Fight for NY is a great progression for the series, but isn't quite to the level of a classic fighter. That said, I do have to warn that I wasn't nearly as enamored with Vendetta as J Rob, who reviewed EA's previous fighting effort. If you liked the first, you'll love Fight for NY. A lot has been done and the sequel is much better for it. EA has added a robust cast of characters, arenas, and an awesome Story Mode along with turning Def Jam from a strict wrestler into a true brawler. Not so with Def Jam: Fight for NY, sequel to last year's Vendetta. Maybe there's one gameplay wrinkle added to make the update appear worthwhile, but overall, fighting game sequels tend to be highly derivative. Usually a couple of new arenas are added, one or two new fighters thrown in for good measure, and a few costumes slipped onto beloved characters to make them seem new or different. Fighting games - even great fighting games - have a habit of doing very little with their sequels.
