To spend your development points you head over to the Shopping District and go to Stapleton Athletics which is manned by none other than Henry Rollins. I mentioned development points and this is really the key to building up your fighter so you can take out the opponent as fast as possible. Now that I have that out of my system let me continue on. I agree that it is no fun to play through a game and just utterly dominate it, but it is equally crappy to be giving someone a thorough beating only to have them grab you and execute 2 moves and KO you. This type of lopsided help is very apparent in Fight for New York and it was enough to really ruin the game for me. It is no fun to be up by 20 points only to have the computer go on a 35-0 run. Everyone is familiar with the handicap that comes into play in NBA Jam if you go on a hot streak.
The basic concept is that you can’t ever get too much of a lead or too great of an advantage on the computer controlled opponent. Rubberbanding is the concept where the computer controlled opponent seems to stay right with you in a racing game no matter how perfect you are driving and how terrible the computer is. I am sure that seems a little out in left field so let me explain.Ĭertain games like BA Jam and Burnout 3 both suffer from what is termed “rubberbanding”. Great graphics, nice soundtrack, an all star voice acting cast with an updated engine should lead to a great game right? The answer should be yes, but for me it that is hardly the case.
Pretty simple and quite a nice addition if you ask me.Īt this point you are probably thinking to yourself that this is a pretty solid game. This is reachable from the main menu and you just simply uncheck the songs you don’t want to hear. You also have the options of selecting which of the songs you want played during the game or not. I don’t listen to a whole lot (read: any) thug rap so I didn’t really appreciate the music, but the amount of music was quite vast and sure to please anyone that is fan of the genre. All the people in the game have a beefed up new generation GI Joe look to them which is characteristic of the Def Jam games and to some extent the games that EA Big puts out.įFNY also has a very extensive soundtrack as can be expected by any game with a cast of musicians as enormous as this. While playing I couldn’t help but notice that it was probably the prettiest wrestling game I have ever seen. The graphics engine is gorgeous and the combat is very fluid.
HOW TO PLAY DEF JAM FIGHT FOR NY ON XBOX ONE PLUS
The new engine packs in 5 different fighting styles, 40 different fighters plus your custom fighter, and well over 20 different interactive venues. The game engine that powers FFNY has been revamped since Vendetta. In addition to story mode you can also play with up to 4 people in the Battle mode, but since most of my game time was with the story mode, I will focus on that aspect of the game. Defeating fighters will also get a set number of development points that you can use to beef up your character at the gym. Defeating each fighter unlocks different things for use in the 4 player battle mode such as the fighter himself, the venue, different songs, and finally Blazin’ moves. As you progress through the game you will throw down with a number of fighters at each of the many venues. As the story mode begins, you create a custom character that will be the unknown fighter that saves D-Mob and earns his trust. The story of D-Mob and his crew picks up in Fight for New York where they square off against Crow who is played by Snoop Dogg. Def Jam Fight for New York is the over the top sequel to Def Jam Vendetta which starred many famous people from the rap world as wrestlers in an underground street fighting circuit. I had an interesting time with Def Jam Fight for New York and if I had to sum up my experience in one word I think I would choose “frustrating”.
