| Sony releases Gangs of London Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced the release of Gangs of London on PlayStation Portable later this year. This title takes the setting and criminal themes of the Getaway franchise and offers gamers a handheld gang warfare experience. Action meets strategy as you take on London's fiercest gangs in a bid for domination of the capital. With the opportunity to play as one of five gangs, you have to use brains and brawn to overcome the rival criminal factions and gain control of the city's underworld. Become the guv'nor of the Cockney, Triad, Yardie, Russian or Pakistani gangs and take on the capital over a number of challenging game modes: Choose the gang you want to lead, be prepared to fight dirty and use your head to stay one step ahead of the competition. Each mission is separated with stunning graphic-novel style narratives that guide you through the background story of criminal masterminds fighting for the right to be called Mr Big - London's number one gangster. Each mission lets you control a whole team of gangsters in tactical urban combat. With the ability to 'hot-swap' between differently armed characters in real-time and issue commands to other gang members, you must race and drive your way to the top over more than 60 action-packed missions. Gamers can re-play the missions from different gang perspectives, allowing for a number of different of routes through the game. Using a combination of skill, nerve and chance, gamers can take on up to four other gamers on a single PSP - or compete against the PSP controlled AI. Combining some of the best elements of both board games and poker, Gang Battle provides you with an interactive map on which you must commit your criminal forces to attack and defend patches of London turf, with bonus cards used to strengthen your grip on the city. As all moves are made blind ? players' hitherto secret actions unfold simultaneously at the end of each turn ? there is huge scope for multiplayer bluffing, gamesmanship and treachery as you scheme your way to becoming Mr Big. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
