The critical and commercial successes of games like Grand Theft Auto and Mafia have proven that the public has an appetite for crime- and gangster-themed games. Whiptail Interactive is banking on that interest with its upcoming game Gangland, a strategy game that combines elements from both of these games as well some elements from Republic: The Revolution. We recently had the chance to take a first look at the game.
You start the game by choosing to play as one of four different immigrant brothers who arrive in a fictional city similar to '20s- and '30s-era Chicago. As you'd expect from a game of this type, Gangland's city is alive with activity. Pedestrians and civilians stroll around by the dozen, going about their business. Various shops and other establishments serve customers, while cars roll around the city streets, waiting for you to steal them. Paperboys on city corners yell out recent headlines and keep you informed of the latest news, while other citizens gossip about current events. If a gang war erupts in the street, nearby civilians run and scatter, and you'll soon hear about the incident from the paperboys. And, of course, the police play a significant role in the game, since bribery becomes a common theme as you work to keep them off your back.
