Gangs Of London (PSP)

I had this game years ago before my PSP broke. I re-bought it after I got another PSP and it’s just as fantastic as I remember it. Good missions, funny and interesting storylines, great mini games and fun free roam.

After reading all the reviews that were sort of undecisive about how good the game was i still decided to get it. The game starts off well and you get to choose a gang, each having different attributes. But after the first five missions or so you can see the progress of the rest of the game, short and reptitive. It took about half an hour for me to wipe out one gang. There are 6 types of mission, defend, prtoect, assault, chase, lose the tail and kidknap. Defend and assault are literally all about how many people you can kill, just guns no cars, extremely boring after the first one. Chase, lose the tail and kidnap are all drving based, going round in a car doing what it says on the tin. Finally protect some times has a mixture of both. These missions come about time and time again just in different locations. The extras are pretty good but nothing to make you buy particulary for them, the free roam is quite poor as killing stuff is boring after the missions. The tourist mode is a laugh but again very short and repetitive. There are couple others but nothing special. Overall i finished the game in a day and a half and have near enough completed all the extras too. All in all i wouldnt say it is worth the money.

its okay I guess not the best game in the world and I found it hard not the worst game I have played

I have played The Getaway and enjoyed that. I also am enjoying this. Granted it's not GTA but it definitely has its own thing going on. Apart from the main game which is basically the Getaway again, what gives this a fourth star are all the mini-games. There's a decent pool, darts, skittles, and the Gang Wars game which provides a nice break from all the running around. Then there's all the free-roam modes, which again provide add variety. Being a Londoner I think helps, knowing the city and recognising places really adds to the fun. If I had a long train trip I'd definitely throw this in my bag as it offers a lot in one box.

GTA based in London Town? Yes, but so much more. A lot of mini games, even one going round London taking out the Zombies after the Zombie Holocaust has apparently happened. Pub games, including Darts and other such which I have only just started exploring. A lot of extra stuff has been included in this game so full credit to the game makers.

liked it a lot pure adult game

I find this game deeply offensive. In a time when London is over-run with these petty criminals who need to bolster their fragile egos with posturing they've learnt off MTV the last thing any of us need is more glorification of their lifestyles. This is a cynical, sad attempt to make money.

Its obvious that gangs Of London have tried to copy the Grand Theft Auto theme of dragging people out of cars etc but this game seems to have so many flaws. When I first bought it I found it very addictive but thats not the problem. The problem is that you get bored with it very quickly and rather persevere to complete the missions you would rather just store the game away and probably never play it again. I think that corners were cut financially by using cartoon-style stills with audio instead of movie cut-scenes and the game probably doesnt even use up 25% of the psp's capabilities. I think that Gangs is exclusive to the psp console which is better than people keep making poor and limited versions of ps2 games which dont cross over well onto the psp, but they need to be better than this.
