Def Jam Icon for PS3 Game Review      

November 19th, 2007

DEF Jam Icon scores over the first releases of this game because it is more realistic. The idea of a rapping wrestling match did not go down so well with a large section of the audience. Although the game created a bit of a stir in the gaming world, the new game is better since most of the characters are based on todays top rappers.

The background on which the game is framed (so to speak) is enticing. The graphics are great and lead you virtually to the real world of rap artists. Each artist has his/her own phrases, derived from their songs. The beginning of the game is as a person seeking their identity, combing the streets looking to build your label. I think this game will be well accepted by older teens, but it is a little ‘far out’ for the older generation.

As you get more money in DEF Jam Icon, you can get clothes and honeys – who will leave you with a dry wallet if you let them. As in real life your problems increase with the increase in cash. You come up against dirty cops and record executives of the same kind. You have to be careful as you grow in status.

I would recommend this game as it has a different kind of appeal. Fantastic characters, great graphics and an even better plot all add up to make a great game. Do not miss out on this one. I suggest renting it if you do not want to buy it. All in all, a game worth experiencing
