PSP's Gangs Of London: London's 3D urban model on a mobile device

Another game, in the same Getaway / Grand Theft Auto genre, which features a photorealistic, geographically accurate (partial of course) model of UK's capital is Gangs Of London. However, unlike the Getaway series the novelty of Gangs Of London is the fact that it runs exclusively on a mobile device, Sony's PSP...

While I have to say the game itself is nothing to write home about (I had a go at it and it felt, gameplay-wise at least, like a poor GTA clone), it has to be said that the 3D urban model itself is a great example, if not the best, of what can be achieved regarding mobile 3D virtual cities, well worth a look if you are a PSP owner as the screengrabs above can testify!
