hi, and merry chrimbo to y'all, ive decided to not lecture you about my presents and make you feel jealous or anything so im sticking to what i set out to do.

the getaway is absolutely b*ll0*ks! it has gone too far! im not old, im average age, 18! and this game is seriously disturbing. gta VC kicks the getaways boney behind! there is feck all to do, nothing fun, only 50 cars! no motorbikes! you cant even dive out of the cars! you need to manually aim the gun, no locking on! only 1 weapon at a time and you need to pick up other guns off dead people. no helicopters either. vice city does all of these much better, and more. in vice city it is as violent as you want it to be and nothing is truly disturbing but the getaway has a very grim end and a sickening torture sequence. im not joking, if your under 18, DO NOT GET THIS!

No Motorbikes!!! No Helicopters!!! And No ability to Jump from moving vehicles!!! How disturbing.

By the way, I prefer the getaway to Vice City, and at least the getaway is aimed at an older audience, which you can’t say about VC.

Only 50 cars!!! All with twice the detail of those in GTA VC. The outrage!!!

I'm glad that YOU are having a bad Christmas. Mwahaha.

lol, i agree, i'm 13, and i haven't found anything 'disturbing' about it, the only thing i did find myself doing is having a fun time, if you're refering to the scene where that bloke is electricuting the triad, then you'll see that if you compare that to the likes of Resident Evil, or silent Hill than that's nothing, also it IS 18, so you can't blame the game if younger kids are disturbed. There is a lock on button, which is R1, i think.

I got the game today, and it wicked. I found a tank?! and smashed some cars in, killed some cops and had a great time playing it. Jumped a few ramps, had a ball in the busses and got ticked off with the missions. Great game, but i don't think the missions will last too long.
