Gangs of London Gameplay Offers Gangsters A Day Off

Gangs of London

Yes, it will be bloody, and you’d have to be wily in order to survive in the PSP game Gangs of London. The game offers a challenging perspective in the life of gangsters, as they have to fight it out against each other for the prime spot in London‘s underground crime world. From petty thieving to big-time hits, the gangsters have to prove their worth with every battle that they face, pushing their toughness rating to the extreme.

However, what sets THIS gangster game from other titles of the same genre? Well, for one, it offers a reprieve from the gritty gang work that is the main focus of the story. Just like real life. Besides the fighting and the bashing, there are also lots of alternate game modes, as your gangster is able to take a break from being territorial and just chill out roaming free in the streets of London (when there’s no gang work to be done anyway). The Free-roaming mode features a whole lot of activities, from sight-seeing and picture-taking to speed challenges, and a “four weeks later” scenario against hordes of zombies. If you’re in the mood of just really taking off, the cabbie mode is there for you to just lose yourself in the heart of the city. Also incorporated is The Pub, a mini-game hub featuring simple arcade games, darts and multiple variations on pool. See, even gangsters need a day off.

Of course, the main drive of the story is that the gangs need to fight it out in order to wipe out the other through a string of scripted missions. Each of the five gangs in the game has a unique storyline, complete with voiced, comic book-style cinematic setups and outros. Having chosen your gang, you then have to work on the missions, picking up valuable experience along the way. Ofcourse, you can then use this experience to work your way up the gang-ladder, but as gang work is no one-man-show, coordination with the rest of the gang is also given highlight. At any time during a mission, you can also switch to any of your other members, who in turn are armed with a variety of weapons. On the other hand, you can just tell them to go ahead and take care of certain enemies and bask in the feeling of how it is to call the shots.

So gear up for the other side of London, as Gangs of London heads out at the end of September.
