Especially those with little interest in either the realm of hip hop and contemporary US urbana or street-style fighting will nonetheless find this one a true gem coming pretty much from nowhere.
Its strength lies in not only excellent production values from the gurus at EA Chicago, who previously gave us the awesome Fight Night Round 3. The latest Def Jam, third in the series, relies equally on a supremely rich substrata of culture and style, allowing a glimpse into its subject matter that's immediately both entertaining and enlightening.
Sure, it may not be included in any urban studies classes right now, but perhaps it should be, for in a couple of hours with DJI you'll learn more about the various artists and reference points associated with hip hop, rap and the so-called inner city than from tome after tome and volume upon volume of academic research.
This thing beats sitting in front of BET all day, something that the network probably acknowledged by volunteering for a cameo. Essentially, players assume the role of an up and coming music producer in the employ of a media mogul who trusts the rookie with building a whole new label.
This entails a fascinating story mode, replete with real life performers like Ludicrous, E40, The Game, Ghostface Killa and many others. In addition, cutscenes intertwine to shed more light on proceedings as the main character interacts with both good and nasty playas, from crooked cops and lecherous women rendered with EA Chicago's penchant for the voluptuous and curvaceous to hostile competitors. He's as convincing as always here and you can't help but like him, which feels good. Now, aside from being a virtual intensive course in the cultural affairs of the rap community, DJI dishes out a capable street fighting mechanism that keeps the story going along.
You see, each time the main character comes upon any sort of opposition, the beef gets untangled via a one on one superimposed over your typical cityscapes: gas stations, penthouses, nightclubs, the hood, a rooftop and so on.
Antagonists have individual fighting styles and employ a relatively comprehensive, if not long, list of moves, some devastating, some rather weak. The catch is that EA Chicago decided to use scenery as an arsenal in itself, so the backdrop, which pumps along in rhythm with the song that's playing to the combat, provides a host of lethal traps to snap unsuspecting chumps. This adds depth to the game, as rivals try to maneuver each other into these pitfalls of exploding fuel pumps, aggressive lowrider cars and kickboxing strip dancers.
Yes, that's the kind of mood you should look forward to with DJI. It gets oddly surreal at times, with entire skylines splintering post especially potent combos. Pretty much anything in the arenas can be destroyed somehow, certainly the fighters themselves, who show injuries and bloody marks quite vividly.
