Moreover, Ludacris still has his cornish hairdo, which in summer he would have trimmed. The game proceeds like Fight for NY, with many of the same combat venues and stores. The plot is not told via vocal scenes anymore. For The Takeover, the tale goes through text and Sidekick messages are received. The Takeover includes, in addition to practically all the features present in the first game, additional nasty movements, four new locations and 68 playable characters.

The styles are very significant in the game, affecting the way you fight and how powerful different moves are. In addition, the unlockable special attacks are a masterful touch to the game. There are dozens to choose from and each are beautifully wicked. They include things like the Speedbag, where your character dukes and weaves delivering a series of powerful punches to your enemy and then grabs him by the head and punches him into a limp-bodied flip.
Another starts with a series of head-smacking holds and throws and ends with your character running up and kicking a guy, lying face down on the ground, square between the legs, flipping him into the air.
While these special attacks are the peak of the game's brutality, the standard moves in the game still manage to convey the brutality of a street fight. Blows send blood shooting from mouths; your opponent and sometimes you cringe and wave your hand pleadingly before particularly brutal kicks and punches. It doesn't help that you can use some of the environment to beat on people.
You can throw people headfirst into cinderblock walls, or bend a pipe over someone's head. Heck, even the rowdy crowd gets involved, shoving, grabbing, even beating people who get too close to them. The game manages to keep things fun with a lighting fast pace and a nice variety of locations. You can fight in cages, boxing rings, basements, against three people, in subways, next to inviting windows. It makes for loads of fun. While the game's graphics are extremely slick, featuring dead-on renders of some of raps biggest stars, the PS2 version of the game does suffer from the occasional bit of odd frame drops.
The drops appear random and don't seem to be connected to what's happening on screen or how many fighters are present. The controls also suffer from occasionally drops in functionality. Multiplayer is the only other disappointment, allowing for up to four to pound on each other on the same screen, but not supporting online play at all.
Despite the occasional glitch and lack of online play, Def Jam: Fight for New York is an excellent fighter that manages to revive a dying genre without needing to recreate it.
