According to the news, Def Jam Interactive and Electronic Arts announced that the game DEF JAM: ICON is set to hit stores March 2007. The game, which is for Playstation3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles, is said to be the next generation in video gaming; like Lauren Wirtzer, VP Marketing, Def Jam Enterprises concluded: ?DEF JAM: ICON will guarantee the ultimate combination of a real hip hop experience and revolutionary fighting game play.? The game will feature action street while the players live out the life of a hip hop mogul through T.I., Ludacris or Big Boi of Outkast.
Music is the cornerstone of hip hop culture so we wanted to incorporate music and rhythm into the actual game play mechanics. In DEF JAM: ICON, we are changing the way fighting games are played! We are completely innovating the role of the environments in the games, moving from the typical lifeless arenas. The hip hop celebrities are fighting in to environments that play an instrumental part in the fight where they will react to the music and interact with both characters like a third fighter.
- says Kudo Tsunoda, executive producer and General Manager of EA
