Editing Def Jam Vendetta (section)

==Gameplay==
''Def Jam Vendetta'' features a largely unmodified AKI engine, used in the company's ''[[Virtual Pro Wrestling]]'' games and its spinoffs with some minor "button mashing" elements added and more of an arcade than a simulation. The game plays very similarly to ''[[WWF No Mercy (video game)|WWF No Mercy]]'', and features a lengthy story mode that allows you to level up and enhance one of four player characters in your quest to become the most well known star in the urban fighting league and fight the undefeated underground boss, D-Mob (voiced by actor [[Christopher Judge]]).

Players can win in one of three ways; pin, submission or KO. Pins are done by pinning the opponent for 3 seconds before he can kick out. The player can trap opponents in holds that gradually weaken one of their body parts (head, body, legs and arms). This hold can be broken by touching the ropes. If one of those gauges reaches empty, the bones get broken and that player submits & automatically loses. Players can attack their opponent to build up a power gauge, letting them activate 'Blazin' mode. If the player successfully grabs an opponent in this state, he can perform a special move. If the opponent's health is low enough, they will be KO'd.

===Characters===
''Def Jam Vendetta'' features 46 playable characters, including real-life hip hop artists signed to [[Def Jam]] at the time, as well as original characters. [[Christina Milian]] appears as Angel Rodriguez, a non-playable character. Japanese rappers [[Dabo (rapper)|Dabo]] and S-Word appear exclusively in the game's Japanese release.
