Use an Emulator bro bro. PlayStation to be exact, if you have a PS4 controller you can Bluetooth it to your device by holding the home button and share buttom until the light flash on it. I deadass will never stop playing the Def Jam games, man. They was something special. Not Icon, but after some years I grew to appreciate it for what it is & bringing more modern rappers at the time. Just sucked having to accept we never gonna get another Def Jam lol. Lets be real my boi, its good they stopped. Nowadays if they kept making em we'd be having choices of DLC costumes for niggas in dresses, skinny jeans and man purses.😂😂
say we need a remaster of this ASAP, I had this on my PS2, the original Xbox an my GameCube, I used to host gaming tournaments in my middle school days an friends couldn't wait to spend the night to play this all night and eat Little Caesars turning up like crazy
@@mozermzr3186 I know I'm just saying a remaster would be great if did right I had this game on the PS2, original Xbox an GameCube,I don't have any of my old systems no more I wish I still did
This was during a time where the only time you’d see celebrities is during concerts, and they felt like super humans. This game captured that feeling so well.
I don't know, sounds cool; not that awkward; to me. Especially when you see the Blazin' moves; themselves, and how awesome they all look. Really the only awkward things in the game; were some of the intros/outros.
Dude in the background on the mic always cracked me up… “I bet you wish you were somewhere else, huh?”… “we gotta big timer!” … “and injury to insult” … “THIS COULD BE IT!” … 😂😂😂😂
I have to appreciate the fact Bless was put in with the rest of the Def Jam OCs despite being one of the RL talents. SHows how memorable Bless was, honestly.
@@virgogaming6488 Aw; really? That's a shame...looks so cool though...you could technically say the same about "Def Jam: Icon"; but definitely more forgettable than this game. But it was the only fighting game I could play at the time... its too bad this game's post game is so boring. That's a disappointment.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq I definitely agree there; not a fan of rappers who mumble to begin with anyway. Always been a HUGE fan of Eminem, and he's always been my favorite rapper. Even during the burnout years; and when he was tired of being in the spotlight, so; mainly during 2004. Yeah, it was a bit difficult to move on, and find other artists to listen to; but not impossible to do, even for somebody as talented as Em.
Playing somebody named "Magic"? Yeah, I think so. I mean; they got Flavor Flav, Fat Joe; Ludacris; Snoop Dogg, Danny Trejo(even though he's NOT a rapper), Carmen Electra; Redman; and Method Man, Sean Paul(yeah; that's actually him; not just his likeness), David Banner; and this was(and STILL IS); one of the BEST fighting games I've ever seen and never had a chance to play; and completely missed out on; when it came out, because I thought it couldn't be real; I thought it was just some sort of maybe April Fool's joke or something, but nah, this game was real, and needs a remake/sequel.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq Really? A Smash Bros. Like fighting game, but with 2 members of Wu-Tang, Snoop Busta Rhymes, and even Ludacris. And its sequel didn't work out? Was that sequel, Def Jam Icon? Because I remember that game being disappointing compared to Fight For NY. Not "bad", but nowhere near as cool as the other 2 Def Jam games...
@@shawnfields2369 the fact it "didnt work" proves it was bad on its merit. People liked the akari engine and wanted more of that but refined. Not everything has to be freaking smash bros.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq Hey, I'm just saying, the Def Jam series is like the hip-hop version of Smash Bros., that's all. Sorry if comparing Def Jam to Smash Bros. was overdoing it, my bad, dude.
DAMN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS THAT THIS GAME CAME OUT WE NEED TO HAVE A COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER AND FORCE EA TO MAKE A NEW DEF JAM FIGHT FOR NEW YORK GAME... AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TYPE OF NAME FOR THE GAME TOO DEF JAM FIGHT FOR NEW YORK RIVALS

Need this on ps4
In 2023 it's still one of the best fighting games and probably the best of all time . Legendary 🙌
Wait until next year. I will do my 20th anniversary for this game.
Urban Reign says hi.
@@BeeMusic2024 Yes we know that game. I really love the combat gameplay and all. Nothing new
@@BeeMusic2024 yessss, Urban Reign was basically the japanese less gruesome version of FFNY. I played the FUCK outta both of them when i was a kid.
Facts
Mortal kombat has the bloodiest fatalities but def jam has the most painful
If you're talking about brutal, Magic's finisher is brutal
If you're talking about painful, Doc's finisher is hella painful

This game was a blast! And with the character's customisation too sheesh
say we need a remaster of this ASAP, I had this on my PS2, the original Xbox an my GameCube, I used to host gaming tournaments in my middle school days an friends couldn't wait to spend the night to play this all night and eat Little Caesars turning up like crazy
awesome cuz i did the same shit lol friday nights man
Would be awesome but I'm guessing the rights issue would be an absolute nightmare.
And bring in micro transactions ? Battle passes ? Lot of bugs ? I rather play on ps2 than that . We talking EA here man, don't be twisted.
@@mozermzr3186 I know I'm just saying a remaster would be great if did right I had this game on the PS2, original Xbox an GameCube,I don't have any of my old systems no more I wish I still did
Main thing I did was buy a first model PS3 that can emulate PS2 games. Still have my collection with Def Jam Vendetta and Fight for NY
Kids today will never know the joy this game brought.

