this just got released in australia today and i already got a copy

its pretty fucking good its kind of like a lock, stock and two smoking barrells version of Grand Theft Auto, the downsides to this game ive found is u dont know how much health u got

what is pretty cool tho is u find it harder and harder to walk the more times u get shot

the graphics are good and driving the cars is bullshit fun, its a pretty good game from i can tell so far.

It looks sweet, but it's getting just above average reviews.
It's getting a average of 80 out of 100, and that just doesn't cut it..
They all say that it looks amazing, but plays average, I will think twice about buying it.

I copped this ish today, its crazy tight and mad accurate aswell, its even got my road on it.

The only real downside is the cars handle poorly, other then that its tight.

Its got all the Main Roads from Shoreditch to Southwark on it and some side roads, but the details excellant, all the buildings are accurate. You can tell where you are by the buildings.

Vice City is the better game overall, but the shootouts on The Getaway take a shite on GTA's from a great height IMO.

why wait for gta to make a new 3d version of gta london!?

well thats what i heard its gonna be like, a gta game set in london and the graphics look as good as well.

the game is already out because i saw it in intergames in leigh the other day and i saw it advertised for comet in the sun the other day too...
