This game deserves a look at, even if just to admire the scope to which Lindon was recreated and the movie-like feel.

The level of detail is extraordinary... but the slickest graphic presentation can't cover for Getaway's flawed script... In a game infused with more humor and less pretentious aspirations, these flaws would be more forgivable. [24 Jan 2003, p.106]

It's definitely the closest video games have ever come to capturing the essence of a kick-ass action flick. [Feb 2003, p.92]

Trama stupenda non ce da dire nulla. Ma mannagia a loro che gamplay di merda. Iniziamo con la guida, con per forza deve essere questa cosa che deve essere come un film non avere un fotutto gps che ti indica la strada giusta,nooo mettiamo le freccia nella macchina che all 90% sbagliano sempre, non spieghiamo nessun comando,non diciamo hai giocatori che per curare la salute BISOGNA METTERSI VICINO ALL MURO, MA CHE RAZZA DI GIOCO E CHE DEVI CURATI VICINO ALL MURO!!!. Capisco che non vuoi darci l'indicatore di salute, e si capisce benissimo quando stiamo morendo visto il nostro **** inizia a zoppicare ok.. poi parliamo quando fai le missione in due? Che mentre spari puo anche prendere il tuo compagno? E se lo colpisce ti spara pure?! . Come vi siete persi , da una trama da film spettacolare,alla cosa piu importate il gamplay...

"The Getaway" is the very first Sony PlayStation action game that was an attempt to emulate cinema. It paid tribute to the gangster films of director Guy Ritchie. At the time of release, this was compared to the king of open-world crime titles "Grand Theft Auto III". But "Getaway" is really a linear third-person shooter with sections that require you to drive to locations. The game lacks a map and a GPS system. Instead, you see the blinkers turn on when you must turn. Also, there are no health packs. When you're injured, you must rest to recover health. Overall, the story is terrific and the performances are great. But the gameplay can be a little clunky. Still, this is a gritty action game worth playing for fans of GTA and "Max Payne". I'd rate it with a 7.6 out of 10.

In between some breakneck driving and intense gunplay, you get plenty of tough guy angst, wicked doublecrosses, and excruciatingly brutal thuggery.

The Getaway is a pretty decent game with a few bad design decisions but some cool driving and action.

Greatest PS2 game ever made. Was revolutionary at the time doing away with the map and the graphics at the time were excellent. The story and production was a bit Essex gangster b-movie but that'sthe charm. One that desperately needs a remake!

Best game I've ever played. Bit jolty but nothing I've played has touched it since .

As good as the Getaway is, it needs more powerful hardware to really deliver the kind of punch the game has the potential to administer.

Absolutely runs away with the title of most visually and technically impressive game for the PlayStation 2... Unfortunately, the developers shot themselves in the foot with the actual game.
70
The biggest hindrance in The Getaway involves its user interface - or lack thereof - as the development team attempted to make the game look and play out like a movie.
60
As a game it's nowhere near as good as Rockstar's GTA franchise, but its excellent storytelling and slick production values make it an experience worth having.

When this game came out magazines and reviewers were saying, the next GTA, amazing game, 10/10. Then I played it and it was all style and no gameplay.. you were constantly fighting with everything you had to controll making the biggest challenge in the game, getting from A to B...Back then the controls were bad , but now they are just laughable. reviewers liked the fact the game was mature and it made them seem less like toy testers, but make no mistake, fun is a long was from what on the menu in this game.
SummaryIt's morning in Covent Garden. A woman is shot dead in the street. In the distance, a child screams as a car disappears with a screech of tires. It is a crime that will spark a series of intense events in London and the most notorious gangs are implicated. Mark Hammond is about to be dragged into a life he vowed he'd left forever. DC Fra...
