To give another anecdote about how accurate the in-game London is; my dad is a black cab driver and was doing The Knowledge at the time this released. When he saw me playing and realised how accurate it was, he’d get me to steal a taxi and he would use the game to revise routes for his exams. He credits the game with helping him become a black cab driver, that’s how accurate it is.
@ Pretty much, especially the second one with extra freedom. Obviously it didn’t tell him if a road was one-way or had roadworks etc, but for general routes? Was there best thing there was outside of a road map and when Google Maps became a thing
Creatively speaking, the fact that they used zero UI elements (except for subtitles) and built all of the gameplay around that idea deserves huge applause from me. It’s an amazing approach to increasing immersion, I very much appreciate.
Absolutely, it's a shame more developers don't take this approach. The first Assassin's creed was made with this approach, evident in it's sound design, but I think ubisoft got cold feet
@@paullynch1246 there were a lot of games that did that in the mid-2000s like the Turok and Alone in the Dark reboots but gamers started to miss having UIs.

Trespasser is another game that removed the ui in a brilliant way. That game is immersive as hell despite the dinosaurs acting like they are mentally handicapped.
I’ve spent 18 of my 21 years alive living in London and genuinely I’ve never seen such a realistic portrayal of a real city in an open world game let alone my home city. They nailed everything from real life streets to real shops and licensed cars from the time period. It’s just something that could never be created today and for that these games will always hold a special place in my heart
Exploring places in video games that you’ve been to in real life is always a cool experience, let alone for you to live in that city. The closest for me was playing Yakuza after I visited Tokyo, it was surreal how close they captured the “vibe” and feel of Tokyo.
The Getaway is the best portrayal of London in a game bar none. If you live or work in london and play this game, you'll be amazed to see all the little shops they put in this game. Curry's, WHSmith, Jessops, Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, Boots etc, it's crazy. I don't think it would happen these days due to copyright
I remember the national gaming magazines praised the game for its accuracy but I didn't really believe that until I saw more and more londoners saying it's almost 1:1. Amazing games even if they're flawed, was just replaying Black monday last night
I absolutely loved this series. I bought a PS3 at launch because The Getaway 3 was supposed to be coming out soon after. I was so pissed when that game got canned.
Yes this! Completely the same. Had a book that came with a Game Magazine (possibly Games Master), which had upcoming releases for the early renders of The PS3. So looking forward to the Getaway 3 in HD quality, then nothing.
@@pointlessendeavors5653you mean driving on the side of the carriage way so you as a carriage driver could defend yourself with your right hand (sword hand) from highway men. Yeah we did shit real. Yanks just rode on the right to do with farming or some bullshit.

The fact Michael Cera's character (Evan) in Superbad, was playing The Getaway Black Monday in that film, is cool enough. I remember watching it as a young kid, and thinking it was great, these games are Team Soho's masterpieces, even tho London Studio did develop Black Monday, a remastered collection or remake would be dope, honestly, I'm glad to see more people talking about these games again, and thanks for doing this video Gman.
@@bigman88george3 He wanted to train Doug, then he discovered his PlayStation 2. He said that The Getaway was his favorite videogame. It was an episode of season 7.
The Getaway, Sleeping Dogs, Yakuza. So many games get falsely labeled GTA clones even though you can clearly tell they aren't if you actually play the game for more than 5 minutes.
That's just the way it is. GTA & R* are the daddy of open world crime games, anything similar is naturally going to be compared to it. Unfortunately, the less intelligent among us are going to write those games off as nothing more than a copy that isn't worth their time, but there's nothing we're going to do about that. I'm a huge GTA fan but I've always loved playing the games that are inspired by it. The first two Saints Row games were some of my favorites when I was younger & I absolutely loved Sleeping Dogs. I even had a lot of fun with the first two Watch Dogs games, just the list a few.
@@1ironside ahhh yeah just driving on the rims and you were all burnt out 👍😂 that game was epic man you even had a choice of 3 maps to drive to if i remember correctly, niice in france, miami and chicago maybe? what an awesome game i loved finding the secret cars like the hippie van then watching my gameplay in the media player
What makes The Getaway so special is how it uses real-life brands and locations to fully immerse you in its London setting. You’re not just driving generic cars on random streets-you’re navigating real roads with real shopfronts. The attention to detail is incredible. For example, at 19:13, the bus on the right has an advert for Mamma Mia! the Musical, which you really would have seen in London back in the early 2000s. As someone who’s lived in London my whole life, playing this game when it first came out was surreal, and looking back at it now feels like stepping into a time capsule. Recognising the streets, spotting the long-gone stores like Orange (now EE), and seeing how accurately it captured that era is so nostalgic. The Getaway wasn’t just a game-it was a love letter to early 2000s London. That’s why I was so disappointed with Watch Dogs: Legion. It had the chance to do for modern London what The Getaway did for the early 2000s, but instead, it felt like a generic Ubisoft game with a London skin. The city in Legion didn’t have the same soul or attention to detail-it was missing the character and realism that made The Getaway so memorable. For me, The Getaway is still unmatched when it comes to capturing the real essence of London in a video game.
not only that but the general appearance of the architecture is so faithful to that specific time period, it’s like a time capsule of late 90s/early 00s inner city britain
I worked in the West End in this era and it is like stepping into a time machine. That takes a lot of work though and has it pluses and minuses as the presenter notes.
