Def Comedy Jam - All Stars Vol. 4 (DVD)

Advantages: Nothing to complain about
Disadvantages: Could have sqeezed one more show in

...I cannot comment in comparison to the rest of the series, as I have not seen the others, however I found this DVD which is a collection of three episodes of pure black comedy to be one of the best I'd ever seen. Its amazing how all of the acts are still as funny today, despite them all being performed 12 years ago, as I am only 15 it shows how you did not have to be there at the time to get the jokes. The O.J. Simpson trial is one of the main themes here, so it is evident that the process had recently been completed. There are various angles which th comedians go into concerning the matter, all obviously ending hilariously. Something which attracted me to buying this DVD out of the collection was the lin-up of many familiar faces who apparently had began their journey to success from this comedy series.

Advantages: Wrestle as well-know rappers
Disadvantages: Nothing to do once complete

...with a laid-back attitude to life, which when ultimately you fight him you find to be a serious challenge. Your main objective is to get up in the undergound. It is dissappointing as for the story mode you must choose one of a very limited, 4 characters. They should have included a create-a-fighter mode, however this wasn't brought in until the next title.

Also the MCs themselves choses these locations and their special moves, this gives an extra level of authentitcity to the Def Jam title. The gameplay is very... Read review

Advantages: Addictive gameplay.
Disadvantages: Not enough gameplay time!

...gameplay. You could say it imitates wrestling quite well as it has the same concept except it is out on streets etc. Street Fighting and Wrestling are just two of the styles used in this gameplay. The story mode is pretty straight forward fights all over America but doesn't include nearly as much stuff as the PS2 version. For starters, it doesn't have regular intervals of stories and videos probably because of the tiny amount of memory on a PSP game. All in all, I think this is a good game but I, personally, would have wanted some more gameplay and a bit more stories from the game. In addition to this, I would say that if you have the PSP version but not the PS2 version, either wait for the Def Jam ICON to come out and buy that or sell your PSP version and buy the PS2 one as this is much, much better. Thank you for reading my review... Read review
