Def Jam: Fight For NY - The Takeover

Def Jam: Fight For NY - The Takeover is basically a prequel to Def Jam: Fight For NY on a portable console, so prepare for a lot of downgrades and other new features such as an RNG-based intro sequence where you take out damage before the fight even starts and Manny being the narrator of the story.

It would be the last Def Jam game developed by AKI, as Electronic Arts Chicago and Kudo Tsunoda would drop AKI out for Def Jam: Icon.

Oddities#

Incorrect voice clips for most characters#

A lot of characters have incorrect voice clips, often playing for the wrong character.

• The Hero character has the most issues in which most of the clips from the 6 voice choices are mixed up to multiple choices, for example the smooth voice having a gruff voice clip and when you win a voice clip from the cocky voice choice will be heard instead, some of these voice clips were even reused and slightly pitched down, depending on the voice the character has.
• Two characters have incorrect blazin' yells, that being Magic and Doc who use Nyne and Blaze's blazin' yells instead.

Baxter's Store Dialogue#

Despite Baxter running the Syndicate Urban Streetwear store in this game, none of Snowman's dialogue from the previous game was ever replaced to make this change.

Seizure Accessory#

When you lose a fight in the game while getting jumped, there is a chance where you can lose your jewelry in which something will pop up for it. It uses the same screen for when you unlock something, however it says Seizure Accessory meaning you actually lost the items.
