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.

So... is there only one actual attack that isn't a grapple?

Nope there's strong kicks and punches. Then there's clother lines and all manor of crazy moves.

Though a high amount of the stronger moves are exectued from being in a grapple.

The only thing the game's missing is the match options, there's no hell in a cell or anything like that unfortuantly. It's just 1 on 1, 2 vs 2, survivor, all against all and handicap.

You can do double team moves though which look swish.

Hopefully, it's getting a US release but no word on a Euro release yet.

I'll get a freeloader if I have to.

I don't even know what that is. Wrestling games just aren't my "bag" any more.
