right in front of me
@@prosavage1313 ur just a pussy.
@1:19 when you watch too many animes and have been dying to try out the move in real life.
RandomBlackGamer 🤣🤣🤣 that move is so out of place in this game
Your channel used to be the shit when XV1 was about to come out. I used to come home and see if you posted, I forgot to resub on my new account
Sharingan activated
Lmao

JESUS
I’d never thought I’d see young jeezy hit a flip like that
Shaolin Jeezy 😂
8:27 that finish tho
😂
"Its a rap like the song" ~Young Jeezy
Jeezy:5 Bars mane,who ever wrote this had good metaphors fo sho
Your father's a rat and he forces you to live in a sewer & practice karate. I feel sorry for you
This game wasn't good compared to the past ones but it sure was fun to play haha I just think it's hilarious seeing rappers do ninja flips and get blown the fuck up.
This game was my childhood 🔥
Tears falling down my face
Whole lotta black air force energy 😂 man i wish they would bring back the def jam fighting games. Early/mid 00s was the shit!
Alot of people hate this game but I don’t see why. I loved the fact you could use the environment to do damage. Clever to me.
You can do that too in FFNY, Icon was made by a different developer and different direction on the sequel which is not a good sign, I get what they going for on Icon but it's missing a lot of mix fighting styles and blazing moves and this one has no hud
Def jam ffny was so good.. i think thats why
@@koffiam It's like a software slump and i think Icon was too advanced for its time.
@@product_of_august yeah you are right
The concept was never seen before and interesting
My major thought is that this game is fine on it's own and a interesting idea....just that it's a Def Jam fighting game...fight for ny gave it too much to live up to
I remember one time my game froze and all I heard was “one blood” for 5 minutes straight
😂😂😂😂😂
I fuck with it though
I still think the other def jams were superior to this one
They really were. If they had only kept the same fighting mechanics
Fight for NY can't be beat! We need a HD remastered ps4 version of fight for NY!
Same...if they'd added the record label to storymode like this one DJ:Icon would've been pointless.
Every previous game was superior.
Both Nba ballers were superior than phenom, both Def Jam games were better than Icon and every nba live was better than any on ps3/360.
No
Ok people imma tell how this game could've been better compared to the last Def Jam games in a list below👇

2. Faster gameplay

(like older Def Jams)
I used to play this heavy everyday after high school. I was ranked 122 in the world at some point
The way Jeezy throws the game and sets him on fire at 2:20 is funny af
Did i just see this nigga Jeezy do a back flip😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
1:20 what was that jeezy did?!?! That was too clean 🔥
00:59 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
LMAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO
Lmao I felt that. Shit happened to me all the time in this game
And for some reason the games head is not broken, WHAT!
Yoooo 😂😂😂
That shit still got me laughing 6 years later bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
fam Jeezy be moving like an anime protagonist.
7:59 - 8:05 😂😂😂😂😂
They need to bring this game back 2018😂😂🤣🤣
___. Benno.b .___ I’d want that Lil Xan’s mental breakdown mod
If EA won't bring this back, then I hope something magical happens where Namco gives a nod to one of these rappers by making a guest character of them for Tekken
The graphics are still phenomenal. The game was straight. I enjoyed it but no blazing moves was a missed opportunity

Game: " need some medical attention " -- gets hit in the back of the head with a camera as it goes back in place --
I'm dead
This is what i was waiting for to happen after the jeezy and gucci VS
My Nigga Jeezy aint got no Martial Arts skills😂😂😂😂😂😂
That fail at 1:00 😂😂😂
Cornelius Smith 😂😂😂😂😭😂😭
😂😂😂😂
Right😂😂😂😂
Weeee
Jeezy does more acrobatics than fighting
This game was always the reason I would skip school I would just pretend I'm sick and just play this on play station 3
Now we just playing fortnite and other realistic games
What's wrong with playing realistic game? This game is realistic too
@@danishhakimi4933nah it’s not as the comments say that nigga Jeezy movin like he got a black belt
Awww man! I freakin’ loved this game. The music change mechanic was so dope. EA don’t make em’ like this no more.
Because this crap killed the franchise
Imagine bring def jam to Ps4 the graphics will be sick
This game on PS4 would actually would not be hard to imagine the controls
What is Def Jam icon was on PS4 and the PSP, the PSP version will probably look bad
Def Jam Icon is Garbage.
@@emeraldphoenix5868 if it's garbage why are you here ? Lol
Hypocritical much or are you the "NY was better" nostalgic idiot ?

