(And I like some of the Defjam artists, but EA Trax must die) Law and Paul Phoenix from Tekken are unlockable characters, BTW, and there's also a Muay Thai fighter that might as well be Tony Jaa, from what I have read. It's a combination of arena fighting and a beat-em-up games together, only with more better character design and no shitty music. I think Urban Reign is basically like an improvement on what Def Jam Vendetta offers. I also like that different swords have different attacks.the katanaĭoes not handle the same way as the Chinese sword. Moves from Tekken, but when you have a Chinese sword, she gets some of Xiangua'sĪttacks. The main female character (the Chinese girl), for example. ![]() When you pick up various weapons, your character's combos change. Use the environment for more damage (throw guys onto cars, into chairs/tables, etc.),Īs well as focus on certain areas of the body to weaken them faster. Nasty-looking grapples, run up walls (and come down with attacks OR grapples), and If not all, the weapons have their own super attacks as well. YouĬan also do super attacks, and messing around in practice mode, I noticed that some, Juggle starters, moves that knock away multiple enemies, knock downs, etc. You can attack in various ways, like combos, You have one attack button, a grapple button,Ī counter button, and a run button. The best way to describe the game play is to say it's a fusion of Tekken and SoulĬalibur together in beat-em-up form. These are all things that you'd think would be obvious toĮveryone, but there's just too many button mashers out there playing these games. Guys at one time, you can't just blindly charge into the group and mash away.you Also since you are mainly fighting 3-4 other Countering is also easy forĪnyone that knows not to button mash. So you HAVE to master the counter button. Was Spike Speigal in the Cowboy Bebop dub.I keep thinking of that show now when ![]() The main character is voice by the same actor that Voice acting is actually decent enough so far, but some of the various Visually it looks like Tekken 4 to me (but a bit more impressive since there's multipleĬharacters on the screen), and has the same type of cinemas using the in-game character In general, be it movies, games, whatever.very nice), and great game play. Good storyline/cinema presentation,Īwesome soundtrack (reminds me of Tekken 3 mixed with great themes for fighting I think Urban Reign is pretty damn cool so far. While you can punch and kick, you can also do full on wrestling moves including a Stone-Cold Stunner.Put about 45 minutes of play time into the game, here's my initial impressions. The gameplay is rather simple in that you have a strike and a grapple button. There is plenty of room to move around and stuff to smash, however. ![]() Each mission is in its own confined area. Rather than walking through a level going left to right. While I have compared Urban Reign to games like Streets of Rage and Ninja Turtles it is a tad different. This would have been a much better game if it was a quarter of the length in my opinion. You can beat those games in like 30-60 minutes, but they are a blast to play and their length plays to their strength. Take a game like Streets of Rage II or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV. The reason for this is that the game is so repetitive. I get that Urban Reign is trying to give you as much bang for your buck as possible, but they could have cut the missions in half and it still would have been too much. The game has 100 missions! 100 freaking missions are you kidding me. I get a real kick out of how corny a lot of the dialogue is. The game takes itself way too seriously and the voice acting is a huge part of that. The voice acting is bad, but I mean that in a good way. However, you can clearly tell what console this game is made for and you can also tell that while Namco knows what they are doing with the hardware, this game did not exactly get a ton of money spent on it. The visuals in Urban Reign certainly make you realize this is a PlayStation 2 game. PlayStation 2 By Name, PlayStation 2 By Nature
