User Rating: 6.3 | Urban Reign PS2
By EliteDForce | Review Date:
Nothing short of mediocre, choppy graphics, simple mechanics and a frustrating single player campaign. The game attempts an urban "ghetto" theme, and mildly achieves. Does that make the game good? No. The enviorments are all bland and boring, the weapons are all basically the same, and the characters are either horrible or okay.

The combat system is decent, with grapples and normal hitting. All combos are extremely simple, and ultimatly its a button mashing game as far as that goes.

Gameplay - 5
Over simple mechanics and a below average fighting system.

Graphics - 6
Choppy, blocky, and ugly.

Sound - 6
Nothing great, nothing horrible.

Overall - 6.3
The only strong point of the game is its somewhat amusing multiplayer. Other than that, it does everything pretty much half-assed.
