As a street brawler, Brad knows there is no such thing as a fair fight and will use any means necessary to achieve victory – including a vicious assortment of battle-tested fighting styles, double-team attacks and weapons such as shovels, bottles, pipes and bats to beat the enemy into submission. Fighting alone is no easy task, as partners come into play allowing the player to pull off fantastic double-team moves. The player can send enemies flying through the air as their partners catch and slam them onto the concrete.





Players can also challenge their friends to multiplayer matches in Urban Reign, using the PS2 multitap to get up to four players into the fray at once. More than 60 unique characters – each a master of their own respective fighting style – are available for use in the game's gritty environments, complete with obstacles and destructible objects. Multiplayer game modes include head-to-head and team brawls, Weapon Battle mode in which characters try to hold onto one weapon for as long as possible to claim victory, and Destruction Battle mode in which teams fight the clock and each other in an attempt to destroy their enemy's object.





Urban Reign is set for a release shortly on PS2.
