Title: Glad I Rented It
Product review: This game isn't as great as some reviewers would have you believe. It is NOT like the GTA games. The GTA games are free, loose and fun. The Getaway is stiff, humorless and frustrating. I appreciate the ability to drive through "the real streets of London", but you feel trapped in those streets. They're too narrow and congested and you have to obey all the traffic laws, otherwise you'll get a bunch of cops on your tail.When you're out of the car, the game gets even worse. The camera always seems to be looking the wrong way, which makes it difficult to deal with the bad guys that are shooting at you. There are no health or ammo meters---and I know that they were purposely omitted for "realism", but realism aside, it would be helpful to see your vitals.The Getaway is more like the Driver games---strictly mission based with no room for fun. I rented it, played it about twice and took it back. As the British would say: "Fookin' Rubbish!"
