This thread has been linked to the game 'The Getaway'.
For those of you that have played the demo, were you really really amazed by it. I was expecting it to be like 10X better than Vice City but it wasn't. Sure the graphics were, but the controls and camera angles were awful and the way the cars were handled were a bit too realistic it ruined it.
The gun fighting was excellent though.
Your thoughts?

I also didn't think it was that brilliant, i'm still gonna buy it though.
I've predicted it to be the biggest let down of the year.
I loved it. Thought it was different to GTA. Also the gun battles were nicely done. Overall a top looking game.
Hmm i aint so sure about the game now, i was going to order it from SR in the morning but i'm having second thoughts now.
I thought the demo was great, I'm getting it from SR for free anyway so I can't complain :D
I am having my doubts however that it'll be as good as Vice City, especially after reading the preview in PSW which talks about a couple of problems with the game. In the end though I don't think I'll be disappointed with it, and in fact I'm forward to it immensely.
And besides it's not often you actually get to play a game set in England, it makes a nice change, and you can actually drive on the left hand side of the road for once.

the cars were too realistic, errrr wot?
At first it seemed a little slow but once you get going things start to speed up a little. I miss changing the camera to see how badly you've smashed your car up like you can in GTA. The shooting parts are really good. The blood actually stays on your clothes where you were shot. When your injured you walk like a complete cripple. I also found the shotgun and blasted someone with it and watched the blood splat up the wall. That impressed me. Many of the details are superb. You can see the names on the back of cars as well as viewing the details on the beer cans in the warehouse.
