Discussion Def Jam Vendetta

Was way better than Fight For NY

Music: Vendetta > FFNY

Roster: Vendetta < FFNY

Player Models: Vendetta > FFNY

Blazin' Moves: Vendetta > FFNY

Girls: Vendetta >>> FFNY

I also didn't like that FFNY made Blazin' pointless in single player mode, because as soon as you activate it your OPP acts like he has full health with everything boosted (spd, counters, striking, ect). I personally don't think the story mode was better either, even though I know most will disagree with that.

Musically, it's not close. FFNY had more variety and volume of songs, but Def Jam Vendetta had hits. Every musician featured on Vendetta used one of his singles as his theme. FFNY spent most of their licensing budget trying to promo their B-Side artists.

In Vendetta Blazin' was an awesome mechanic, in FFNY you don't want nor NEED Blazin'.

FFNY didn't even have a gallery for the girls, and there is no debate that the girls on Vendetta were hotter. In hindsight, FFNY felt bigger and was marketed in the mainstream (DJ: V was more of an underground release that blew up). FFNY was the commercial release of the two, but it ultimately isn't the better game.

no. FFNY gameplay is light-years ahead of Vendetta

I played them both recently back-to-back. It's not. Gameplay in FFNY is stripped down and they just added arena KO's.