No, he means there was a true Getaway 3 being developed for the PS3 that was eventually scrapped for reasons I can't remember. I recall seeing a trailer for a much more graphically advanced London at E3 06 or 07 @@fruitylerlups530
Not being able to heal in BM is actually a weird intentional feature. You can only refill around 150 HP (I think) by resting, after that and you can't rest at all until the next mission or after dying and loading a checkpoint. (There is a health cheat, often mislabeled as double health that does actually allow you to rest forever like the first game.) This is why wall-mounted medkits exist since they allow you to heal without resting. (and annoyingly don't restore your resting health.) It's a mechanic I'm not a fan of, especially since on numerous instances Black Monday "silently" moves you from mission to mission (such as one mission ending inside a building and a new one starting as you exit) so it's never clear when your resting health is actually restored. (As well as some levels having nearly no medkits.)
The Getaway is one of my all time favourite games. I have fond memories playing this in December 2002. I hope we one day get a new installment/remake/remaster.
Driving On The Wrong Side Of The Road While Committing Crime Simulator 1 and 2 hold a special, janky-ass place in my heart. Thanks for reviewing this one, Gman
the ONE thing I remember about this game, and I am surprised you never mentioned it, was the main reason I stopped playing it as a youth (I did eventually finish it later): The unskippable cutscenes! You'd die in a mission, and have to sit through the whole five minute intro cutscene to the mission again, growing more resentful with each line of dialogue
The licensed cars are still such an impressive part of these games. Most games like this can't pull that off, I still don't understand how they got manufacturers to agree to this. Most of them don't want to see their cars getting smashed or shot at. Seeing Mitsubishi in the second game made me so happy as well. Seeing the Evos & more importantly for me the 3000gts was just surreal in a game like this. I'm still driving a 3000gt VR4 to this day, I can't get over those cars lol.
Hell yeah dude. As a Brit, this series was always so cool to play. Analysing the city and its accuracy is how I imagine people feel seeing American inspired places in GTA.
It's always been a mystery why this game isn't widely heralded as a classic among general consensus, absolutely blew me away as a kid, especially one from south west England who'd never seen a big city before. Getting to experience such an exaggerated & heightened version of the capital through essentially lock, stock : the game, was an absolute blast and I'm genuinely surprised the IP has never been revived, especially with so much time between GTA games
Pushing the boundaries of what consoles were capable of and taking risks is what games used to be about. Sorry to get all ''back in my day'' on this, but it was better then and I am tired of pretending that it wasn't. There are high end PS3 games that still blow out of the water what the PS5 is doing today.
Totally agree, the same way that the VAST majority of xbox 360 games blow anything on the series x out of the water. To this day, there isnt a game that comes even remotely close to being as replayable as something like Left 4 Dead 2 for example.
And also, games actually worth playing dont come out nearly as often as back then. Nowadays, you wait 6 plus years for a game that just turns out to be broken at launch, missing promised features, or just straight up lied too through deceptive marketing.
It's remarkable what this studio did with photograph based textures and baked liting. Back then this game looked photoreal especially if you'd ever seen England. It looks like GTA V just in low resolution.
One of this game's sequels (Gangs of London) was later adapted into a TV show produced by Gareth Evans, the guy who directed The Raid 1 and 2. Wildly violent stuff.
Made by Brendan McNamara, the guy behind LA Noire, another technical miracle ahead of its time, featuring highly detailed, but devoid of activities recreation of a large city, a huge leap in actor scanning and motion capture for gaming, attention to detail and serious atmosphere, realistic, immersive gameplay and relative lack of humor. There is very little known about the man, and his career seems to have halted since then. 😟
According to some developers of Team Bondi, he's an asshole to work with. That's mostly the reason why LA Noire was dropped by Sony and bought by Rockstar. The team was bleeding talent like crazy and R* basically finalized the whole thing by bringing in their devs and managers and sidelining McNamara. Apparently his latest project was a sort of sequel of LA Noire called "Wh*re of the Orient" set in 1930s Shanghai and published by WB Games. The project got cancelled from what I've heard.
He founded Videogames Deluxe, who made the VR LA Noire game and the updated version of GTA Definitive Edition. They’re 4 years into developing an open world game for Rockstar as well.
17:28 - if you think this is busy traffic in London, then you don't know London. When I first started watching this video my first thought was " ah I wish the roads were that empty in London!"
Same here. I had no idea the game had two campaigns with two different characters. When i saw we could play as the cop i thought it was gonna be just a mission or two, but it was a full campaign.
I still have my PS2 and all the games I collected to play on it. It's hooked up along with my other systems. One of my favorite games on PS2 is 'Cold Winter', an FPS but as a lone infiltrator on a mission to take down a 'Deep State' organization, like the 'Enclave', but late-90's Cold War think. It's a really fun and interesting game, with excellent graphics, realistic guns, and good sound. I'm surprised it isn't better known as I've never seen it reviewed.
