By knocking our opponent backward into the crowd, the nearest crowd member simply put our opponent into something of a full nelson, allowing us to walk up, grapple, and then perform a slam move with the help of the crowd member.ĭef Jam Vendetta had a story mode, though it wasn't a terribly deep one.

Each and every environment in the game is fully interactive, allowing you to slam your opponents into objects, use scattered weapons, or actually involve the crowd in the action. There is no ring in Fight for NY rather, you will be brawling in one of several different urban, almost Fight Club-esque areas. Wrestlers will do more slams and suplexes, whereas kickboxers will rely on brutal strikes more heavily.Įnvironments will also play a big part in the game's action. Fight for NY features five distinct fighting styles-including kickboxing, street fighting, martial arts, submissions, and wrestling-that each character will make use of, so your style of strikes and grapples will largely depend on that fighting style. Strikes and grapples are weak and strong, depending on the amount of pressure you put on each button respectively (holding down the button performs a stronger strike or grapple). You will have two strike buttons, a grapple button, and a run button at your disposal on the four main controller buttons.
