Excellent game!
By far the best in the series.
Graphics aren't the best, but still a major improvement from the first game.
Obviously you like rap music if you are interested in this game, so of course the music in the game is great.
There are plenty of rappers to choice to wrestle with, including a few pretty girls and movie stars.
Playing time for story mode is around 5 hours, unless you lose a lot :P haha
Can create your own character.
An amazing amount of moves are available with multiple fighting styles and combination to choose from.
If you ever played WWF no mercy on N64, its fighting design was made by the same production AKI.
Overall and absolute must have game.

9.5/10 can't get much better then this.

I first played this game at a friends house when it had recently come out, around 2004. 5 year later, I find myself still loving it, and finding more ways to enjoy it.

Being able to chose your fighting style, definitely adds a big amount to the game, that the original Vendetta was missing. What style(s) you choose, and the order you choose them, really effect the way you have to use them to your advantage to defeat your opponent. Every opponent has there distinct personality. Even fighters with the same fighting style, use them differently, and have different levels of how aggressive they are towards you. Some are on you right away, other let the fight come to them.

The many different venues you have to fight in, make it interesting. Some have the crowd which gets in on the fight, or an environment which makes the fight more entertaining, like destroying your opponents cars. Some venues make certain fighting styles work harder to KO your opponent. Such as a martial artist in a wrestling ring. Others cater an advantage to it.

The use of real life characters in the game, as people you must fight make it seam more realistic, and authentic. It also gives a new twist, over fighting people who actually are boxers, or Pro Wrestlers.

The Game play can seam a bit tricky at first, but like most fighting games, timing, and watching what your opponent does really help you understand the game, and how to beat it. Definatly one of my favorite games of all time. I typically go for first person shooters like Call of Duty, or RPG's like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But I found this game to be amazing.

Overall, it's not to difficult, and it's not too easy. Having 3 levels of difficulty make it so your uncle could play it, and enjoy it, or true hardcore gamers also could.

bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

Right when I got the game. I was amazed on how perfect it looked. The way you can create and customize your fighter is excellent. The fighting and how you can mix your fighting styles is insane. You can fight in urban settings like Fight Club then win money to stylize your fighter. I recently owned the game but one of my cousins stole it and sold it somewhere. I decided to check the internet for it and I ended up finding it on ebay. So after a few lost bids I finally won and got the game. Best game I ever played in my life.
