  • Long after the hayday of the beat em' up, Urban Reign would slide under the radar in 2006. But does it have more kick than we remember?

    This game was awesome. One of my most favorite games for the PS2, and yes I would love to see Bandai-Namco do either a HD Remaster or Remake for the PS5, a spiritual sequel to it, a straight up sequel to it set years after Brad's adventure, or a reboot.

    This is such a hidden gem on the PS2. I remember getting this for $10 new on a whim, and loved every minute of it. Definitely a challenging game, and unfairly so at times. Great review, and glad to see someone reviewing this gem!

      It's definitely one of the more underrated games! Cheers for watching ^_^

    I always passed by this back in the day, because the box art made it seem so generic. I need to check this out, though, especially with the Tekken characters in there!

      It's not great as you say, but the game underneath is pretty good!

    Great game but I wish the parry and blocking system were better. It’s literally Dark Souls near the final few missions

    Last few levels are mental hard but great game. This was one of my very first videos haha. I had to cring and watch it back. Great coverage as always

      Yeah it gets absolutely brutal at points. But good fun still! Thanks bud!

    I’m playing through right now. The computer outnumbers you regularly and can pull some cheap moves but the fighting is so fun I don’t even care to hit retry 30 times. Lol

      One of the more underrated PS2 games, methinks!

    Great review as always. It would be fun to double feature this with Death by Degrees

    3D roaming beat 'em ups have always been a touch clunky but this does look like fun. 50 characters though, blimey! :)

      Think it benefits from really sturdy mechanics here. Shame it was a one-off :)

    This looks fun and funny. And it has 2 player co-op with the code to unlock it? I'm sold.

    • @Steadysphere
      @Steadysphere  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! Very handy for those wanting to jump straight in to co-op

      @Steadysphere  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think they are copies given for either reviewers or for shops to demo. Should have the full game!
