Electronic Arts released this producer commented video of Def Jam: Icon showcasing the directional fighting system. Technically this game is really good looking.
Update: Added a second video showing the DJ Control system allowing the player to use the music during the fight.

@ twoism: Yes :)
Is anyone else not a fan of the analog stick gameplay mechanics? I prefer the button and directional pad methods to fight.
The use of the right analog stick to pull of fighting moves isn't something i prefer, even for fight night round 3, i switched to config 3 and used the buttons and directional pad to unleash moves. And online i got my ass kicked as i couldn't swap the controls to config 3.
Def jam 2 had an awesome fighting system and i loved using the button and directional pad to unleash some bone crunching combos.. It's going to take me ages to get into the right analog stick mechanics
Def Jam fight for NY was awesome, i just hope this is up to par in terms of gameplay, i'm not 2 happy with all the moving deathtraps/background
but i mean to grapple and body slam or do some sick move like you could do in the old Def jam`s games that we come to expect. Thats what made that game fun....
Always wanted to beat the crap out of kid rock and tommy lee
I like the thought of a musical fighting game (though not with this MTV style execution) but I loved this game for what it used to be; a gritty create-your-style fighting game set in clubs and underground arenas with a distinct visual style and gut wrenchingly physical and viceral moves. Now it's.. Celebrity Death Match set in MTV animations. Which is fine! But they effectively erased the direction the series was going in before, and now there's nothing there in its place.
Bizarre Creations' "The Club" might fill that void though maybe? I admit I don't know a lot about that game.
