The most powerful and organized gangs had a very specific hierarchy that culminated in the level boss. Against skilled contenders in the Muay Thai the problems were already beginning, not to mention the Capoeira that already in the time of Tekken was claiming victims - true, Eddie Gordo? Karate, Judo e Taekwondo they weren't even listed, but a bit of mess tin and a few tumbled to the ground were enough to take countermeasures. ![]() In some cases, we were dealing with thugs who didn't know how to go beyond the canonical punks, but after a few missions we understood that this city was really the realm of the blows.

In Urban Reign, Brad Hawk, and we along with him, were constantly challenged by the number of opponents on screen and having to adapt to ever-changing combat styles from one mission to another.

The events unfold around the internal struggles that take place between the various gangs in the city. The protagonist of the story is Brad Hawk, a professional thug who is hired by Shun Ying Lee, chieftain of a powerful organization that controls Chinatown.
