Def Jam: Icon demo ain't what's hot on the streets, playa
16
From Joystiq.com : -- "Beyond the aesthetically pleasing environments is little more than a clunky, stand-up fighter that makes War Gods look like Virtua Fighter. Harking back to the early days of the 3D fighter, Icon is like watching two well-fed hobos fighting over some booze and then something explodes. Even the fighters themselves can't keep pace with the hectic, ever changing world around them. With such a lack of moves to perform, it's not like there's anything to hold them back. Like the era of fighting games it resonates, Icon is something we'd rather forget."

1 - Agreed!
I was just jumping on the site this morning specifically to trash Def Jam Icon. The first game was a blast! Me and my friends played it for hours, non-stop... this newer version is a pile of trash. The demo has already been deleted.
Come on EA - use your imaginations to create NEW franchises, don't break things that aren't broken. 'Fight Night: Round 4 *** With Turntable Rewind'

wow atleast I'm not the only one I never played the first game but I decided to try this out and I thought it was a joke from EA, it's soo lame, it's not even fun, and they don't even tell you how to play until AFTER you just played and than it hardly says anything. Fuc* you EA!

4 - they shouldn't have dropped AKI
AKI are responsible for the best fighting engine bar none. The original Def Jam game used it & that's why it was as fun! The biggest ball dropper for this new mediocre game isn't the fact it's a clunker, it's that the controls have been horribly mapped & there doesn't seem to be a way (at least not in the demo) to end the fight! Incredibly dissapointing...

The graphics are really nice, but the game didn't make any sense at all.

11 - Why did the gas pump explode?
The graphics are nice, they needd to tweak the gameplay a little bit. The fire looked cool too, but how does punching a gas pump make it explode?

11.1 - EA does know............
that the gas is stored in tanks below ground don't they? Maybe they think gamers are stupid.
Anywho...........
With the announcement of All-Pro Football 2K8, EA is now useless to me!

TRASH THAT GAME AND TRY AGAIN! The only gripe I had with EA is there consistent on-line play problems occured on both xbox and xbox 360 games. But this game REALLY sucks.

"Ps3 fans would have appreciated this demo A LOT more then 360 users. Know your market. Big Mistake!"
Even the PS3 fans would of thought that this game was cr@ppy. I watched the trailer on my 360 and it looks like a high res Xbox 1 game, the graphics are rubbish, lip syching is all over the place and the music is not that good. If i was you, i would save that £40 or £50 for Crackdown, Forza Motorsports, Battlefield: Bad Company, Halo 3, Motorstorm, Resistance Fall of Man, Call of Duty 3, Bioshock, MGS4.
