Story:The Getaway is a sandbox crime game set in London. It is inspired by British gangland films Get Carter and Snatch. Initially, the release of the game was to coincide with the launch of the PlayStation 2 in 2000, but was delayed by 27 months due to the difficulty of re-creating large areas of London in high resolution. Parts of The Getaway feature in various episodes of Graham Duff's Ideal.Show more

If there is any chance that The Getaway can get a PC port on GOG, I'll ditch Steam. Its bad enough to own a copy of this and a well-functioning PS2, but emulating it as an alternative is virtually not possible without running into serious issues. Not to mention that Sony has the gall to not feature this game on the PS Store and ultimately do the London studio dirty. Tight controls, captivating story and one of the most technically and visually impressive games of the PS2 era. It basically has the serious, Noire tones of Get Carter with the action and violence of Snatch; but I feel that I'm oversimplifying it, as the campaign has a lot to offer in story and acting. The Getaway is one of the first games I played where I got to experience the idea that a game can feel like a movie but still be fun to play. It does a great job at making the game as immersive as possible, to the point that UI is not even needed if it did have any at all. I would love to play this game again.

Oi, bruv, this Grand Theft Car thing is lovely, mate! I got to be a mobster in the streets of London during the pinnacle of gaming (PS2)! I need to recover this jewel and get it to run on my PS2 again, but it would also help to play it on GOG.

My parents got me this game in 2011 as a gift for doing great in school. I bled this game dry along with Samurai Warriors and Black. Still think of it to this day.

Miami Vice
Miami ViceIn this spin-off from a popular TV cop show of the 1980s, Crockett and Tubbs are trying to smash a drugs ring bossed by Mr. J. You have to start at the bottom, initially busting the casual dealers before reaching their suppliers, and ultimately the casino-dwelling honchos. This is done through a combination of driving and shooting, through an overhead rendition of Miami. When crooks are stopped they will often provide valuable information, although sometimes they can only be stopped by shooting them.

The action takes the foursome through Hong Kong, Hell's Kitchen in New York City, the walled city of Xi'an, the lost tomb of the first emperor of China, and in the end, to the mountain island of the immortals, Penglai Shan.
