Better than "Beat Down." [Oct 2005, p.107]

There's no sense of progression, only a sickening sense of tedium as you're dropped into the next box of a level and take on another too easy minion, too tough boss, and the too bewildering camera.

With its slick visual polish and ample bone-crunching sound-effects, Urban Reign could have come out on tip. But thanks to an endless series of increasingly maddening and increasingly boring stages, you'll find yourself saying "No thanks," and turning off your PS2 and bringing this game back to the store. Xbox owners, be thankful you were spared this agony.

There isn't a plot to speak of, nor any gameplay elements beyond the fighting. But the fighting really is exceptionally fun for novices and experts, which makes this game extremely successful on its own terms.

This is simply an underground fighter that is more of a diversion and a guilty pleasure for those who like brutal street fighting with a bit of martial arts elegance.

Unfortunately the game grows stale rather quickly and is hampered by a ridiculous difficulty level and repetitive gameplay.

Be it frustration at the difficulty level or just boredom at the lack of variety, your Urban Reign is pretty much guaranteed to be a short-lived one.

Full of wasted potential. A disappointing effort from a developer that knows better.

Strangely addicting and fun for the first thirty minutes, that feeling soon wears off as the flaws in the gameplay slowly reveal themselves until you’re so frustrated that you will probably not be in the best frame of mind to complete game or play it for any length of time again.

Aside from its superior presentation, about the only really good thing that can be said for Urban Reign is that it is not available to offend on more than one console. That’s right PS2 owners, you can be proud you took the bullet for all gamerdom.

I have a bit of nostalgia for this game, but there were some issues with it. The AI can really gang up on you if you aren't careful. Visually speaking, it was solid for a PS2 game. The final boss of story mode was a pain in the neck if you didn't know what to do. Combat mechanics are solid, and characters do play differently. Story mode is a mixed bag, with weird difficulty spikes, and weird writing.

El mejor juego para jugar entre amigos por tener combos buenisimos , muchos estilo de lucha , armas , mapa de batalla y varios personajes . El punto debil es la historia muy simplona pero mirando que es un juego que esta hecho para dos jugadores pues no se apresta tanta atención . Muy correcto juego

I'm going to assume this as an attempt at making something like a Golden Axe or Double Dragon, I don't think it worked out too well for them. There is no point to the game story-wise. Battles, while you can use the environment for some unique things, are ultimately repetitive and boring after an hour or two. This game is a one trick pony that isn't even that good at it's trick, and is missing a leg.
SummaryIn Urban Reign, players assume the role of a gritty street brawler who has been hired by one of the city’s dominant gangs to protect its leader. Players are thrown into a full-blown turf war, involving gang corruption and street justice that spans from the neighborhood block all the way to the upper levels of city government. Urban Reig...
