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

Look at the postal you'll see me gary darkin from essex it's about secret games i made a chat topic on future of games earlier today about it.

Gots to go now buddy see u soon maybe tomorrow at 6. bye

The Getway's cars seem a little slow to get it to stop speed. And there not all that fast really...

But the rest of the game rules.

here here

i'm sure the games alot better than the demo, even though it rocked.

the one thing i didn't like was the fact that if you ran over people on the pavement it slowed you down. but it was worth it to hear that lovely splat sound...

Yeah, also your car screws up really quickly, after 3 bashes your on fire!

What reasons did OPSM2 give to warrant the 9/10 score?

Why we'd buy it:

- Breackneck driving through packed city streets
- Scrupulous depiction of London
- The most cinematic shootouts seen on PS2


Why we'd leave it:
- Slight issues with the camera and controls
- More linear than Vice City
- Slightly samey missions


Graphics: Evocative interiors and London looks pixel perfect - 9/10
Sound: Decent cut-scenes, cheesy cockney cliches - 9/10
Gameplay: Motorised mayhem and stylish gunplay - 9/10
Life span: Two characters, one massive challenge - 9/10

Overall: A compelling trawl through London's criminal underworld. The most cinematic experience yet on PS2 - a landmark title. 9/10 - Silver Award
