This thread has been linked to the game 'The Getaway'.
I am getting really really annoyed with 'The Getaway' and have recently considered selling it. The reason is, well, it's just too damn realistic.
I didn't expect it to have big rocket lauchers and guns like that and I'm not bothered with that. I am just saying that it is too realistic, it is meant to be a game. It is very annoying when you don't know how much health you have and unless you are a highly trained doctor you don't know if you are going to die running into the cafe shooting everyone or if you will you survive. Another thing that really annoys me is when you try and steal a car and you get ran over and you die. That is no fun. In Grand Theft Auto games, getting ran over by a car does about 30 damage to you and that is only about a third of your life. When you get hurt, you walk with a limp. Some people will love the realism but I hate running away (or walking rather) when you have a limp. You almost always die. Another thing that I don't understand is the way to regain health. If it is so realistic then my don't you put on bandages or something. Leaning against a wall doesn't make you recover in real life. I really do hope that The Getaway 2 focuses on the fun side rather than the realistic side.

i also think that the getaway has to work hard to get the "X" factor gta games have. the cars on the getaway are slower accelarating and although more realistic you can't feel the force when you put your toe on the gas.
the aiming in gta is much easyier to use, and i prefer it, although i think the storyline of the getaway is shabby anyway. it's a mix bettween running after a little girl and beating up his mates...
gta's plot is broader with lots of little "storys" and i think the getaway's complete in one character get the other is dumb, because only good gamers will complete the game right... well you have to go through the easy then medium then hard then back to easy etc. better to swap storie lines every now and then or maybe mix them. more fun :D
