The Getaway is a violent action/adventure game where you first play as a ex-criminal, and then you play as a vigilante cop. The storyline goes that you (Mark Hammond) is out of jail and trying to get back on the straight-and-narrow, however, a ageing crime lord, Charlie Jolson, kills Mark's wife and kidnaps his son, so he has to do various missions to get him back. ONce you finish that part of the game, you then play as a cop who doesn't care for the law, and he goes of hunting for Charlie Jolson. The games graphics, in my mind, they are better than that of GTA 3 and GTA VC, and the car selection is great, where you can select from a Nissan Micra to a Lotus Esprit V8. The car steering and damage are more realistic as well. However, the game loses points on the lack of weapons, all that you can select is a Beretta's, AK-47's, Shotgun's, & Uzi's. Also the lack of missions can also be a concern, and once completeion of the game, the Free Roaming feature is no good if you want to engage in a high speed pursuit with the cops and gangs.
Overall, I would have to give it a 6.5 out of 10.
