As Himself: Most of the fighters such as Ludacris, Sean Paul, and Flava Flav play fictional, street fighting versions of themselves.

Icon stays realistic but implements environment animations that goes even further down the cartoony road, bordering on surreal for an overall style very reminiscent of a music video.

Art Shift: The mild cartoony vibe of Vendetta was ditched in Fight for NY.

Abhorrent Admirer: In Fight for NY, if the player character fails to claim their girlfriend from Nyne, they'll get Shaniqua instead.

A Lighter Shade of Black: D-Mob to Crow in Fight for NY - he picks up a sense of honor and respect that he didn't seem to have in Vendetta and deploys Even Evil Has Standards several times.

Published by Konami, Rapstar is not a fighting game but a karaoke game. Def Jam Rapstar was released on October 5, 2010.

Without hold of the license, the future of the Def Jam series as a fighter is questionable at best. While Icon ended up being mediocre at best, when compared to the previous entries in the series, it was a severe drop in quality, and thus sunk EA Chicago completely. Rather than expanding on the formula from the previous games, they tried to make it more like a boxing game with rappers in it, which resulted in Something Completely Different from the rest of the series. A lot more.ДЇollowing that was Def Jam: Icon developed by EA Chicago, who were the creators of an entirely different series: Fight Night. Also, while Vendetta is a wrestling game, Fight for NY gives much more leeway and balance to other fighting styles and techniques, making it a Fighting Game. Furthermore, once you start using more than one style, the exact combination of styles chosen and your character's build will affect the resulting move sets and attacks your character uses. note Not only are there the five basic fighting styles of Streetfighter, Kickboxer, Wrestler, Martial Artist, and Submissions, but fighters with the same style often use different moves depending on the size and build they're given when creating them. The player can also choose between several voice types note Except on the GameCube version, where there is only one voice type available due to the lower file space of the console's minidisc format and their own fighting style, which is fairly individual to the characters. Unlike the four pre-set characters in the first game, the player is able to create their own character. The outcome of this Mob War is going to rest on the the protagonist's shoulders. However, after barely any time as one of D-Mob's fighters, the protagonist finds out that D-Mob's criminal empire and his hold over New York has been weakened, allowing another syndicate led by Crow ( Snoop Dogg) to challenge his for control of New York. The player plays as the SUV's driver, a fighter looking to make it big in the fight circuit, and who plans to use the rescue of D-Mob from police custody as the big break he needs. D-Mob has just been arrested and is being brought in to police custody when the car transporting him gets broadsided by an SUV. The sequel, Fight for NY, developed by AKI again, picks up immediately after the first game. Upon defeating him, they leave with their girlfriend and the ending sets up for the sequel. In the end, after they've beaten all of the other fighters, the protagonist faces off against D-Mob himself. In the story, the protagonist's injured friend Manny calls them to ask that they take his place in an underground street fight, and to help him pay a debt to the underworld boss D-Mob ( Christopher Judge), who happens to be hooked up with the protagonist's old flame. In the game, the player has to pick from four different characters to use in the story mode.

Released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, the concept for the game is a combination of Professional Wrestling and hip hop, featuring several rappers, mostly from Def Jam Recordings, instead of professional wrestlers. The first game, Def Jam Vendetta, was developed by AKI Corporation (now Syn Sophia known for WWF No Mercy and other wrestling games in Western countries). Def Jam is a 3D video game series published by EA.
