Urban Reign (PS2) REF MAP 220

USED ORIGINAL GAME BOXED WITH MANUAL GWO ORDER

I know it's a long way off and it's not even going to be thought of until a general level of sales have been confirmed, but Urban Reign needs a sequel.

The idea of a street fighter sweeping the streets of all gangs that stand before him is an appealing one and the game is an enjoyable experience, what else would you expect from the creators of Tekken and Soul Caliber?

What the game lacks is the animated depth in the story mode, that allows the story to be properly visualised, instead of just recieving mission bulletins before commencing. Also, more moves need to be implemented and an element of uniqueness about each story mode (e.g. When the star learns a new ability, a selection of moves could be learnt, rather than the character learning the exact same moves at the exact same time on each story mode).

All in all it's a solid game with the foundations of a good series, but it needs some cosmetic work to pad the game out and make it into a memorable game. Blood, more interaction with the surroundings, more realistic weapon attacks....In truth it's just basic updates and improvements needed for this game to become a really good game, but it's got all the tools in place.
