The Getaway

THE GOOD:
Graphics, Storyline and the game's locatiion.

THE BAD:
There are barely any good cars and there are not many choices at all. There are very little amount of weapons and there are a few glitches and nips.

SUMMARY:

This game is very similar to the gameplay of the Grand Theft Auto games.
The game takes place in London. Your wife has been murdered and your son has been kidnapped and you have to do jobs for an old friend to get back your son.
Over 40 sq. km of London has been re-created in great graphic form and put inot the game. You can Jack any car from the streets. There are designed sets and 24 missions in this beautiful game. The game hold Digital Control and vibration function along with presure sensitivity and anolog control. There are 2 playable characters in the game, the starting character and a vigilante. The game is very difficult. You'll need to use stealth around corners to evade...

THE GOOD:
Realistic Scenery of London.
Good Story line from 2 peoples perspectives.
Movie Style.
Nothing like GTA.

THE BAD:
Too much violence which is just not needed for a video game.
Nothing to make you keep playing after you complete the game.
Its a very emotional story line in some places (wheres the humour).
Bad character handling.

SUMMARY:
Overall this Game is fair, I call it fair as I think there are many things which should of been sorted out with the gameplay before the release. Un-needed violence (not needed for a video game)E.G Torturing ect. And the lack of not really having much to do after you have finished the story line missions just makes the game boring and it ends up at the back of the shelf.

Graphics: 4.6/5

Gameplay: 3.6/5

Sound: 4.6/5

Story Line: 4.4/5

Overall: 4.0

THE GOOD:
- Engine has potential for future games
- Nice cinematics
- good, but hard to understand the dialogue

THE BAD:
- bad controls
- a few missions are really frustrating
- very linear
- violence is over the top

SUMMARY:
In my opinion the Getaway was a success. However it lack the bite GTA had. In my opinion there was potential in how Team Soho went about developing the Getaway. What i admired was them going ahead and not using a HUD or visual aides for the gamer. I think this was ahead of its time for games. I played so many games where the developers put aides to help you progress. In my opinion they get in the way and make the game easier than it should be. Take for example crazy taxi series. All i remember it most for is following the "idiot arrow" and not its strengths. However saying this..in my opinion the Getaway was just too fast paced for what...

THE GOOD:
Graphics, Story lines, realism, cars.

THE BAD:
The map, speed of vehicles.

SUMMARY:
The game has GREAT graphics, story lines, cars and realism. But is it too realistic? Well, it kinda is and kinda isn't. I mean, you can kill people by shooting them, KOing them, running them down or even breaking their necks! But, unlike in other games, it doesn't take much for you to die. It only takes about 3 gun shots before you're severly injured. But you can regain some of your health, just lean up against a wall and wait until he isn't leaning against it. The story lines are brilliant and get quite interesting. You're two characters, Mark Hammond and DC Carter. At the start, you play as Mark Hammond and your wife is murdered and your son is kidnapped. You then have to work for a crime lord to get your son back. Later on, you play as DC Carter. You have to kill the crime lord. The cars are pretty damn good. They look...

THE GOOD:
everything the cars the gta like thing the missions and hijacaking.................balah....

THE BAD:
non

SUMMARY:
good well you can go on cars if you jump on them and smash them........but can you send me a email about a getaway demo at high_voltage_41@hotmail.com


and so if you are chased by someone go by a sing post driving beside it then go infront of it and the car will crash!!!

and holding a hostage will either get them killed or they can only shoot you in the head so thats were they'l shoot you and you die.


killing cops lowers there population..........


send me the email and ill give you a walkthrough cheats that arent evn displayed on the internet and so much more k

the gettaway is so awsome not for anyone under 12 i recomend it so you should buy it for ps2 k bye email me!!

THE GOOD:
its a great game, if you want free roam then just search a site or just enter (triangle,triangle,triangle,left,square,triangle,triangle,triangle,left,circle)this will give you free roam.enter it at the beggining of the bame when the music is playing and you are about to play.

THE BAD:
i found in free roam mode its annoying cos your not sure where to go for fun, like buckingham palace, where is that when your in the middle of china town?well the good thing is that in the english version you get a map so its not a problem, unless your me and have borrowed it, so all you do is ask a friend, scan it, copy it then paste it on a web page for everyone to get.i will be doing this in about 10 mins time so if you want it then you will have to try some means of contacting me through this user review thing we are on

SUMMARY:
oh there are also loads of hidden cars n stuff.like tanks and tvr's, lotus, go karts, golf...

THE GOOD:
The good here is the gameplay. It'll take time for sure, but, given the time it's actually nice 'n' simple. Which is, 'good'.
At times, this can even out smoke GTA, because you want that realistic feel, not the comical phrases and crazy gameplay scenes.
The layout isn't all that bad, you know, no health bar, ammo bar, car damage. Nuffink. But, this looks and feels better at times.

THE BAD:
The stupid, silly, annoying swearing. But, it does give the game a more realistic feel.
The weapons are;
AK-47
Pistol
Shotgun
Police Baton
Crowbar
Baseball Bat.:- You do the math.

SUMMARY:
This is not GTA.
The gameplay is bad and good.
Weapons are limited. So are levels.
But they are hard.
Moves like grabbing someone from behind and halting the police in a hostage situation is great fun and eye candy.

THE GOOD:
Real cars, good story, real London, graphics, sound, quite alot.

THE BAD:
rare slowdown, tricky camera, slightly clumsy controls.

SUMMARY:
The Getaway is one of the more innovative games I have ever played.

Story- 10/10 Mark Hammond has just gotten out of the slam only to have his wife shot and die in his arms and his boy kidnapped. The only way to get his boy back to to perform a series of insane suicide missions for the local crime boss, Charlie Jolson. On the other side, Frank Carter is a renegade cop whose only concern is busting Charlie Jolson.

Gameplay- 8/10 Gameplay is a mixed bag. When it's good, it's really good. You play half the time as Mark Hammond and half the time as Frank Carter. You get thrown headlong into the action without a tutorial or anything. Until you learn your way around, you're at the mercy of the blinkers on your car, which are the only way...

This is the first game I have seen, with real car names, such as Audi and Lexus. This awesome game takes place in London. Its about a character, Mark Hammond. His wife was shot in the street, and his son was kidnapped. He then chases the people down and then is on his way to rescue his son. This game is rather long, and after you finish it, theres Free Ride mode, where you can drive around the humoungous city without doing missions. The main game, which you do first, is mission after mission. You can't take breaks. Theres a few weapons that will keep you satisfied, and alot of cars. The missions are also pretty creative.

Graphics: 5.0/5.0 Buy it, you'll see what I mean. They actaully made fingers on the characters, and games usually don't do that.

Sound: 5.0/5.0 The voice acting is superb, and the the sounds of the city are good.

Fun: 4.5/5.0 This game doesn't let you roam the city on your own until you finish it. And once you get free ride, it...

THE GOOD:
The graphics.

THE BAD:
The camera angles, gameplay, controls, health system, and manual aim.

SUMMARY:
Ok, lets do the good first. Well basically all that I thought was good in this game was the graphics. The graphics were absolutely amazing. If your car got shot at and a window was hit you could see it. There would be a bullet hole and the window would spider web (looks cracked all over but does not break). If you shoot someone then you actually see their blood on the wall behind them. All of these things added to the appeal of the graphics, but lets face it graphics arent everything.

Now to the bad, this may take a little longer. Ok I thought this game needed A LOT of improvement on a few things such as the camera angles, game play, and controls.

So lets look at the Camera Angles first. Well I you like to be walking around, trying to find your way then the camera jerks and totally...
