  • This game was complete shit, I remember being so disappointed when I bought it after the hype

  • You CAN skip the cut scenes. Just press in both of the analog sticks at the same time and it should skip the scene. Great game btw, I like the gritty cockney feel, resembles films like get carter pretty well, good story too. And its much better than Black Monday in my opinion. It also sucks that The Getaway 3 got cancelled, I was looking forward too it. Damn.

  • wtf is he talking about, this game has a free roam mode. dumb ass play the game before you do a review

  • @lenna122 He has. He's the most fair and knowledgible of all reviewers and The Getaway's free roam is less involved than the first 2 GTA's. It's a beautiful game with a great story but it's got alot of problems.

  • I LOVE THIS GAME childhood memory 

  • Wow, a lot of things are superficial to this guy. What a douche.

  • I remember this game being so cockney it was almost offensive, like Eastenders really.

  • I don't care what this guys says, I just love this game!

  • I can understand the whole resting against the wall to recover health thing. It's like the Adrenaline syringes and bullet removal procedures in Farcry 2. It's not realistic but immersive.

  • its retarded

  • What an idiot. Its a game not suppose to ve 100% realistic. Ya cause in gta its ao realistic to eat a pizza and gain your health back. And what a pathetic excuse for a job. This giy obviously lives with his mom at 40 something years old and plays video games all day.

  • really regaining health is silly right, so youre supose to just die?

  • Probably my favourite game on the ps2 i have actually just started playing it again.

    Also these reviews are normally just one persons view and they are neither wrong nor right in thier interpretation of a game. I tend to look at reviews then try it out anyway and most of the time im pleasently surprised

  • This game looks exactly like gangs of london.. I wonder if it's just as shitty as gangs of london too.

  • @LoveMurderinSnitches

    gangs of london is a spin-off getaway title. but no, getaway's better.

  • only game that u can use ur blinkers

  • I actually enjoyed this game a lot.

    It had it's flaws, but overall it was a really entertaining game which got a bad rap from the reviewers.

  • i love the story of the getaway and the gameplay i was like 9 but it was badass this guy is just an asshole to good storylines

  • i hate this douchebag. the getaway was fucking great! this guy is a dumbass he doesnt even know how to review a game right! what a fuck-tart

  • one of my fav games every i wish they would finish the 3rd one :D

  • some people hate it and some people love it. i dont know whether to get it but i enjoyed gangs of london on the psp if thats a close comparison.,

  • Wow, we have come a long way. I never realized how horrible the graphics were, I was actually impressed at the time

  • @rashad123us lol I thought the same thing. The Getaway looked absolutely amazing at the time. Probably the best looking game on consoles when it was released. But now it just looks terrible. Still the game had some really neat and immersive features. Just felt clunky most of the time. That was its biggest issue in my view.

  • it was pretty sweet, take it for what it is.

  • i liked this game story was really good and gritty but they made a lot of sacrifices that made it too realistic. but i still play it when i want to play in london setting

  • i nevr relized that this was in london.... im not retarded... i was 8 when i played it and it was at a friends house and i was having too much fun killing people!

  • GTA4 = The Getaway 2...Namely - shit and boring.

  • This game sux

  • lol you can skip the cut scenes by clicking the analog sticks at the same time.

  • "...it recreates the entirety of London" No It fucking doesn't, only the city centre, herp de fucking derp.

  • this review is superficial...

  • ha, he says that the animations a well done. it just so happens that soho games is now team bondi which is responsible for character models in la noire

  • @HalflifeDream

    I don't understand why everyone hated on this game. I loved it. It has one of the best stories I've ever seen in a game, and it has damn good graphics for a PS2.

  • 0:38

    AAAAHHHH!!!!

    Sorry, I had to.

  • this game is the dogs bollox ,, don't listend to this dick stink

  • @MrElm23 It's what?

  • Controls ruined this game for me, guess im just used to gta and max Payne lol.

  • this game was hella boring

  • the storys great so stfu u faggot ass punk aha

  • This game reminded me of max payne but nowhere near as good. It could've been so much better.

  • LOL he's like ..."Naughty Stuff"

    lol how can you take this guy seriously

  • 'The Getaway 3' PS3, end of 2011.

  • @HalflifeDream

    Damn right mate, this game was really impressive for it's time. Even to this day the graphics and gameplay look really good.

  • He didn't mention that after the story with mark you can be a cop to.

  • Just the fact that this game looks like a movie makes me eager to se the movie (thats unfortunaly) does´t exist=(

    I loved The Getaway when it came out and played it for months, this game need to be recreated to fit PS3 or create a Movie based on the game, when this game comes out on PS3 or as a movie i will buy the Ps3.

  • SUISE!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • I seriously thought he said 'Nigger attempts' at 2:23

  • With today's technology, I think that the producers should remake this game, this time around they can put what they really intended to display the Getaway PS2, I'd love to play in London, it would be so much better to play in London than it was in to play in NY on GTA4. We should make a petition to have this game remade for the PS3, 360, and PC.

  • if your english you'll recognise that the "bad" woman is bianca on eastenders

  • Will the getaway be on ps3

  • you my good man, are a dick.