This was during a time where the only time you’d see celebrities is during concerts, and they felt like super humans. This game captured that feeling so well.
7:58 this is the coolest for me
Rocksteady
1:51 my favorite intro
Me too
5:03 one of the best intros
And one of the best outros 🔥🔥🔥
@@bryanchisholm3358Along with this one 25:08
I can imagine how awkward that blazin' screams in the recording room lol
I don't know, sounds cool; not that awkward; to me. Especially when you see the Blazin' moves; themselves, and how awesome they all look. Really the only awkward things in the game; were some of the intros/outros.
*when you mention Chris Judge in a video game*
Other people: God of War
Me: Def Jam Vendetta & Fight For NY
Man this game still lit all thanks to the community keeping it alive 💯
9:25 Flava Flav's intro is funny
He reminds me of the pimp from boondocks
A pimp named slimpback @@TheBest69thSorcerer
Everything about him is
How could I forget that Snoop Dog ain’t played around from that move 1:14
Crazy legs, sean Paul, havoc, and ice-t is my favorite finishing moves
Yeah man.. they called him crazy legs for a reason
Also don't forget ice t's submission moves. Ice-T would def be my main
My created player always used Crazy Legs’s finisher. Love that move!
Dan g
I agree I used his move and crazy legs move and over hard
13:17 - Memphis Bleek's M.A.D.E. is my favorite Blazin Move
This was one of my favorites! They really missed a big opportunity not having Busta’s “Woo Ahh!”as his hype up for his blaze!
10:50 man Havoc move was so fire 😂💯🔥
His and Lil Flip
Redman intro is WILD
Dude in the background on the mic always cracked me up… “I bet you wish you were somewhere else, huh?”… “we gotta big timer!” … “and injury to insult” … “THIS COULD BE IT!” … 😂😂😂😂
18:39 Cat Scream😂
19:48
The only one I find just purely disturbing.
List of my favorites :
- 187
- Balls to the walls
- Break beats
- Rocksteady
- Filipino pride
- Street respect
- Foot for breakfast
nyne's blaze had that flying knee 💀
Redman had niggas doin the ice spice 😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Miss those days
Crazy Legs is the best fighter of the entire game, his intro and blazin is perfect.
19:28 one of the best blazin
This game was the shit bac in the day. I loved the story mode.
0:19 My favorite blazin yell
I second this.
22:16 what did Santos say
I have to appreciate the fact Bless was put in with the rest of the Def Jam OCs despite being one of the RL talents. SHows how memorable Bless was, honestly.
Wait he was real? I genuinely forget that fact way too often....
1:59 where have i seen that b4? I swear I’ve seen that before ……..somewhere
24:35 Nick from L4D?😝😝

Freeway's move was really disappointing tbh
@@BardiXOfficial facts
@@delanodobson7697 yeah, his final kick should’ve sent the opponent tumbling down hard but instead the opponent stays up and slowly falls down
They need to be able to put everybody on one. This shit was before it's time. Vendetta was crazy too.
Crazy to hear Kratos voice in this game as DMoB lol
Merece remake, mas sem tirar a essência do jogo e sua jogabilidade.
Eso es un remaster
Out of all games to remake it should be this one
19:28 Dan G breakdancing?
Ningún juego Igualara está joya de juego que fortuna ser de los 90 y vivir esta época..
Oye bro, tengo unos blazing desbloqueados pero cuando le pico a la x no me lo equipa,porque?
I love how nobody had super powers or anything krazy in this game yeah the blazing moves ain’t real but its still fun 😂
Lifting someone with one arm is super power
@@Alan-cm7ye Its only a superpower if i do it😎💪🏿
Its so sad that Icon killed the whole Franchise
I agree.
Yeah wtf was that all about
@@sith-o-mac Some record labels BS.
I agree vendetta and fight for ny were legendary
0:36 WHO GOT NEXT MAN IM JUST GETTING STARTED!

1:29 had me rolling
All these neck snappers are just straight up murder lmao
21:36 is my fav!
13:57 scarface brutally finisher
“RAAASSSSCLAAAAATTTT”
Man I wish this game wasn’t so expensive and sought after
Yeah; it's great; wish I didn't miss out on it; entirely...
Great game but gets boring when you beat it.

New characters would be nice
@@kinglubu767we only need eminem. Most rappers nowadays dont need em in this

DAWWW I REMEMBER BEING A KID ALWAYS REPEATING WAT DAVID BANNER USED TO SAY AT THE END ON THE FIGHT WHEN HE WON
I like Snoop dog's finisher
Yeah thats good
I wish I would remake this in HD for the PS4 and the current gen consoles this was such a fun game
22:18 You’re no DMX punk that’s his move!
Crazy Legs , Capone
This game was the shit they need to remaster it
I wonder why they made Lauren a playable character, seeing as how she appears in only ONE cutscene
22:50 omg
DON'T GIVE ME NO SASS OR I'M A KICK YOUR ASS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This game deserves sequels for ps4 and ps5, also Urban Reign!!!
4:21 bathroom scream😂
17:54 man BO is sick 🔥
His, Bonecrusher and Smooth's blazin taunts are me favorites
Crazy Leg blazing the best
2:30 Bro literally scared me the fuck out
I went and got me ps2 and the game for cheap and it was totally worth it
3:01 is that busta rhymes

David banner looking like a real country boy 😂😂😂😂
Dan G had the wildest finisher ,how you turn someone into a turn table 😂
25:32 expecting he said "have you ever read the poetry of the great airbender Guru Laghima"
That's crazy 💀 young Rollins was wild tho
Man I cant believe Nyne made it into the game and I never remembered
Knowing how much foldage is in this game id bet this all happened in the span of one match 😂
