Yeah, its GTA wannabe, but its not half bad.

User Rating: 8.8 | The Getaway PS2
By cpgatas | Review Date:
The Getaway is a great London based Grand Theft Auto Game that does its best to recreate that GTA feeling over the Atlantic.

The story is gripping at first, and does drop down a little towards the end, but the story is meant to show its colors in its presentation. The language and dialect is on the spot, and in general you get a feel for how things are handled in England.

No, you are not mean to go out and shoot everything, but the missions give you a sense of direction and are pretty enjoyable. You don't have a health meter, but you'll know when you are pretty much dead. Enjoy the game for the story if anything else, and understand that London is big, so go ahead ... explore. Definitely better than Black Monday, the sequel.
