Def Jam Vendetta is a video game. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube.
Gameplay
The game features a largely unmodified "Aki engine" with some minor button mashing elements added, no create a wrestler mode, and significantly speedier gameplay. The game plays very similarly to WWF No Mercy, and features a lengthy story mode that allows you to level up and enhance one of four player characters in your quest to become the most well known star in this urban fighting league.Reaction
The response to the game was mainly positive, with fans citing the basic gameplay and presentation as suberb, but many lamented the loss of key Aki features such as "gimmick matches" like the ladder match and the cage match, plus the lack of any true create-a-wrestler mode.Story
You have a choice between 4 fighters. Briggs, a tough as nails soldier, Proof, an ex-superbike racer, Tank, a massive Japanese fighter, and the Spanish Spider.
When you choose your character you are called to help out your friend Manny by taking his place as a street fighter. Once you've beaten Scarface, you get your first girlfriend, Deja. Other girls will come up to you and you have to choose which one you prefer as your girlfriend and they'll fight each other.
Eventually, N.O.R.E. will challenge you to a fight at Grimeyville, but before that fight, you get a new change of clothes and almost get in a fight with D-Mob. Not long after that, Manny signs you and him up for a tag team tournament. Eventually, Ludacris challenges you to a fight in Club Luda. When you get to Club Luda, your girlfriend leaves with a lesbian. After the fight, D-Mob says that you and Manny are nothing. He says that if you want the power and respect, they have to beat him at the Def Jam tournament. Manny tells you to stop fighting, but you ignore him.
DMX challenges you but first you have to overcome what the Dragon House has to offer. Then you have to fight in the finale of the tag team tournament against Method Man and Redman. After that, you fight DMX with the protective gear sent to you by Angel Christina Milian (your girlfriend who was taken by D-Mob) and once you beat DMX, you receive an email by Angel saying that they need should talk. When you arrive at The Face Club, it is revealed that D-Mob has sent House, Pockets and Snowman to stop you from coming to the Def Jam tournament. You defeat them, but just as you are sighing in relief, Manny knocks you out with a baseball bat and joins D-Mob's side against his will.
At the tournament, Manny and Angel are distraught, until you come walking through the door towards the ring (D-Mob is, of course, furious). You fight his four best men one-on-one, and finally get your chance. You and D-Mob have an exchange and Angel leaves him to go to your side. Now, with the crowd laughing, he pulls out a gun, causing the crowd to panic. Attempting to kill you and Angel, Manny tries to wrestle the gun from him, but is accidentally shot in the stomach. This causes you to tackle D-Mob over the rail. After the fight, D-Mob is knocked out, and the police are around him. You then approach Angel, and as you walk out hand in hand, you smile and wink to the injured Manny.
Vendetta was followed by a sequel called .
