"Rolling the car on The Getaway."

Is it me or is doing a barrel roll in a car on The Getaway impossible. I have tried everything to roll the car. I even resorted to finding a ramp and discovered that the scenery is mainly flat, so my plan failed. I can't even seem to swing the car around a corner on two wheels. So can it be done? I'm sure it can, remember that screen shot of the car jumping over the poilce van, released a while back? Hmmm...

I think because it's more realistic than Vice City, barrel rolls will be harder, but not necessarily impossible. It's just a matter of finding out how you can roll which is the problem.

And in a totally unrelated topic, I managed to nick a police car last night when I was playing the demo. There where two of them on a road block, but strangely there where no coppers about.

Yeah I stole a Ford Fiesta cop car last night. Not a very good car. Has a siren though.

Are there any pedestrians in the game at all? I would think it'd be sort of crucial if you wanted to a realistic London to have hunners of people mobbing the streets.

Of course there are pedestrians in the game, if you want to cruel you can drive on the pavement and honk your horn forcing the poor sods into the middle of the road where they’ll probably get run over by a taxi or something.

That reminds me, I think it's funny driving on the wrong side of the road and forcing cars to swerve and crash into things, a nice if somewhat small and irrelevant touch.
