I do not know what kind of ritual I would need to perform to have this game able to be remastered and playable on modern hardware. This is a copyright minefield. But, this is a game that defined the era to me. The gameplay is easy to pick up, tons of great match types. If there's anyway to bring it back, we need to at least try.

I love this game, it would be freaking awesome to be able to play it on PC (without an emulator)! Music was good (as expected), lot of fighters/rappers available, the fighting mechanics were good.

One of the first games I played on Xbox. Man, it was long time ago. Bring back those memories. Nice matchups, nic story line. Danny Trejo is beast. Hiphop is not my kind of music, but I really enjoyed this one.

IDK why people don't have this higher up because I always wanted to play this game , because not just the story but i wanna customize my character & try it out . unfortunately there's a lot of gatekeeping & lack of sales or overpriced that is stopping me from doing so i would be happy to play this

Long story short. It's not just my favorite game in the series and some of my favorite rappers and soundtracks that make this game so special for me, even if the legendary rapper DMX is unfortunately missing from this part. As a teenager, it even helped me manage my anger issues. It helped better than the anti-aggression training. In my opinion it is the best hip-hop fighting game of all time. There is no comparable game that showcases hip-hop so perfectly. Story, music, rappers, gameplay, even the customization options and clothing are on Point.

I have a PS2 and only have this game for it. I played this game as a 15 year old kid with all my friends and I still love playing this game. I’ve been it 100 times and it never gets old. It’s an absolute classic and everyone I ever talk to about it agrees it’s one of the best fighting games ever made.

Full Auto
Full AutoFull Auto gives 'gun it' a whole new meaning. It's a driving auto combat game in the vein of burnout and twisted metal. You'll drive through various courses set all over the world in all sorts of different environments and blow stuff up. You'll go from level to level completing various objectives and trying to get not only a great destruction score but first place to the finish line. If you’re unlucky enough to get blown up by someone, you can always ‘un-wreck’ and turn back the clock to get a second chance and turn the tables. When you’re done wrecking the AI, you can take the road war onto Xbox live where you can race and blowup up to 8 opponents.
