Sony Europe's street hoodlums come across pond for rumble on American PSPs; hybrid game set for release "later this year."
American gamers who looked on in envy as Sony Europe announced Gangs of London for the PSP last year thought they were in Barney (Barney...Barney Rubble...trouble!)--the company never announced that the game would make it stateside. Those Cockney rhyming slang lessons can continue, as SCEA today finally revealed that Gangs of London will be released in the US.
The game is a spin-off of The Getaway series, which was best-known for accurately re-creating Central London. Players with short-attention spans will appreciate the game's many modes, which includes a driving/action campaign, turn-based strategy and card-game hybrid gang battle, and the much more peaceful tourist mode.
