Gangs of London roaming American PSP shores

Nino Marchetti • Oct 3, 2006 • Comments ()

"Gangs of London offers a variety of modes of play including Story Mode, Gang Battle, Free Roaming, London Pub Games and a unique Game Sharing mode. In Story Mode, players choose the gang they want to lead and use strategy and skill to stay one step ahead of the competition. Each mission is separated with graphic novel stylized narratives that guide players through the background story of criminal masterminds fighting for the right to be called London's number one gangster. Gamers can re-play the game from different gang perspectives, allowing for a different take on this ruthless takeover of London.

Combining some of the best elements of turn-based strategy and card games, Gang Battle mode provides players with an interactive map on which they must use criminal force to attack and defend territories of London. Using a combination of skill, nerve and chance, gamers can take on up to four other gamers on a single PSP system, or compete against up to four AI controlled players.

Seven Free Roaming modes in total are available in Gangs of London to keep gamers busy outside of the Story Mode. Free Drive mode allows players to explore and tackle 25 square miles of London replicated for the PSP system. Choose between a variety of characters, vehicles, weapons, time of day, and police levels to create the experience you desire. Additionally, gamers may unlock the London Tourist mode, where they will be tasked with exploring and photographing the city's most famous landmarks to unlock game extras. Other Free Roaming modes to unlock include Speed Trap, Riot Control, Getaway, Four Weeks Later and The Knowledge. If it's pickup and play gaming that players are looking for, Gangs of London also offers a set of British Pub mini-games that include darts, pool and skittles.

Gangs of London also supports a completely original Game Share mode that will generate a new level unique to each PSP, with the content dependent on the serial number of the target system. Once activated, players will find themselves faced with uniquely different mission objectives, environments, characters and weaponry."
