This game set a milestone for video games and hip-hop. No other game than Def Jam Fight for NY represents hip-hop better than this video game gem. It's the first in the series and one of my favorites because it's the ONLY one in the series that features the legendary DMX R.I.P. This masterpiece must be preserved. Otherwise we will lose one of the best fighting games of all time, including one of the best rapper.
one of the very few games that all of my brothers, cousins, friends and I would play and everyone had a great time. we still talk about the battles we had 20 years later. brining this game back would allow us to make new memories and rekindle old rivalries and allow our kids to experience one of the most unique fighting games for our generation. Also the music tracks were among the best for the time. And still hold up to this day.
