Gangs of London

In Gangs of London, the player joins one of five crime gangs and attempts to take control of London. Rather than using a fully free-roaming campaign, the main story is presented through a menu of 70 short missions, each introduced by a comic-style story sequence.

Gameplay

Missions feature varied objectives, including escorting, infiltrating enemy positions, stealing cars, kidnapping, racing, defending locations against enemy attacks, and eliminating targets. On foot, the game plays as a third-person shooter, with occasional opportunities to command accompanying gang members. Driving is action-oriented and can be viewed from either first- or third-person perspectives, while stealth sections focus on observing patrols and attacking guards from behind.

Police respond when they witness crimes, although the game does not use a wanted system. Each gang has different abilities, such as the Triads' faster driving.
