This thread has been linked to the game 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'.
Indeed. Me, all powerful Cube owner played on GTA: Vice City, and a demo of the Getaway.
What did I think of them? Well. Both look pretty average (that has to be said) and especialy on The Getaway, you can easily see a PSOne root for the PS2 (obviously). However, both played well, and seem to me to be cool titles. Having said that, I HATE VICE CITYS LOCATION. Its bland, too bright and pretty dull, compared to Liberty City anyway. The weapons were cool, in particular the excellent Chaingun, as were the helicopters, but apart from the new location, vehicles, guns and 'buildings' this is little more than an expansion pack in my eyes. Nowts wrong with that, just I wouldn't get so wound up about it. But thats me. Otherwise, its a good game, just not to my taste.
The Getaway seemed good, with some cool cut scenes, but again looked pretty poor (to me), but I liked the sneaky bits, and grabbing an assault rifle and running around......hang on. Where have I done that before? Eh? Oh, about 5 other games in the past 2 months. But still. Good - and it was only a demo, so I'm sure the full game is better.
Both good, but in my eyes, nothing special. Both look nasty compared to my lovely Resident Evil and Rogue Leader discs though. Still, good all the same.
In my opinion. I'm sure you all have differing views, so plase don't jump down my thorat for my apparent 'dislike' - Yes I prefer Nintendo, but that dosne't meant I hate PS2. That would be lame.

Good cut scenes?
There is only one developer whose cut-scenes are even worth taking notice of: Blizzard. Kings of CGI. That is undisputable.

I hope The Getaway can mirror Vice ciy's brilliance

This is getting repetitive now:
Who cares if SOME GC games are a bit babyish, but the thing that matters is whether they're fun or not, if you don't like one of the best platformers ever made, then that is fine - I understand that some people have certain disorders like being retarded etc.
Have you actually played the GC?
If your still convinced te GC is crap then here, feast your eyes on this:
The following are a list of games that are not babyish, and are amazing:
Resident Evil
Eternal Darkness
Nightfire
Metroid Prime
Super Smash bros
Star Fox Adventures
Rogue Leader II
There. Anything else?

Your probably going to get slane by some of the fanboys that often enter in here, but all the same, your views are respected by most. :D
As for me, i really like both titles. Loved Vice City and still play on it now. Agree about the location, some of the places were a little boring and dull, but all the same, you do get use to it and many other places make up for it. And with so much to do in the game you often actually forget about that.
As for the Getaway, i really cant wait for this. In terms of gameplay i know this game isnt going to beat Vice City, i dont think much can. But i do expect the story line to be much better, more gritty and more enjoyable. And to finally rip around England with all the familiar road markings and places, well thats going to be brilliant for me.

I like PS2, but i think the GC has higher prospects for the future.
