Def Jam Vendetta rocks my spandex.

It's basically No mercy with much improved graphics, no gay men in leotards and a lot faster smoother game play.

It's sooooo good. Because Aki haven't had to keep to a WWF license some of the moves are completly over the top and look brilliant. They're all pretty realistic and possible, it's just that if you did some of the special moves on people in real life, there's no doubt that they'd kill them.

For example one of my character's special moves, he snaps their back on his leg, punches them twice in the face then does a massive spinning pile driver so they land on the back of their neck.

Muchos TKO stylee.

The atmosphere in the game is great too. All the fights take place in arenas like strip bars and nightclubs and stuff, Funkmaster Flex is on the decks mixing the 'phat beats' as you fight and also commentating.

Whoever it was that said the control are unresponsiv on the PS2 demo either has a messed up controller or forgot to plug it in. The fights are so smooth and the contorls are great. The reversal system has been brought on a bit from No Mercy as well. At one point I was fighting Scar Face, we managed to get about 8 reversals at once, he revesed me I reversed him etc etc until I eventually flaw the punk. It looks sweet.

Its a good wrestling game, got a damn good engine...

But...

It certainly doesnt deserve the title of "Best Wrestling game ever."

Three words for you:

Fire Pro Wrestling.

Yip.

Ghostface, Method Man, DMX, Redman, Ludacris (SP), CNN, Scarface, Keith Murray, Funkmaster Flex and some others who i've never heard of.

Only met Scarface so far.

The game's a lot harder than no Mercy. Took me about 5 times to beat Scarface, he kept reversing everything I did.

I played a demo on PS2, I it seemed to me like you just end up doing the same moves over and over again. I got pretty bored.

You can do that with any fighting game. Thing is you won't win like that as repeating the same moves means you won't gain any momentum meaning you won't be able to pull of special moves and you'll most likely get ya @s-s whooped.

The computer Ai really doesn't take any prisoners, I'm quite suprised at how hard some of the fights are.
