This game had me and lost me even quicker

User Rating: 3 | The Getaway PS2
By AdamSprague | Review Date:
From the opening car chase this game had me...then once I got out, it lost me.

This game has some of the worst control, camera angles, and therefore gameplay of a game I ever played. I had this game in my posession for literally about one hour and then it was offically gone.

The game has a great theme, great movie sequence, but the controls are horrific to the point where the game is unplayable. Simple tasks like say, running, aiming are next to impossible.

With that said the value of this game has to be a absolute ZERO since there is no replay value since you can't even get through the game a first time!

Don't buy this game, if you love the story and the movie sequences by all means, watch the movie. At least then you can eat or do something else while you watch so your time isn't a complete loss.
