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.

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.

Dark Earth
Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC. Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness. To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests. After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.
