I've had it a whole 25 hours and I'm stuck already.

Ok, so in the Defence Ministry (I know, how crap am i..) after doing the glass lift microphone bit, i've entered a building through the window, and gone upstairs in a lift. Upstairs there are 2 glass doors with keypads, 1 covered by a camera, and a normal locked door leading into an office (been in, nothing interesting). So, where now? I can't find the codes for the doors, and there doesnt appear to be anywhere else to go...


Anyone?

Not really. It's about a 7/10 game. At the most. I was expecting at least nine.

I have one. I was disappointed.

One of the two fanboys? Who would they be then? To be honest I think the biggest fanboy is the accuser especailly when it comes down to Sony and the PS2, they can't do a thing wrong ;)

When you make the bloke get out of the car....Remember Driver 2? When you got out of the car on that? That graphics were appalling.

He walks dodgey, The animation is'nt fluent and i've "fell" through the ground on numerous occasions. Ok, i've only played the first few missions on the game but still I found it highly medicore, Getting in a Nissan Sunny (Yes I know, a granny car) and attempting to speed down the road is so slow, The game just does'nt give any sense of speed.

Give me GTA3:VC anyday. Even though thats not brilliant, Its better then the Getaway.

The cars are realistic. These are supposed to be real cars in real traffic - it isn't a racing game. When's the last time you saw a Fiesta do 0-60 in 2 seconds? Get the better cars (Lexus, Lotus, TVR etc.) and you get better speed. Any quicker would render the game unplayable.


> There is so many graphical flaws its unbeleiveable

That's nonsense. The graphics are solid. The real let-down is the camera system, but it's at least consistent - when you get used to it, it's perfectly manageable.


> especially when you get out of a car.

Explain please, because I've no problem with it.

But of course, I expect to be told my opinion is wrong in this forum, at least by one of the two fanboys.

It looks like Gamezfreak gas thrown out the idea of getting a Cube and instead decided to get a Surround Sound Keyboard ;)

Good luck getting a copy, though - sold out everywhere here where I live, since a week before Xmas.
