A strong idea let down by poor controls and lack of originality. The mini-games go some way to repairing the damage, though. [Sept 2006, p.92]

But after playing the actual title, there's no way that I'd want to subject friends to the bland missions, continually infuriating AI and gameplay issues and repetitive story structure.

In typical "Getaway" style, this swings from virtually unplayable to crime-filled fun. [Oct 2006, p.62]

Well, some kids call it clone... They know nothing. If you like Games like GTA you must try this one

Its a pretty decent game, you can play it when bored, the controls are ok, i like that you can choose multiple gangs with different weapons and vehicles, the minigames like tourist and freeroam are boring if you play for a long time but its a god game to play for a while when bored.

The length of the missions works well for a portable game, and having relatively short load times helps.

It hits all of its targets accurately enough, but none so dead-on as to be memorable. Mini-games add to the value, but still can't elevate this to anything like an essential purchase. [Issue 144, p.94]

SCEE London brings the whole Getaway British gangster feel to the handheld, with unfortunately the same dull plot and uneventful gameplay.

There's no shortage of things to do in Gangs of London--the trouble is that none of it is much fun.

It all boils down to one simple fact - it's just not fun.

A truly awful experience. Put simply, it's a portable piece of ugliness that lacks any humility or wit. It is singularly unpleasant in the way it handles its subject matter, and lacks the style or panache to carry its inadequacies with any dignity.

A poor quality GTA clone. SCEA decided to whip out a quicke sandbox game to make a quick buck before the Liberty City Stories came out. Trashy graphics, comically bad character animations unresponsive controls, pointless mini games and horrible plot. Not even worth tracking down for comedy value.
SummaryAction 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 ... Read More
