Okay, the thing about Def Jam: Vendetta is that every time you defeat an opponent, you get five points. You start the game with like 8 rappers and 4 generic muscle guys. Then after you save your points you get to unlock new fighters. There are a total of 74 characters to unlock, which is daunting to say the least. For 25 points you can unlock one of an array of no name muscle guys. Fifty points gets you a rapper. Ghostface is 50 points, as is Slick Rick, Scarface, Lil Kim and, um, Carmen Electra. One hundred points gets you Ludacris. We have been playing team matches because then you have two opponents so we get 10 points for each victory, rushing us onwards to more unlocked rappers. There are a couple of rappers that cost 250 points, you don't get to see them until you've saved up that much so if Brian and I aren't playing the game we're guessing who the 250 point rappers are. LL Cool J is a hot favorite, sometimes I like to think that Russell Simmons is vain enough to make himself a 250 point fighter, but then he does like to stay in the shadows.
The other conversation we have is how cool the game would be if they made it today, you could get Juelz, Jeezy, and obviously Jay Z. Jay would be wearing a suit and he could partner up with the guy from the train and they could freestyle about Cam'ron all fucking day.
