common sense media says
Mature brawler set in the world of hip-hop music.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that many teens will want to play this fighting game because it features big hip-hop and rap artists, but it's very much an M-rated game. That's why this well-constructed game gets plenty of stars for quality but earns our rare "Off" rating for 17+. Characters punch, kick, and throw each other across the room; onscreen characters bleed after a severe beating. In-game harsh lyrics are common, including "bitches," "N"-words, and "hoes," and lines like "tell yo buddies I f--ked you right, tell 'em how you licked my b--ls."
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
It's a fighting game with punches, kicks, backbreaking throws, and even fighters who catch on fire. Onscreen characters will bleed after a severe beating, and will even catch on fire at an exploding gas station. You can cause objects to smash onto an opponent's body, or kick him when he is lying down, and watch as he turns black and blue.
Sex:
Some women dancing suggestively around a pole.
Language:
Many of the hip-hop songs feature strong language and derogatory comments. You will hear the "N" word, "bitches," "hoes," and motherf---er."
Consumerism:
Features 29 hip-hop songs including Big Boi's "Kryptonite," and Ludacris' "Get Back."
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
A few songs refer to drinking or getting high.

Good for a rental, but dont waste your time
Def Jam Icon is an interesting game to say the least. It has great graphics and a very innovative play style; however, the game is very short and can become boring after a couple hours of gameplay. If you want to play the game, I say rent it, instead of spending the 60$ on it.
