Letting You know [Posted on 2006-06-16] After you beat all the missions, go to extras and you can do free roam mode where you can do whatever you want.
Innovative? Yes; Fun? NO!!! [Posted on 2006-08-10] The main thing I'd like to emphasize about this game, is how innovative it was. They actually laid down actual geographical miles of a European city; London; maybe you've heard of it.
London is one of the most complex cities in the world, and for a videogame Production Company to take the time to lay down actual geographical footage is phenomenal.
But the game "fun factor" leaves a lot to be desired. Controls are just okay to plain awful! This is one of the last games, that I can think of, that didn't take advantage of the right controller stick, to turn your 3rd person view character around to the point of view of the player. What results, is a poor shooting view, which is about 90% of the game. PROBLEM!
I give this game 2 stars, for playing, and 4 over all, for just plain over all innovation!
It's quite cheap now, on this website, so I would suggest a purchase over a rental. You will get some enjoyment out of it. The British accents are fun to listen to. And there's a mess of naughty words, so don't let your under 17 year old kids try this one.
Should be made into a movie!!! [Posted on 2007-05-26] I bought this game used and overall I've enjoyed it. People keep comparing this game to GTA, but this game is way better. The graphics are good and I love the fact that you really are in london unlike the GTA games which is just in a made up city. This game has a really good story line. It's not all about sex or drugs. It actually has a deep meaning to what is going on in the game. I hate the fact that the video cuts are long and you have to watch it for like 2 minutes before playing the game but when you actually do play a mission it is worth the wait. In the end the game is probably the best game I have ever played. I'm waiting for some hotshot director to make this into a movie cuz it really should be.
Getaway Action [Posted on 2007-07-29] I have three words for this game, action, action, action. A lot of weapons and quick shooting. Settings are a little dark in color and cussing is present. There is a lot of violence and even some torture. Not for the real young and sensitive.
Who dropped this ball? [Posted on 2008-05-06] Ok the graphics for the game are killer! no doubt about it top notch pretty cool. heres the bad..... no health meters, you cant punch anybody, (only pistol whip), your charcter is arrested way too easyily. The controls of this game really suck! and you cant adjust them to make them the way you want them.
i really cant belive they made a game look so cool have such great feautures then make playing the actual game suck!! there are movie sequences that you cant fast forward threw and they take litterly forever!!
i wish they had kept working on this game it had so much potential but it fell flat on it's face! This game take forever to play. it's extremly boring. lots of driving and stupid police chases that start for no reason.
Sorrry getaway but you no good :(
