The Getaway

   An uncompromising action thriller of a game, The Getaway features breakneck, ultra-realistic driving action, mixed with combat on foot and unprecedented levels of cinematic realism, in what promises to be one of the toughest, grittiest games on any format. An opportunity to drive the streets of a photo-realistic London in a wide range of vehicles stopping where you want to get out and investigate you'll need to have your wits about you as you get more and more involved in Londons seedy underworld. The Getaway revolves around three violent men, locked in a struggle for power, justice, and revenge. Mark Hammond, an ex-gangster on the run and desperate to avoid capture so that he can clear his name, stands wrongly accused of the murder of his wife. Frank Carter, a ruthless vigilante copper, currently suspended from the Flying Squad, is prepared to go to any lengths lawful or otherwise to get justice. Both men, desperate to clear their names, find themselves manipulated and controlled by the third: Charlie Jolson, a notorious crime boss and master of London's East End underground for over thirty years. Operating on either side of the law, they're both desperate for revenge and, for different reasons, both out to bring down London's king of crime.
