Quite a lot of reviews. The mag itself feels alot bigger aswell, pretty good mag overall

getaway looks and plays great, maybe not as good as vice city but its not gonna be a bad game. battle ship aquila is so easy but is fun to play. definitely the best mag money can buy but is a bit expensive at £5.49.

i still haven't found EB. anyways i was watching the beginning of the getaway demo again with Susie and the little lad walking down the road and wookiee is right, they some how seem to swop places.

Aha! I found it. Fancy putting it right over there! I was looking where the rest of the demo info was.

Heh. Strange that they have two challenges, though, I must admit. And one game doesn't have a challenge. Probably some mix up or communication problem. Once there was a picture in the paper that said "Insert caption here" underneath it, or something like that.

Fair enough.

OK, in the Getaway's little box is the challenge about not crashing or resting. Then look to the bar on the far right and it says:

"Challenges
The Getaway
Can you make it to the Electronics Boutique store on Oxford Street before the game decides that you're having a laugh and gives you a 'Mission Failed'? Non-London residents should start by going left, left, then round to the right to get on the right track"

Minus any inadvertant typos that I missed, of course.

Got the mag today. I am going to be pre-ordering The Getaway before its out, or even get it at christmas.

No Nath, it really does have both in. Look if you don't believe me. Although I have tried it and couldn't find it due to the vague directions and my lack of London knowledge.

No, it says get to the hideout without one smash and do the shooting section without healing.

Cheers for posting the OPSM2 review summary Wookie.
