The Getaway

[DC Reed]

Alright, so i picks this game up last night while working. And after all the hype I'd been hearing from the PS2 promotions ppl that visit the store,i was psyched to play it.

Its no GTA: Vice City.

Its got the feel of a Guy Ritche film, except it's missing those comedic bits we all love, (no dog swallowing a squeky pig here). Graphically its pretty damn good, and its modeled after present day london, and its got real cars.

The gunfights are pretty fucking cool, like when you take someone hostage, and threaten to blow of thier head infront of innocent bystanders, then use him as a shield and shoot-up some ragamuffin Soho gangsters.

GTA is faster paced, but Getaway is more realistic, and if you love movies like Resevoir Dogs, Snatch, Lock Stock.... and such, youll enjoy it.

ill give it a 7.6 outta 10.

Sure, its not crazy, and the cars dont flip and its slower paced than GTA, but at least the storys great, and i love holding old women hostage.

If thats not a new status I don't know what is.

Anyway, I haven't played it yet, but I did want to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Graphically, it's one of the best games I've ever seen.

Gameplay-wise, I was bored after 45 minutes and I ended up selling it to my brother for $30.

The coolest thing is that the design of London is so accurate you can use a real London streetmap to get around the game.

It involves more thought than GTA, GTA you just blow shit up. Getaway you gotta use some strategy when fighting.

I mean you gotta get deeper into it than 45 mins though. Its a fun game after the first few missions.

I got this game on Friday, played half of the weekend and I think I'm already tired of it.

Too linear for me, you have to do EXACTLY what they tell you in the EXACT order or you are fucked. If you play this game twice, you play the same game again with little/no variation.

I wish they had the "Extra Features" (a.k.a. open mode, a la GTA) unlocked from the begining, so you don't have to waste time on completing the game before you can play in open mode.

My 2 cents.

Peace & Hugs,

Did you notice a lot of glitches? Some websites (gamespot) claim that there are some problems. I'm thinking about buying it.

ths is the thing i love about GTA, and the thing i despise about it. not the game itself, but what its done the the genre. NOT EVERY EVERY NEW FUCKING GAME CAN BE NON-LINEAR. i like the fact that the game makes you work for that option. its refreashing.

Alright, I rented and beat it in two days (school doesnt phase me). It is a relativly short game, the first couple missions are motonous but then after that it gets really good. The fabolous cut scenes are worth trying to get farther in the game.

Im surprised no one mentioned: THE FUCKING CUSSING!

Jesus Fucking Christ they said "fuck" every two fucking seconds. Its fucking unbeliveable! I have never seen a fucking video game like this use so much fucking bad langauge. The English accents are far from being fucking peice of shit, they are fucking wonderful. The fucking cussing adds some fucking realism, but Im wondering if they fucking used "fuck" to much for video game standards. Im very fucking surprised the fucking news hasnt jumped all over this fucking game yet. They did it with fucking GTA3 and fucking Vice City. Yet The fucking Getaway has strippers just with their fucking hands over their tits, Strippers fucking moaning while having sex, shit,nigger,gook,fuck,bastard,bitch,and dick thrown around all throughout the game, and still no fucking major contreversy. Of course since Im just a fucking kid this game is a field day for me!

Cozmo's final fucking rating: 8.2 out of fucking 10!
