The new game ,from Team Soho and Sony, looks to be a great rival of GTA3. There are no "please wait: Loading" screens wen you walk into buildings or from completing a level to the mid-level cut-scene. Also there are no health bars or arrows to follow, you just have to look at how your character is walking to see how hurt he is and your car will indicate for when you should take a corner.
You play a character called mark Hammond who (in the first cut-scene) sees his wife murdered and son kidnapped. A lot of swear words and a car chase through your whole scenery, london, later(which you control) you are flowing through missions to find and get your kid back. You can also take a hostage and just cause havoc but the traffic may get you whilst being chased by the metropolitan police; it depends on the time of day.
The Team Soho production staff have been around london and have done their research because people who live in the city will recognize the backstreets asell as oxford street shops, like Marks & Spencer or HMV.
Because of the no load free flow gameplay, it comes out as an interactive movie and looks great aswell.
I can't wait to get it and i think it could also knock medal of honour Frontline off the topspot.
It comes out around Christmas.

P.S. all the cars you could want in london.

cheers :D

The storyline is:
you play Mark Hammond, He sees his wife murdered and son kidnapped, your fist mission is to chase the mobster that did it, then after that your doing missions to find the people that have your son. Also, there are no ammo pick ups, your default pistols are ultimate bullits and wen you walk up to an enemy gun lyien on the floor, you pick it up. when it's all used up you chck it.

everything is motion captured in the game, and they have addedthe lttle things, like: if your on the outskirts only rubbish cars, but when you enter the centre you get tvrs, jags and rolls royce's.

Does any1 know if there are limo's you can nick whilst ppl are still in the bak?
