Def Jam Icon - Microsoft Xbox 360

I was surprised how the game's soundtrack actually drives the beat-matching combat, making every punch land with the music. The graphics hold up better than I expected for an older Xbox 360 title, and the career mode kept me busy for a few weekends.

The fight mechanics tie straight into the beat of the tracks, so landing a punch right on the bass drop feels incredibly satisfying. I've played through the story mode twice already and the way the environment reacts to the music still hasn't gotten old for me.

The hip-hop soundtrack is stacked with classics, and actually landing a punch to the beat is incredibly satisfying. I've spent hours just experimenting with different combos, and the customization options for your fighter are surprisingly deep.
