Def Jam: Icon

By integrating hip-hop music, culture and lifestyle into gameplay, EA Chicago and Def Jam Interactive are pushing the boundaries of game development and bringing unique and innovative content to the next generation of gaming. Music is the cornerstone of hip-hop culture, so EA wanted to incorporate music and rhythm into the actual game mechanics. EA Chicago offers breathtaking action and groundbreaking beats as players live the life of a hip-hop mogul and go from rags to riches. DEF JAM: ICON infuses hip-hop culture into every aspect of the game, offering the intensity of street fighting without boundaries, but with style and rhythm. The music influences the way players fight in each location, and interactions with the environment and hazards become an important strategy to stay alive. The game's unique controls offer players a new way to fight, putting them in the shoes of celebrities such as Ludacris, T.I. and Big Boi. The innovative controls give players better feedback so they feel like they are actually executing the fighting moves. Players can now fight with the style and flash of the superstars.
