10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are 10 Years Old

6. Def Jam: Fight For New York

Over to something that was most definitely fun to play though, and easily one of the best fighting games of all time, as well as a great title for multiple friendly showdowns - Fight For New York was the sequel to Def Jam Vendetta, an off-the-wall title that saw wrestling developers AKI take a large amount of real life rappers, and create overblown in-ring versions of them. Being that AKI were on top form back in 2004, this sequel remains imminently playable and graphics-wise actually holds up pretty well. By adding in a wealth of environmental interaction as well as taking the fight everywhere from clubs to parking lots and construction sites, what really makes FFNY so special is the combat system, which delivered the hits and finishing moves with enough force to level the entire West Coast. With a fantastic career mode and a bonkers roster that gave you everyone from Henry Rollins to Snoop Dogg (the latter turning up as a kung-fu master), all voiced and with perfect likenesses, FFNY is a hidden gem of the shiniest quality.
