Players take the role of a mercenary thug, hired to serve as bodyguard to a prominent street gang leader, in this beat-'em-up adventure by Namco. Throughout Urban Reign's approximately 100 short missions, the player's character will make new friends and battle many, many foes, using both bare knuckles and improvised weaponry. The game's fighting engine is inspired by the solid mechanics of Tekken and Soul Calbur, and selected characters from those popular Namco fighting game series play cameo roles in Urban Reign.

PLOT:
Urban Reign follows the exploits of "brawler-for-hire" Brad Hawk, who is hired to find a kidnapped gang member by the swordswoman Shun Ying Lee. Brad fights his way through the street gangs of Green Harbor, a fortified city in the U.S. As he does so to get some answers, the true machinations of the protagonists reveal themselves and things become more complicated.

GAMEPLAY:
Urban Reign features both single player and multiplayer action with both multiple AI opponents and human controlled characters on the same screen fighting at the same time. The characters can move in the environment, pick up weapons, throw objects, give instructions to AI partners, and pull off moves on multiple opponents. There are low and high grapples, air grapples, counters and recounters each with its own animations for each character.
