Overall: 5
The getaway, a gta style game set in London. I like the idea myself, as I live in London I was hoping to see everything I know. I like it when I was young and now playing it, I wonder why I like this game. The game is okay, not bad it's playable but not has good as the GTA games.
Graphics: 4
For London it looks good I can tell what is what and all landmarks are noticeable. In Christmas 2002 my Dad go me a Ps2 and the when I first saw Getaway, one of my frist games on the ps2, I was mind shocked with the graphics it look good at the time. The game now looks ugly and is just wired now. The cars in the game look very real and are real cars like Ford Transits and London taxis.
Sound: 3
The sound is bad. The London accents are funny. If you ever herd a cockney accent then herd the Getaway one, you will laugh. The cars have about 3 sounds for all of them, A diesel sound for the buses, vans and trucks. A normal one for normal cars and sporty sounds for the fast cars.
Addictiveness: 1
I would never want to play this game twice if you live outside of England, the only reason is that very few games that are set in London and where you can free roam in the english capital. But when the game is beat there a free roam which is all you need.
Story 3
There is 2 stories. The first one is you play as Mark Hammond how has been framed about killing his wife and Marks boy is kidnapped by the games villain, Charlie Johnston. You must be his errand boy by killing people, freeing a women called Yasmin who turns to your side half way into the story. At the end of Mark's story you go onto a ship where there is a bomb and mark save his son.
Story 2 is from a copper or Pig as we English call them DCI Frank Carter and you are following and trying to arrest the Johnston's and failing until you get on the same ship has Mark. But you do get sacked has a copper
The 2 stories do meet up many times in each story or follow each other which was new at time.
You run into many gangs. The 14TK (Triads), Yardies (Afro-Caribbean). Plus a Jamaican drug lord called Jamahl who is dangerous, but you don't run into him in game.
Depth: 2
There one extra there's is a free roaming mode and that is all that there was on the game. But the game will take a while to beat and can be hard at times.
Difficulty: 3
The game is easy most of the time but if you die or lose on time missions your put right back to start which can be annoying. Healing is easy all you need to do is find a wall and move next to it and then your blood will, by magic be gone. The game is not that hard but can be annoying. The controls are stiff but playable.
Now The Getaway did really well in Europe but not as well in America. I like it has it was London, If you find it cheap which is easy I would say play it.
