Summary: The Getaway was apparently a very highly anticipated game even back in the days before the launch of Sony's PS2 console. Yet somehow it has managed to slip through my own gaming radar almost completely undetected; I knew the name and the ... read more

Pros: The whole games a pro.
Cons: Some of the missions can be a little too tough.
Summary: When I first heard about this game, I thought it would be stupid, and be just another cheap Grand theft auto rip off, but I was wrong. One day while browsing in K-mart I was in the game section, and I was playing the demo's for the PS2. I saw "The ... read more

Pros: Good voice acting, 20+ hours of gameplay, quite smooth graphics, neat little touches.
Cons: Sloppy controls, very violent, far too much bad language, terrible driving sections.
Summary: To be one hundred per cent honest I dislike games like this and especially when they have no panache. At least GTA gave it some! The getaway is really a nothing game. Shame because it should have been a lot better.
The game has a ... read more

Excellent story
Cons: Health system hard to use
Fighting can be difficult
Summary: In was back in 1999 that Sony's Soho studios first showed the Getaway. Now it's 2003 and the game is finaly out? Was it worth it? For sure. It may not quite meet the expectations set on it but... they were two high anyways. In the game you play as two ... read more
