Pish is way too harsh. The Getaway was ambitious. Minimilist, make me forget I'm playing a game. Consequences for driving like an arse around London. Proper realism. Too bad it was beaten to the punch and outshone by GTA 3.
@ScottishDuck17 I think I convinced myself I liked it at the time. Playing it now, it's still impressive how much of London they got in, but it's not much fun to play.
@BitSocket Same, I pretty much told myself it was good at the time, likewise with the second game, I was a little disappointed when I heard they cancelled the third in the series though
Haha! You're right about the Getaway! When I was in London a few years ago with some friends, they were struggling to find their way around. Myself and another guy managed to get us all around London with no hassle, all thanks to this game.

I actually remember liking this game 10 something years ago, the indicators drove me up the wall though :P

I've played a few hours of this, but not enough to learn my way around London. That must mean I'm alright or something.

@gw0001 The sad thing is, when it came out around the same time as Vice City, I actually stood up for The Getaway, saying it was just as good...
