The best fighting game ever made that isn't on a 2D plane, Def Jam: Fight For New York was developers AKI firing on all cylinders. Having been working with wrestling moves and brawler-style animations for years, FFNY took things out to the streets.

Being years ahead of its time, environmental damage, crowd interactions, weapon pickups and everything in between was yours for the taking - not to mention the graphics themselves were absolutely stunning.

The might of EA's production budget meets the proficiency of the finest wrestling developer of all time? Hell yes, and this more than deserves a modern day incarnation.
