This does help keep the game moving and keeps you from being killed while busy trying to select a weapon. For example, if you press the button twice it will instantly go to the second weapon of that category, instead of having to watch each one come onto your screen and then be put away until you finally get to the weapon you want. Weapons are divided by categories and then you cycle through your weapons with ease. However, they did a great job on how you select your weapons. It makes aiming a pain in the butt, and moving makes you feel like a slower version of the original Doom. No doubt this may be the game’s biggest problem. This is the clunkiest of all the clunky shooters from the PS2 and Xbox generation. The game becomes very repetitive as well and the story is spoon-fed to you through live-action cut scenes which are both strange and a poor choice in design.

For fans of the Tekken series (you can unlock Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law) or general beat-‘em-up games, Urban Reign is an attractive and slightly addictive shame that will most likely appeal.The graphics look dated and the game doesn’t run smoothly, along with janky animations. Weapons and the environment can all be used to your advantage and of course, in typical fashion your characters can be upgraded.

Apart from this, there are also Challenge modes where you can use your 60 unlocked characters and team them up for street carnage. In the end, the story mode took just over 2 hours to beat but the unlockable extras kept me interested. The 100 Mission storyline sounds daunting, but was a relatively painless experience apart from the occasional level where you have to struggle to beat a typically cliché half-gorilla/half-man freak armed with an axe. Also – as you’d expect from the Tekken creators, the fighting and grappling animations are both rewarding and fun to watch with each character having a different style of fighting including wrestling, karate, brawling, capoeira and more. What does save this game however is the impressive “team-play” modes where an AI partner joins you allowing for co-operative combos and teeth-shattering double-up moves. If I don’t sound excited – its because this game really doesn’t offer much more than a sequence of three button presses and a lot of frustrated swearing. Brad is your typical one-dimensional muscle-head with the personality of a caged wolverine, but he proves to have a soft-spot when he runs into Shun Ying Lee – a curvaceous lady in trouble with the Chinese mob (she also owns a restaurant).So after some background info (most of which I immediately forgot) you embark on 100 kicking, punching, throwing missions through streets, dojos and rooftops. There are over 60 unlockable characters overall, but you start off on the Story Mode as Brad. From the masters of beat-‘em-up games Tekken and Soul Calibur, Urban Reign certainly looked promising – however the end result is difficult to recommend to everyone. This PS2 exclusive took me back to the days of the arcade classic Final Fight – basically a game where you roam the streets as a hard-as-nails renegade beating the living daylights out of cliché bad guys.
