Have a "Butcher

There is a lot of tension leading up the review of this game. Is it worth the wait? Mumble. What? Mmmph.

You see...the Getaway the "Vice city beater" has a lot of problems up its sleeve.

It is very strange to see London in a video game. I, however, haven't been outside since the Ice age, and dont squeal when I pass a familiar street. There's a game to be played, a child to be saved (the point of the game).

In my first mission, I drove down the sidewalk in a (nice looking) car. The buildings look a bit like cardboard, but it played pretty well. Then I got out of the car and it all crumbled to dust. Mark Hammond handles like many Englishmen... drunk.

It's almost impossible to walk in a straight line. The gunfights are clumsy.

The cut-scenes are good, but swearing doesn't make this game cool. The game lasts long, but never truly grips.

Buy it if you will, but remember-the immortal warned you...

Graphics 83% Great cars, nice city, slightly iffy houses

Sound: 63% Swearing gets boring.

Gameplay: 56% The world's first drunk simulator.

Lifespan 67% Goes on and on, but where's the mini-games?

Overall: 70% Realism has (almost) been aciheved, but at the expense of fun...
