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.

No Mercy.
Just seen the advert. Looks good.
It is Christina Millian.
The 44 is most likely including the girls, so that's 44 characters.
I wanna see what happens when you complete it with all 4 people, I'm hoping you get very hard mode or something.
Some of the moves smash it.
That break dancing guy's finishing move where he spins his opponent like a turntable and then does some break dancing and kicks their head is the best i've seen so far.
Also i've noticed that quite a few of the people have got WWF finishers as normal moves, things like 'The Pimp Drop' and 'Stone Cold stunner'. Shows how over the top the moves are when you got some of the best moves in the WWF as quite weak moves in comparisson with the specials.
Excellent game.

Also I was bored so I decided to read the instruction manual and it said there were 44 characters where as in the game it says 39. So are there more hidden characters to unlock?
And is it just me or does Angel look like Christina Miliani (Sp)?
Yeah before I went into the match with D Mob I had the game plan to go for submission, still took ages though. And the handicap match is a real pain on Medium.
Well I've completed it once on Easy and twice on Medium, just started it for the last time with Tank. The two last characters are so good. Worth working for.
So far I've got all titles, 12/12 stages, 39/39 fighters, 5/5 girls and 114/120 of the photos. Still no sign of those trophies though.

D Mob's a tough muther funner.
Did 3 specials on him and still he got up, eventually had to concentrate on punshishing his left arm and after about 10 minutes of slugging him in the face and bending his arm he eventually submitted.
Damn punk!

Damn this game, I need it. Along with Burnout 2, and Lost Kingdoms 2, and V-Rally 3, and Wario World, and Ikaruga. Gah.
