I dont actually think they were two missions even though it said it on OPS2 demo, i think the missions start from where the demo finished

Though I haven't played the full game yet, I'd probably say the Getaway. Realism means a much more challenging game, and I love challenging games, something that makes you think before you act rewards you more than a game, which just give you a quick adrenalin boost.

i reckon vice city is better than the getaway as the getaway is too realitic and the controls are wierd (square for shoot-what!)vice city is fun and the missions are probably better

I have not played Vice City yet but i have heard its very similar to GTA3 except for a few minor changes this may mean i get the Getaway first. The only thing a think may be a problem with the Getaway is how long it lasts i mean you get 2 missions on the demo to play which takes about 15 minutes to complete and the whole game has 25 missions in it.

The producers have already started making an add on pack as well which may mean they think they will have people complaining about the length of the game and they can release this to keep them quite.

The screenshots I have seen of the Getaway are very good, the demo is meant to be excellent, but I have read some people complaining about the Getaway. And to be honest I was not too impressed with Vice City, GTA3 was a new experience, but Vice City seemed to be taking advantage of the huge fanbase, ie. It was nothing 'new', and did not have enough work to make it exceptional. So I would say that the Getaway will be better, if you are like me and am disappointed with Vice City.
