    Got a great deal on this game - 20 bucks. I agree about these low scores. What gives? I own over 20 PSP games anmd have rented about 30 more so I know the games on this system. This game is really quite good. There is so much to do and the mini games are very well done. This is why I like reader/gamer reviews rather than critic reviews. They tend to be more honest without some hidden agenda. Overall, a worthy Getaway game and fun all around.… Expand

    I honestly don't understand the low scores. Love this game, I've been playing for a while and keep going back to it. There's so many fun things to do, love the pub games and the arcade, the gang battle and driving around real london on the PSP is ace, also like the Max Payne style stories.

    I like this game myself, I like the GTA series on PS2, and on PSP. So if you like that sort of style game then i cant see any reason why you wouldn't like this. The cut scenes are a great cartoony style with ya cockney acents, You get to drive around London but with out the worry of speed cameras and bus lane restrictions. The graphixs are smart, so is the playing. You can send your gang into fighting situations for you, or hold them back and go in for the whack yourself. Dont expect anything ground breakingly new, and if like me you have spent a bit of time in london your like it. Maybe its just the english in me liking to see some in the games I play for a change. And also ripin it around London with out the fear of the law, well only in the game anyway but then you can shoot them, not a good idea in real life mind you.… Expand

    This could be in fact the worst game I have ever played. Pointless mini-games. Fights you can't win. You think this game has cut scenes? Think again. Pictures with words is what they are. If you want to experience pain, you're better off slamming your hand in a car door than buying this game

    I give this a 2 because in the beginning you get to choose a gang...then you realize each one is exactly the same and it doesnt matter because the ai is better than you. I've been playing games since Atari and Super Nintendo and have never seen worse fighting sequences. Button mashing is out of the question because after the enemy hits you once, you simply have no chance of hitting back. You're knocked down over...and over...and over. I thought i got a good deal on a game considering I bought it for $8.99. As it turns out the store ripped me off. There are plenty of better games for the psp then wasting your money and time on this game. What else can we expect from London though?… Expand

    Why all the low scores? I mean the missions can get a bit repitive every now and than but c`mon! This game is awsome! I love the arcade and the pub games (pool is my favorite) this game deserves a spot on every PSP gamers collection and is better than Vice City Storys IMO.

    I never bought & a returned anything within 1 day... that is until The Gangs of London. The controls felt stiff, driving the cars was damn near impossible & I got the feeling I was watching an OLD cartoon (you know, the ones where the background is the same over & over again) Yikes! Save your money.

    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]
