Def Jam Fight for NY: The Venues

There are 24 Venues featured in Def Jam Fight for NY. Click the links to see an example of the levels featured in the game. Some venues have two versions to them(Like The Face Club did in the orignal Vendetta). Some may have a During hours(With a crowd) and After Hours(No crowd). Sometimes the second version of a level may contain some things the first version did not.

Levels contain what are known as sticky points. A sticky point could be anything, a wall, a wooden pillar, a pile of bricks, basically anything you can throw an opponent into. Once an opponent is thrown onto a sticky point, they will "rest" there a bit, allowing you to preform a grapple move that interacts with that weapon. For example, if you were to throw someone into a fence, they would "stick" there for a short period of time. If you were to grapple them, you'd do a move that interacts with the fence, say slamming their head onto the fence a few times.

*The Foundation- An underground fightclub above Highbrige, the Foundation is the perfect place to get your start in the underground fight circuit. You'll pretty much find it all here, speakers that blast out music with bottles atop of them, four pillars that support light and a place to knock your opponent aganist, a blood thristy crowd that can help you in a fight with double team moves and weapons and even soaked cardboard placed on the floor... to soak up any blood.

The Pillars can be used to jump off of to preform some high risk moves, a place to throw your opponent aganist, or even be turned into a weapon whe broken. Also, if you destroy a lightsource here, you'll notice the level will be a little bit darker.

-Omar Epps, Capone, Trick, Bo and Nyne can be found at this venue

*Gun Hill Garage- Match Premise: Demolition- Gun Hill Garage is located underneath "The Gauntlet". In an underground parking, you and your opponent fight in tight place surrounded by a crowd, and two SUVs. Although teh crowd may hand you weapons, the SUVs themselves are the main weapons in this venue. To win, you must destroy your opponent's vechicle, you can do this by throwing them onto the windshield, smash him on the hood, throw him into the head lights, and maybe if it's loosened, smash your opponent's head using the car's door. But make sure to beat him down on his car, because messing your opponent up on your car... is actually helping him win.

*The Gauntlet- The Gauntlet is an octagonal cage located in the middle of a corwd that's looking for a fight. This venue hold legal sanctioned fights, and tournaments time to time, but there's tons of illegal stuff happening outside the ring. The Gauntlet can be used many different ways, the small caged atmosphere make it great for close combat fighting, while teh cage walls make for perfect high risk attacks. If you manage to break open the door, you may use it to your advantage by slamming it on your opponent's head.

The Gauntlet also has an "Intense" version t it. When it becomes intense, you'll notice some different lighting, also it usually means a tornament is going on.

*Hunt's Point Scrapyard- Located in the South Bronx, Hunt's point's fighting area is surrounded by old cars, a huge dumpster, a chain linked fence and a crowd(which is pretty samll compared to the one found in the Foundation or the Gauntlet). This venue is pretty special because it's mostly used by D-Mob's crew when they want to... solve personal issues. Knock your opponent's head aganist the dumpster to open it, and reveil a very special weapon.

After hours: Although, when this venue is crawling with a crowd, not many secrets are exposed. Although when the crowd is gone, Hunt's point becomes a more darker venue, and areas once blocked by teh crowd are now reachable. You'll notice a group of barrels when the crowd is gone, smash your opponent aganist this, and you'll find a weapon that could be used to your advantage.

*The Heights- Remember Grimeyville from Vendetta? Basically take out the ring, and the barriers, and you have the Heights, N.O.R.E's strict rule venue. And that rule? Anything goes. There isn't much to interactive with within this venue, except for a few brick posts you can jump off off. The big thing to look out for is the barbed wire found near the end of the level, being thrown onto these can really hurt.

Within this bar venue, you'll be fighting infront of some pretty tough-and maybe drunk- bikers, who have no favorites, so teh first chance they get, they may turn on you.

At one end of the bar, you'll find a junkbox, and perfect place slam your opponent into. You'll also find a wooden pillar, another place you can preform a variety of moves. On teh other side you'll find a pool table, with plenty pool cues you can hit over your opponent's head, or you could just slam him into the table all together. The rest of the level is filled with rowdy drinkers that could hit you, or grab you out of no where.

Did I mention the part about how you're surrounded by a ring of flames? As the match goes on, the flames grow closer and closer. Make sure not to touch the flames though or you'll be burned and lose some serious health. But what's a burn compared to you having a blazin' move preformed on you into teh fire? How about a lost?

In Fight for NY, you are know longer forced to fight inside rings. You are no longer forced to obey "rope breaks" and "pinning an opponent for 3 seconds to win". In Fight for NY, you can go freely within a level, using whatever you come across. Basically, in Fight for NY, you can use the level to your advantage, or it could be used against you.

The levels in Fight for NY are different than the ones found in Vendetta. Instead of fighting in side a wrestling ring that was surrounded by a fence divider in the middle of a Church, a Warehouse and Clubs, you will be fighting in construction sites, subway platforms, clubs, burning warehouses and even cages... all ringless(unless you choose to fight in the Boxing ring).

Once again, the levels are fully interactive. Anything from wooden beams, speakers, lights and even the crowd can be used to help you, or used to hurt you.
One thing unique about the levels are weapons. There are basically three ways to get weapons, each giving you different kinds. You have your basic weapons such as bear bottles and light bulbs. These can be found throughout the level. Then, you have weapons that can even things up when you're being beat down, such as bats, and metal pipes, but these can only be given to you by the crowd. And finally, there are do it yourself weapons, such as wooden splinters, that you can only get by destroying the level its self(For example, if you were to break a wooden beam, you may use it's remains as a weapon).

Other than weapons, you can slam your opponent into anything within the level. Wooden beams, pool tables, juke boxes, all waiting for you to throw your opponent into them.

Another cool feature is that when the match because, all of that level may not be accessible. You may have to break something to enable you to venture on within a level. Another feature is that some levels contain a Ring-out feature, some match types even revolve around these feature. For example, say you're fighting on the Hotel Floor, you may want to toss your opponent out of one of the windows to win(Which is the premise of the window match).

Also, there are little things here and there that make the venues special. For example, if you bust a light source, the level will be slowly dimmer. Also, when you're playing in the warehouse match, the flames will slowly get closer, meaning the fighting area gets smaller.
