    Yea I know, I was a bit too harsh. It was like 4 in the morning and I was drunk. But yea dude for sure. I just think he just focused more on the negative parts of the game rather than the positive. I thought that this game was pretty awesome, Although it could of had more things to do after the game ended. That's OK though, because this game IS fun. But this reviewer IS a douche though.

    This game looks actually pretty good, dspite the glitches, lack of health bar and map.

    @ItsThaPenguin07: I don't agree with Greg either but you my friend, need to learn to accept somebody's opinion. Greg is only being honest and telling people what he thinks of it, and telling him to go kill himself is a horrible thing to say.

    I was just playin this at my gf house yesterday with her brother. Thought it was ok but the camera sucks. Was it just me or is there anyway to move the camera other than just walking around a corner? I found that quite stupid, especially on the sneaking missions.

    Wait... You guys are criticizing Greg Kasavin's review? It is not that you can't, just that all points he made are valid, he pointed all the pros and cons. What more do you want? That he lied and said " This is the greatest game I ever played in my life!"? If any cons of The Getaway do not bother you, by all means get it. It will probably the greatest game you ever played

    @ColdfireTrilogy
    CoD4 have a HUD. The Getaway have none whatsoever. No maps, no ammo count, not even an indication how bad your health is.

    this guy is a fckn idiot.. i thought the game was awesome.. i was playing it for months when it first came out.. the healing i thought was original.. this guy is ridiculous. they shooting was fun.. the story was friggin awesome.. same with the voice acting... i thought this game deserved at least a 7.5 .. this guy was too harsh on the little things and didnt spend enough time on the more important stuff. he's an idiot.. i hope he got fired.. sounds harsh.. but o well.
