This game has all kinds of potential. It is based in London which would be a great location for an action based crime lord game. The problem with this game is that as cool as the locations around London might be, you only use a small portion of the map and you really have no free will. You are taken from one location to the next without any choices on your own. Considering how well other games of similar design give you way more options.
Overall, the story mode is rather fun. You do play the game halfway through with one character, then you change to a different one. I could have done without that because I was starting to like the character I was playing and didn’t want to change characters. After completing the game you unlock the ability to free roam around London but without having any side missions or anything really to do, it ends up being a rather boring unlock. I did enjoy playing the game despite its flaws, but in all honesty it is not a great game.
