Very realistic driving and fun police chases, gameplay could have been much better.

User Rating: 7.5 | The Getaway PS2
By hsmyth | Review Date:
This game is very realistic is some ways, but not in others. The driving, smashing cars, being shot and police cars are very realistic. But other things like the way Mark runs, the camera angles and gameplay in general let the game down.

Its not an easy game to play, it does take time to get used to the controls and the way you have to do a mission can be challenging. One of the fun things is grabbing someone and using them as a hostage, then breaking their neck and hiding them, this is good interaction.

If the game just had a little more interaction, better camera angles and smoother gameplay, it would have been a huge hit.
