This thread has been linked to the game 'Def Jam: Fight for NY'.
Picked this up the other day for £15.
Tis really excellent. Wasn't sure if I'd like the series now that they've taken it away from WWF No mercy style fighting but I gotta say they've done a really good job.
It's got all the fight options that the first game was missing and then some. Tis excellent smashing your rivals into speakers, especially when that rival is that tw@t Sean Paul.
Anyway, really good game that I definetly recommend.

Picked it up for just over that 2nd hand.
Most places have it as 20 new.

I might pick it up, it's what, £15 now?
Cheers for the info. I think I'll pick this up today since WM21's about 2 months away. Definately up for designing a few characters and taking them through the story mode one by one.
There's a large variety of weapons, it's very much reliant on where you fighting as to which weapons you get. For example in the 'Chop Shop' which is a kind of a car customisation place you get spanners and brooms to smash around your opponents skulls.
It's not really a wrestling game anymore though. You can use wrestling moves that are lifted straight out of No Mercy, but it's also going for more of a straight forward beat the crap out of your opponent fighting game (having said that though it's nothing like Soul Calibur 2 or games of its type). Some of the most powerful moves are done by using the scenery around you, slamming your opponent into walls, stage lights, coke machines, members of the crowd who then help you do a double team move and god knows what else you can find.
The 'Blazing moves' as they call them, or specials as they were in the Wrestling games are freaking awesome and totally over the top these days. Now that they're not cornholed by what goes in wrestling, they've really let loose with some of the most lethal and over the top moves you're likely to find this side of a finishing move in Mortal Combat.
I wasn't totally sure when I first got the game if I'd like the way they taken the game, away from wrestling and more into the realm of a free for all street fight. But I'm now happy to say that Aki have done an excellent job and it's 10 times the game that Vendetta was. The more violent and bloodthirsty nature of the game really suits the license a lot better than wrestling and the single player is all the better for it.

I know in WM21 there's a diverse array of weapons beyond the standard selection that's expected.
Couldn't speak for Def Jam, probably a review will mention it. I know from the demo that it looks like there's other damage you can do (in the demo you fight in a burning building, I think you can damage your opponent with the fire.
Only played the demo once mind you.

And I hope there is some weapons too.
Oh how I missed the days I used to go round my friends at lunch time to play No Mercy.
Those truly were "the days".

Yep. WM21 is heavily influenced by it and it shows. Whether it'll beat it is another thing but it is looking good.

The first one was a lot like No Mercy, but a lot faster and they didn't sat down on the ground long enough to line up some tactical moves, even after the were half dead they got up very quickly.
Hopefully this time you can knock them down long enough to strategise a little bit.
