Gangs of London - Gameplay

Gameplay

During the course of story mode, the player is given a wide variety of objectives. One objective may require entering a nightclub armed with a jackhammer, while another may involve trying to run the enemy off the road, or them trying to run you off the road. There are also kidnapping missions, stealth missions, and even race missions. Once story mode is complete, a cut scene will pop up and a cliffhanger ending ensues.

As well as the story mode, there are mini-games under the "Free-Roaming" heading, including "Free Drive" where the player explores London while watching for gangs, "London Tourist", where the player appears as an American tourist and has to take pictures of various London landmarks, "Cause Havoc" where the player, as a gang member, has to earn points by killing pedestrians and blowing up vehicles, "Speed Trap" where the player has to drive at a certain speed to prevent a bomb inside the vehicle from exploding, "Riot Control" where the player, as a London police officer, has to "neutralise", by killing or handcuffing, rioters on the street, "Get Away" where the player has to survive against the police pursuit for a certain time, "Four Weeks Later" where the player has to defend himself or his gang boss from zombies rising from the ground, and "The Knowledge", a taxi driving mission.

The game also has "bar" style mini-games, accessed from a pub. The four pub games are darts, skittles, pool, and an arcade game, which is similar to Snake.
