This game is fucking awesome.

It's a mob sort of game based heavily on films like Get Carter ( not the shitty Sly remake ), Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and other great British gangster films. It takes place in the actual rendering of 40 square miles on London.

This game is innovative in it's ideas to make it less like a game and more like a playable movie. There are no maps or on-screen indicators. If you get shot you bleed and limp. Even when you have to drive somewhere you'll see no arrows. The directions are indicated using the vehicle's turn signals. All these ideas plus a superb graphics engine piece one of the best games I've played all year ( yes, better than Vice City ).

I'm greatly looking forward to it ( supposedly January 21st ) and if you want to check it out, get the new issue of Offical Playstation Magazine and play the demo.