Def jam ffny makes this game look like a joke in the sense of difficulty
Why was Game even in here. He's never been signed to Def Jam. Had me puzzled AF when it came out.
Oms8 umg a lot of the labels are basically under def jam because it was basically the first label ever especially for rap so much labor fall under one umbrella
Rodrick Padgett Game was on Interscope. Def Jam isn't apart of Interscope at all. So that still doesn't explain why he's in it.
EDIT: oh ok. Def Jam and Interscope are under UMG. I guess that's why he's in it.
Why not though? Games dope as hell 🤘🏼
ugh
so many songs i forgot about lol akon, mike jones and shit
god damn i gotta listen to them all again lol those was the days
This game is How To Kill A Franchise 101.
I remember playing this game before, but it was a loooong time ago. 😆
watching this in slo-mo is amazing
We need a remaster too this!!
4:49 Young Jeezy used to be a gymnast?
Karen were
Actually yes he was as a matter of FACT.
I played this game for the soundtrack
Maybe terrible but has some good points soundtrack period plus seeing your favorite rappers
the game is pretty good!
To bad this game sucked hard core... Fight for NY was theee best! Period
@@Pwilly1984 not everybody like fight for NY. Period
@@bradshawlol1 most people do like FFNY better then icon. Stats don't lie, but hey if u like this game then good for u. Wasn't knocking anyone for liking it.. Not once....
I was good af at def jam icon but I was so young I never learned how to mix the song and change it
I miss this game 😢
1:04 game thought he ate until he got hit by that camera 😂
I love how this game focus on music
New defjam: old skool rappers VS new skool rappers, fight for hip hop.
From what I can tell ppl were just bitchin bout no blazing moves. This game wasn't the best but man this game looked good. The rappers looked like their real world counterpart. The problem was they focused to much on the music. The mixture of music and fighting was the shit
Kedarrius Simpson ikr this game was so cool back then
yeah I see a lot of hate comments on these videos. this game wasn't that bad.. I enjoyed it
Thank u! No hate should be towards this game. They gotta make a new game and fill in the gaps is all
Kedarrius Simpson I agree
Kedarrius Simpson They had a Def Jam Icon2 prototype made but the company shutdown. There’s a video you can search to see. I’d say they were going somewhere with it, but it was left in the wind anyways 🤷🏽♂️
def jam fight for ATLANTA
So there isn't any blazin moves?? Coming back to this 2024 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
6:27 Savage af
What’s with the camera angle??
I’m Here cause of that recommendation 🤷🏻♂️
"Hip Hop and Wrestling don't go together" this is what happens when you assign someone who knows nothing about fighting games 😅
This game was my shit man.
On god
Damn, fights really lasted like 10 minutes?
Yes lmao
This game had potential but fell sold its self short like a Porsche on hubcaps.
Is there an advantage to having your music playing
Remastered this game please
IKF
DEF JAM fight for NY needs remastered.
What happened to EA why don't they make games like this anymore?
What Happened to EA Sports Big they cannot make a Def Jam Vendetta on PS4
Nothing on the older one
This game a big part of my life ❤
has the game become free from the point of view of the law? you can't buy it anywhere, ps3 support has been discontinued
It may be bad for them, But it's good for me. ;)
I did played that game but I don't know how change a music of Def Jam
Would rather play this than UFC4
The sound design on this game is great
I also like taking off health bars and zoom and high contrast to show when at low hp
Why aren't they making a 2019 def jam
Cause this game was trash.
@@josesaenz7757 not better than Fight For Ny
I wonder if they would actually have a real life brawl in the BET studio.
The elements of this game makes me love it that much more, the fact I can be Sean Paul and kick someone's ass is ridiculous. This is a MTV era ass game
This game had a dope concept with shitty execution, I remember jumping into this game with *HUGE* expectations, dissapointing af lol
i wish it was a bit faster game with some more moves
They should bring this too next gen
hell no

Fuck this game was incredible.
Ok since when did rappers become reality warpers?
I'm NGL I never played jeezy I only used ghostface
Me Too I Played With GFK
The only reason Jeezy’s a stronger fighter is because his fighting style is Taijutsu whilst games fighting style is simply just street fighting
basically yeaa . The Game fighting style is Muay Thai