  • Nag this game is shit you all just like it cuz it's in london

  • This is one of My Favorite games! On My top ten The Getaway is no. 1!

    That's right. It's my favorite game! You know once you beat the levels played as Mark you get to Play as Frank Carter the undercover cop of the Flying squad. They are Arresting Levels!

  • Does this guy have something against British people the game is great for its time it was a advancement in graphics the story is great the shootings fun and its good to have the game set in england its a change to places like new york and la so the guy who reviewed this is a asshole!

  • Comment removed

  • lol..there's a free roam to do whatever. Either way I still think the gfx in this game hold up to today...well ot so much but still some of the best on ps2 imo

  • It's a shame that reviewers of this game genre rely solely on GTA for a review, instead of the game itself.

    "The shooting usually takes place much like Grand Theft Auto or Max Payne, blah blah blah, only there's a auto-aim feauture that takes pretty much all the challenge out of the shooting."

    Note to reviewer: If you're going to compare a game to GTA don't slate it for features that even GTA uses.

    rant over.

  • god I hate that all the time people compare GTA to EVERYTHING

  • At the start his wife gets shot but the player has a chance to save the kid but goes to his wife instead, thats stupid in for a terrible game like this

  • This guy doesn't know anything!!! He's a fool! I'm sure most people who like The Getaway series such as myself, like it for its uniqueness. If I wanted something more like GTA (which is what he's essentially describing) , I would buy GTA!! Don't buy English games if you don't like English games, its just a waste of product on people like him!

  • I did not like this game. The controls sucked, the driving felt slow, no health bar, it jumped you into a chase scene without telling you anything, and the story sucked.

  • i love the getaway and the getaway black monday and i'm american. i don't see why u guys are even arguing. The getaways and gta are both great games.

  • Comment removed

  • So what if car blinkers get you to your destination. Hey at least with the blinkers we can to our destination easy.

  • This review guy is such a fag. What's the problem with blinkers telling you where to go? As long as they get you to where you have to go, no need to worry about using a map. Also, so what if you're leaning against a wall healing yourself.

  • This game sucked fucking bull.. i wasted my money on this piece of bitch-made crap.. what the fuck were they thinking about..?? making a game into a movie?? wtf thats gay.. storyline is fucking boring and you cant even skip cutscenes or have a fucking indicator map.. wow.. even game like grand theft auto advance for the gameboy was better then this soggy piece of shit.. im gonna return this thing

  • @icelynx360 = troll

    Press R3. It's l33t h4x in cutscenes! (I read the manual.)

  • @BJtheBassist i tryed free roam too its gay!! one shot with a gun your dead.. honestly WHAT THE FUCK!!?? no life bar either its crap i got GTA vice city 10x better then this

  • Probably a better movie but this game is enjoyable considering the edge of your seat drama.

  • Why is everything ganster filled and British compared to Lock Stock & Snatch? The speccy virgin just compared them and you can't do that. The games Drama based and the filmes are comedies.

    Some shoot the speccy cunt.

  • when is the getaway 3 coming out

  • i think they cancelled it, but i think they changed it to being on hold recently.

  • Either way it's a classic. At least here in the UK

  • im a sad speckie american WWE watching virgin with nothing better to do than review crappy games ha ha ha just kidding

  • cant we all just get along? i mean its a video game for heavens sake

  • This game is terrible. You can't move smoothly because of the angle, your free aim has an invert-look wich can't be changed, you have to press X like a maniac to move, pretty boring missions and a boring town.

  • hey all british fucks stop calling us yanks you also got owned by us in 1775-1780 so stop fucken sucking dick!

  • If it wernt for us you would be speaking french right now you son of a bitch. You watch your tongue yank before i confuse you with canadian.

  • well limie son of donut fucker and it would be kinda nice ot speak french but i like english better and canaidians are nice i had one for my 3rd grade teacher so shut up go eat some crumpets or go drink your shitty ass tea!!!

  • u saddo u really think that we give a fuk wot happened bak then its 2009 ya fukkin yank

  • @spartan56748 care for some tea and crumpets cus im a britshish fag. did you like me inpresion you fucken twat muther fucker or shall we drive on the left side of the rode in our right steering weel car or shall we lose our hankys?stupid limei

  • @jdpegg lmfaooo thats the best u got coz tbh that was a really shit comeback

  • @jdpegg lol fuck of ya yank. Or maybe you can eat some more McDonalds?

  • why do they always get bloody yanks to review british based games?

  • indecaters not blinkers

  • It's funny this game got ripped on for regenerating health and now almost every shooter has regenerating health.

    RIP Games Journalism 1996-2004

  • jeez all he does is whine bitch a moan. I thought it was a gem for the PS2 back then best graphics for the time and all around fun free mode. Loved the story.

  • i liked the game...especially since it had a rover car in it which my dad actually owned in real life at that time... :)

  • This guy sounds like Tom Green.

  • good game i had this for ps2

  • To me honestly the game is okay... Its not great like Vice City but it doesnt have to be. Its kinda a GTA rip off but its just... I cant feel it since i've been a GTA3, GTVC freak. I mean i would buy it again since I lost it. The problem is though that its very limited. Cant buy properties, its level based, free roaming sucks, and its just... its okay. Its fun for a while but cant spend hours on it like GTA.

