Def Jam: Icon Review - IGN

Por um escritor misterioso

Last updated 22 dezembro 2024

The Def Jam franchise has always been rooted in surreal situations: brawlers in underground arenas, rappers assuming bruising alter egos and physics defying "blazing" moves that incapacitated their opponents. Supporting these battles on the streets of New York was a deep fighting and weapon system thanks to the wrestling masterminds at Aki. While it was unbelievable, the over the top nature of the game worked well. The latest installment in the series, Def Jam: Icon, takes a departure from this formula, so instead of taking over New York with your fists, you're capturing the airwaves with your personal record label. Unfortunately, this introduction of real world elements breaks down aspects of the gameplay, making it a shadow of the previous titles.
