I've played the demo 4 times, and although it's fun, it's definitly lost it's touch in comparison with the DJ:FNY game,

It looks pretty good, but IMO the controls are a bit wacky! I loved using the right stick in Fight night but in this game it's weird and hard (maybe that's just me) using it for fighting and scratching (which i don't seem to get right)

Although the background plays a big roll in this game, (i was afraid of that when seeing the gameplay videos), it doesn't play out to be such a big impact on the fighting alltogether

What also bothers me, is there is no healthbar or indicator when the fight is over.. The screen just turns white.. Athough that's maybe because this is a demo.

EA has got to change a couple of things in my opinion, but seeing that won't happen, i don't think this game is gonna be a buy for me.. I'll just wait and pray they make the next def jam just like Fight for NY......

Ok, the graphics are very nice, but the controls are bad, it also feels extremely S-L-O-W.

Stupid demo too, the fight is about 1-2 minutes long and that's it.

I did say I'd post some proper impressions of this but I've been dead busy. Also, I wanted to try out the demo first to see what tweaks they had made, the version I had was pretty early.

There is definitely an option to turn a HUD on though I can tell you that much. It'll be in the pause menu somewhere if it's there.

Will pop back once I've had another go.

Demo wasn't that interesting...and yes...the gameplay was slow.

Deleted it after a couple of plays.

I thought the fighting system was very....clunky and stiff, but the graphics were great.
