Game features:

Being a 36 year old white guy from the suburbs, I'm all over this

Exactly what I was thinking. When this drops I will be 36 and likely all over this.

They need to go back to fighting games...the first two on PS2/GC/Xbox(2) were awesome. Not this.....*sigh*.

So will this have all the cussing in the original songs, cause if not there may not be much content to work with

haha, there are going to be some classic gangster white boy you tube videos once this thing drops. Can't wait.

I also wish they would go back to the original games. Those were some of the best fighting games on the PS2 & Xbox

eventhough the first one was 'wwe no mercy' in a bare bones version (and still great), i enjoyed Fight for NY sooooooo much more!

Damn I was really hoping for another fighting game. Def Jam Icon sucked ass but Fight for NY was awesome.

Swagnificant!

i loved Fight for NY.

I'd say this being a Mature game is a lock; all there other games save for the original have been 17+

I'd get the game if all the new garbage wasn't on there, or the old school stuff heavily outweighed the new. Wu-Tang? YES! Lil' Wayne? NO!

I'm getting the collector's edition that comes with a 40 oz Malt Liquor and a gun.

I've been waiting for a game like this to come out. I hope it's damn good.

Another vote for Fight For NY. Great game.

I wonder how much Def Jam had to pay to license these songs...I mean, more than half of the ones listed in the first post weren't even released under Def Jam.

• 2Pac - I Get Around (Atlantic/Interscope and BMG/Jive)
• 50 Cent – I Get Money (Aftermath/Interscope)
• Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg – Nuthin’ But a “G” Thang (Death Row/Interscope)
• Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger (Roc-A-Fella/DefJam)
• Lil’ Wayne – A Milli (Cash Money/Universal)
• The Notorius B.I.G – Juicy (Bad Boy/Arista)
• Slick Rick – Children’s Story (DefJam)
• T.I. featuring Rihanna – Live Your Life (Grand Hustle/Atlantic and DefJam)
• Wu Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M. (Loud)
• Young Jeezy featuring Kanye West – Put On (DefJam)

This game has to be better then Get on Da Mic. Not sure how they would do it though.

There's a quote out there saying they used that game as an example of what they didn't want to do.

Where's Eric B & Rakim? or some classic LL?

Well, it's officially rated T for Teen. I'm officially rating it an F for Fail. You don't make a rap karaoke game and use radio edits.

I'll probably just do what I do on Rock Band and change up the lyrics on my own to include whatever profanity belongs in there. I'm always singing the f-bomb version in Radiohead's "Creep", for instance. Unless the game engine can catch that sort of thing and hurt your score...

No, they did confirm players don't get penalized for using the real lyrics.

Is the microphone wireless? The bundle might be worthwhile if I can get a wireless mic out of the deal.

No, from what I read is wired.
