The new game ,from Team Soho and Sony, looks to be a great rival of GTA3. There are no "please wait: Loading" screens wen you walk into buildings or from completing a level to the mid-level cut-scene. Also there are no health bars or arrows to follow, you just have to look at how your character is walking to see how hurt he is and your car will indicate for when you should take a corner.
You play a character called mark Hammond who (in the first cut-scene) sees his wife murdered and son kidnapped. A lot of swear words and a car chase through your whole scenery, london, later(which you control) you are flowing through missions to find and get your kid back. You can also take a hostage and just cause havoc but the traffic may get you whilst being chased by the metropolitan police; it depends on the time of day.
The Team Soho production staff have been around london and have done their research because people who live in the city will recognize the backstreets asell as oxford street shops, like Marks & Spencer or HMV.
Because of the no load free flow gameplay, it comes out as an interactive movie and looks great aswell.
I can't wait to get it and i think it could also knock medal of honour Frontline off the topspot.
It comes out around Christmas.
P.S. all the cars you could want in london.
cheers :D

I think The Getaway will beat GTA3, but I'm not sure about GTA Vice City.
Having said that, while they are very similar games, they are also quite different.
The GTA series are really 'fun' games with an almost cartoon-like quality to the violence.
The Getaway is much more real-world, from the storyline to the graphical presentation.
I'm certainly getting both - I've claimed them as my last two GAD prizes! :-)

Has anybody else seen it, come on. it's excellent
I read the whole PSW preview which was great. The human shield mode sounds good but the fogging looks a bit naff. Still looks great, I wish I knew more of London. :(
I bet you SR staff are well looking forward to driving up to HMV and shooting the windows out.

There is also an automatic target locking for lesser able gamers. I really like the fact that you have to look out for your indicator on your car for when to turn
Can't wait till release :oD
