Instead of the fairly far-fetched story of rappers fist-fighting for territory, Icon has you assuming the role of a 'hands-on' label exec that deals with problems personally, whether the problem is a fan harassing an artist, overzealous paparazzi, or rival labels antagonizing your prospective artists.ĭuring the course of the Build-A-Label mode, you'll fight different opponents to deal with the aforementioned threats. After finalizing your character you can use him in the Build-A-Label mode, which is basically the story mode. Initially, you can create your fighter, customizing his appearance, fighting style, height, and weight. Icon puts you in the shoes of a fighter/future record label exec as he climbs the ranks of the record industry.

Def Jam Icon has finally arrived, and while it has made some great improvements in some areas, it has also made some serious mistakes in others, making a game that shows but doesn't fulfill its potential.

However, for the most part, the game was well received, and the sequel made strides that made the game even more accepted, so its next gen iteration was highly anticipated. The idea of rappers as fighters or wrestlers seemed hokey at best. When Def Jam Vendetta was announced, many gamers were skeptical.
