Blimey! The Getaway combines Hollywood movie magic with gritty video game action for an experience that is at times A-List and other times B-Movie.

Largely focused on realism, The Getaway provides a look into the future of what free-roaming action games can be; but don't expect it to be perfect just yet.

Description

The Getaway delivers an ultra-realistic interactive experience that blurs the line between cinema and games. As one of the most ambitious projects in videogame history, it sets new standards in entertainment. Set in the cosmopolitan hub of Europe, London, The Getaway delivers a photorealistic gameplay environment. The development team scoured 40 square kilometers of the city to reproduce in the game; each detail of every block and street corner is replicated right down to the cracks in the pavement. The Getaway is a free-roaming, mission-based, 3D action game. The majority of the action takes place from a third-person perspective, but a first-person view is available in the driving sections. The gameplay offers more freedom to players than any other game. How should they complete their missions? Drive? Or run? It’s inevitably up to them.
