The game focuses on gang warfare set in a fictionalized version of London, where players control various characters involved in criminal conflicts. It features a mix of on-foot combat, driving sequences, and mission-based objectives across different boroughs of the city.
The gameplay combines shooting, stealth, and driving mechanics. Players undertake missions such as eliminating rival gang members, protecting allies, or engaging in turf wars.
