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.

Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

James Bond 007: Agent Under FireJames Bond 007: Agent Under Fire is the first James Bond game to appear on the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. The game casts the player as the legendary James Bond who must accomplish missions throughout different areas of the world. Bond is sent on a mission rescue Zoe Nightshade, a CIA agent in the hands of Nigel Bloch. Nigel Bloch is the CEO of Identicon, a section of a highly successful industry company known as Malprave industries. Bond is also tasked to retrieve the set of DNA samples that are in Identicon's hands. So James Bond sets off on another adventure... The game combines three game modes into one package: first-person-shooter, which is what most of the missions are, a rail-shooter, where the player only controls firing, and a driving game, where the player drives one of the many Bond cars. Numerous weapons have been added to the series, along with some fictional weapons like the Photon cannon and the 5-way grenade launcher. The player can utilize a wide array of gadgets and weapons, like the Q-Claw, Q-Decoder, and Bond's trusty Walther handgun. There is a large variety of missions, and Bond can go through most missions with weapons, or take a stealthy approach. The player is also rated in each level, based on score and difficulty level, and can unlock new features for both single and multiplayer.
