The premise behind the original Def Jam games was silly, but within the context of the game it worked. For the game’s PS3 (and Xbox 360) debut, EA decided to hand development duties over to EA Chicago, the studio behind the next-gen showcase title,...read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at Game Vortex
Conceptually, the Def Jam series has suffered since day one. But EA's latest dip into the hip-hop underground is (finally) filled with sensible incentives. Instead of nonsense fistfights between Def Jam's elite artists, now you'll play as a young tough...read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at The Onion
It's just two hairs short of a masterpiece. EA and Def Jam have set the bar really high for fighting games....read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at Detroit Free Press

The Def Jam franchise has always been rooted in surreal situations: brawlers in underground arenas, rappers assuming bruising alter egos and physics defying "blazing" moves that incapacitated their opponents. Supporting these battles on the streets of...read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at IGN
The single-player experience revolves around a particularly insane rags-to-riches tale, which lets face it, as the theme for a rap game is about as predictable as it gets. Following on from a suitably convenient sequence of events, your created player is...read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at Strategy Informer
This one's fun, no doubt about it, and the way the beats bang the environment is a must-see. But its lack of fighting depth definitely keeps it on the casual tip....read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at 1UP
The first two Def Jam games had the gameplay and polish to prove they weren’t vanity projects for rappers pitched by money-hungry execs eager to capitalize on a mainstream music trend. For the third release in the series, Icon takes the franchise in a...read the complete Def Jam: Icon review at GameTrailers
