Def Jam: IconEA Chicago (Xbox 360)
Rappers kill each other all the time in real life, right? (Wrong. So very insensitive and wrong to even say such things.) So why not give gangstas a digital format to clobber each other into a mangled, bloody mess...and in glitzy, bling-blang HD to boot? If this sounds like your type of dream Def Jam: Icon is here to make your wildest of wild dreams come true.
Disturbingly true to its roots, Def Jam: Icon pits a boatload of MCs and their respective cliques in an all-out brawlfest that, like Def Jam Vendetta before it, becomes the missing link between gangsta-rap and the WWF. And according to its kill-or-be-killed storyline, a mogul like Suge Knight is The Undertaker. To clear up any misconceptions about hip-hop's violent bend, your character is a thug with loftier goals than skinning a man alive; he wants to become one of the genre's elite...by way of the fist.