  • That isn't a perfect depiction of london! Wheres the chavs?

  • this game is sooo much fun and there is a free roam, you just have to beat the game. no matter what this asshole said, you guys should definately try out the getaway because its great

  • I agree, it's a great game.

    However free roam is really boring. You can just hang around and shoot people, nothing else.

  • Eating.....turkey legs? wtf

  • this is a great game and I love the hold mood and enviroment of it. It's not better than gta but it's not trying to be. I love the self healing feature.

  • fuck you bold ass bitch this on of the best games ive played, u need to get fired sucka

  • he quit

  • lol fuck this bald guy this game is a legend hes copy must off been dodgy lol

  • fuck this guy. this game was really goog

  • OMG this guy is fukking painful to watch, hes so biased its not even laugable, the getaway even to this day is still a modern classic and the only 3D take on london that you can actually play. the graphics still hold the test of time as well and the lead character Mark Hammond is legendary, story, graphics, storyline and especially the music in this game are flawless in my eyes, this dude just needs to go shoot himself or get layed one.

  • I think all those things he criticized are very creative and original....

  • Great game, terrible review.

  • this is the worst review i've ever heard! this is one of the best ps2 games evermade. the graphics are great, the sound is great, the music is great, the controls are easy to use, it has one of the best stories, and its fun to play. i don't care if it has glitchs and stupid shit like that, this is a great game that everyone shouls try. :)

  • i made a lot of spelling errors

  • I totaly agree with you 100%. I really l like this game and Im not used to this ganre. Everyone should try it out.

  • This guy is such a tosser! He needs to make his mind up and put some emotion into his voice!

  • this game is so much fun

  • this is the umster hoo did the review on mafia. wanker!!!!!!!!!!

  • this guy is a wanker, first he says how the game is too realistic to be playable , and then he says that its not realistic enough. he must hate British people

  • i think he's a wanker too, what ever that means

  • And like really? If you wanna get away from the police while on a mission do so. You don't have to use the direction given to you by the indicators. This guy's a dick lol

  • great game

  • Agree. its more mature than GTA, the storyline is far better than any GTA , it is more realistic in everyway (thats maybe good or bad). tho the GTA fanbase is of course alot bigger thats why it gets low rated.

  • awesome game

  • It's preaty much a 3D remake of GTA London

  • half the things this guy said were stupid..

    like when he said to recover health you dont eat food like other games but you stand against a wall which is really dumb(according to him) but eating food wont heal you from bullet wounds so hes not thinking to well.

    i hate gamespot reviews, they have their mind set to like or not like the game in the beginning...

    if they like it they say nothing but good things, if they hate they say nothing but bad things...

  • i loved the story line alot

  • i loled at the 3rd reason

  • in england you drive on thw wrong side

  • i know

  • No we drive on the right side u drive on the wrong side

  • no we dont

  • we had roads before you americans, so you drive on the wrong side...

  • im english

  • fuk u ya stupid yankee cunt

  • wrong side of the road??

    jus because its not the same as your country dont mean its the "WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD"

  • ur mum you fukin neek u americans dont knw shit ur all obese cunts fuk off bk 2 mc donalds and super size another burger u fat cunt

  • Calm down this game wasn't really that good, it was quite limited really.

  • hey u fucking dick i bet ure british usa if the best in the world u got dat i love american i my heart and soul is for dat countrywere not all of usa is fat u heard of southern california beverly hills everyone is skinny and size 0 unlike shitty british

  • Go brush your teeth you fucking chav.

  • i do agree with a lot of things he said, but this games storylines for both mark hammond and frank carter are half the reason why its such a great game

  • errrr you thinking of Black Monday?

  • Oh no he didn't!

    He BASHED THE STORY!

    the story is amazing!

    F*** this guy.

    THE GETAWAY IS AMAZING!

  • wtf ?? what is he talking about ?? its a great game! It realy feels like ur driving in london, and car chases arent annoying... they are much better then in gta3... there are a lot of glitches, but i realy like this game... when u complete the game u get a free roam feature so you actuyally CAN just drive around the city... i totally dont agree with this... this isnt an awsome game but its very very good

  • COOL

  • COOL

  • lol. the reason i was gonna get this at GAME was because they are doing this 4 games for ten bucks deal and i think its excellent. i'm planning on getting Grand Theft Auto 3 (to replace my old, scratched, non-working anymore disc)and maybe the getaway, also maybe getaway black monday. (i just want to try them out!) i'll try and find saints row if i can, but i doubt it will be in 4 for 10 deal :( thanks for the info anyways :)

  • i was thinking of buying this game sometime. its only 4 bucks at GAME and i was wondering, is it worth it? im a big fan of the grand theft auto series and i think this game looks quite good. should i buy it?

  • I will tell you now, from experience that this game is not that bad. It is however, a horrible GTA gimmick. Siants Row would be something I would rather suggest. Much better gimmick but if you would still like to try this game I would suggest you to get some pillows to scream into when you want to scream. ;)
