User Rating: 8.5 | The Getaway PS2
By harrylily | Review Date:
i was looking for something different, something good, something British? well this was a great find when i played this game it is so different form other sandbox game's, also feel's very realistic with no HUD.
You will also find that it has quite a realistic aiming system with NO lock on witch make's the game more difficult and i found it great.
Plus with the addition of many licenced car's that are damageable that is quite a rare feature so you can smash up your brand new TRV without any problems.
Now the most likely the best feature in the whole game, you get to play on both side's of a characters the main character Mark Hammond has his child kidnapped by a vicious gang seeking revenge as mark use to be on a rival gang, they have also shot his wife and is now trying to rescue his son and trying to get revenge at the same time. i will not talk about the second character due to i found it quite surprising who it was.
If you are sick of Grand theft auto and still want a good sandbox game this is the one you need!
