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 must use strategy
and skill to stay one step ahead of the competition. Each mission is separated
with 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 missions from different gang perspectives, allowing for a
variety of routes throughout the game.
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 patches 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.
Free Roaming mode allows players to explore and tackle the streets of
London on their own terms as they choose between a variety of characters,
vehicles, weapons, time of day, and police levels. Additionally, gamers may
activate Tourist Mode, where they will be tasked with exploring and
photographing the city's most famous landmarks to unlock game extras. If it's
pickup and play gaming that players are looking for, Gangs of London also
offers a set of British Pub minigames 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.
