Modern games that truly play like Urban Reign(PS2)?

I've never played this, but apparently it's like a brawler version of Tekken. Here's a gameplay video (seems like it's near the end of the game though, so spoiler warning :v )

Are there any? And suggestions of any game like this are welcome too, but I'm really looking for something I can get on STEAM or PSN.
 
Nothing, nothing at all.

Urban Reign also has a fairly large, feature-packed campaign with a ton of unlockables, unbalanced but still somehow satisfying combat AI, destructive and free range environments, and the Tekken team's dependable sense of slightly off-kilter character design and jank.

Its very much a one-off. Blame me, I bought it used so many years ago. I didn't know what I was doing and there were so many great games at the time, I'm sorry for not supporting it better.

There's hardly any juggling in Yakuza though, and the heat/special moves are more like cutscenes separate from gameplay (though it looks like Yakuza 6 is changing that).

Just based on how UR looks, Yakuza seems considerably different.

It's the only one I can think of, sorry.

Maybe No More Heroes, God Hand?

God Hand sounds like it's really good, but it looks different from UR. It seems like it could be a like cousin to UR tho. The PS2-era 3D brawler family

Guess I need to break out the old PS2 😔

SpikeOut: Battle Street is kinda like Urban Reign. Basically like a Sega Arcade Hardware version.

And the Beat-em-up mode in Tekken...6, I think it is, is basically like a somewhat looser semi-successor.

The Dungeon Running Gameplay in Ehrgiez and Tobal No. 1 also slightly counts, as they're 3D adventures with Fighting game engine gameplay.

I might never wanna see a 3D Streets of Rage like this, but I do wish there was a definitive, iterative series that at least attempted to refine the 3D Brawler genre every once in a while. I guess MMO stuff like Vindictus kinda is similar, but...

God Hand is one of the best games ever made imo.

And Urban Reign is really fun as well, and different. I wouldn't put it in the same class as God Hand, but it is most definitely worth a play. I remember being surprised at how well it was put together when I played it all those years ago, and really getting immersed in the experience.

Man, the PS2 is still the champ.
