    The exploding levels are a barely-veiled, needlessly complicated, rip-off of Mortal Kombat's hotspots, while fighting lacks imagination and characters blur into one.

They should’ve made a Def Jam Fight for NY remaster for the PS3 rather than making whatever tf this game is... Now we’re talking about remasters; I’m still sitting here waiting for the Def Jam Fight for NY remaster for the PS4!… Full Review »