@@SnakeMyshkin Cool! You remember it. I was into 'BLACK' as well. That was a great FPS. I even had to copy the DVD because I wore out the original. The spindle hole started cracking away.
I remember playing it on my PS2 and thinking it was the most realistic looking game I've ever seen 😮 funny how times change and graphics always improve 😂 I will never forget the getaway
I remember playing Final Fantasy 8 for the first time as a kid, and seeing the FMV for the first time, and I thought it was barely distinguishable from real life 😄 A few years later, I didn't think it could get much more realistic that MGS2. Man have things changed
The thing that I will always remember about this game was that British Telecom threatened to sue the developer for using its logo on the side of a van in the pre-release demo. Normally I wouldn't have much sympathy for a corporation crying over product placement, but said van was being used in an assassination mission so perhaps they had a point.
I think it's also because you go into a police station dressed a telecoms engineer and then murder a copper (Detective). I think that probably had more to do with it.
The Getaway is still one of my favorite games on the PS2. I love the dual wielding gunplay and how each section of the game ramps up in difficulty. A few things I thought it might be worth mentioning. When an enemy hits the back end of your car from the side (the standard PIT Manuever law enforcement uses) and it damages your indicator lights, you're forced to get a new car as well. This makes car sequences even more annoying. You're only allowed to do the "lean on the wall to heal" thing so many times per section in both games. If you keep trying after, your character will shake their head and stand up like normal. The enemies in the long coats are wearing body armor. You have to free aim to shoot them in the head or else they are bullet sponges. Because the game famously doesn't tell you anything about how to play it, these things had to be discovered through gameplay.
Was far too young to be playing this game when I was 9, I didn’t know that the indicator on the cars directed you to your missions and had to get my big sister to help me on the very first mission 😂 wish there were more gritty, violent and realistic games like this now. Sunk so many hours into these games. I’m originally from Scotland and moved to London when I was 17 the map is so accurate it is unbelievable. Way ahead of its time
It's wild how in that first game's clips there's almost no textures and very simple environmental design... barely above a PS1, and in just a few years time we're getting insane detail and depth... the early 2000s were definitely a time of very fast improvements in tech and graphics.
Forgot to mention that Don Kembry (Mark Hammond) made the TINIEST cameo appearance in L.A. Noire. He plays a boxer who's last name is also Hammond. I got the BIGGEST dopamine rush when I saw his face and ESPECIALLY when I heard his voice 🥹🥹🥹🥹
By far one of my favorite games of that generation. But also the most frustrating game ever. Not being able to pan the camera around was the biggest gripe I had about it next to the bullet sponge enemies. But the driving wasn't too bad and the fact that everything was set in a realistic setting made it more immersive to me at the time. Yeah, it's a little like GTA but it's its own identity at the same time. The story of the game I did like and how both Hammond and Carter have a similar goal. I feel like the short comings that were in this game they sort of fixed in the second one. It took me a few years to finish the first game. I remember just getting so frustrated with it, it collected dust on my shelf when I was playing other games like Vice City and San Andreas. I think it's one of those games that is much more appreciated with age.
The image of the rear end of that Vectra with the flashing blue tail lights is etched into my soul. The cars looked so accurate to the real things in this game.
I loved how realistic this game was back in the day. No HUD done very well. The turn signals acting as your GPS.. the blood soaked clothing representing your HP.. and the wall leaning, yeah. 20 seconds is nothing imo but I can see how some would be annoyed with that. It enhances immersion for me.
Today we were talking about classic games at my school's lunchtime games club. I brought up The Getaway which not one of the kids - and some staff had ever heard of! We found the game in youtube and after 5 minutes the boys aged 14-15 were screaming for more😂. They absolutely loved it. It took me back to when my older 2 kids were younger and I had to play it if they were in bed or not around 😂. I have to say this has to be my all time favourite game on my all time favourite PlayStation console. I had them all 1 to 5 but PS2 was my favourite. If there was any way to get The Getaway for the PS5 I am here for it,the original game not a reboot. A true classic!👏🏿👏🏿
The Getaway is an amazing piece of retro gaming (crazy to say it's retro but that's a fact). When I first played it I was 10 or 11 and it was a collision with a concrete wall compared to how simple and breeze GTA games are. No HUD, no map (only paper print) no hints, tutorial, nothing at all. You're just being thrown into the water and you gotta figure out how to swim yourself. Shame the driving physics was a bit funky but aside from that the game was amazing regardless. I decided to play it again couple of months ago on PS2 slim and it's still kicking my ass. It's difficult but gives a lot of joy. Shame they didn't decide to release third game, we only saw trailers. Rumors say Playstation Home was launched instead on the foundations of what was supposed to be the PS3 release of the new Getaway title.
that art museum mission was so awesome and surreal. they did such a good job with this game i often wonder why it isnt talked about as much. the realism of the gun battles and the driving, real model cars, cinematography .. honestly the game was almost flawless.
The Getaway Black Monday was my favorite game on the PS2, even though I liked the first installment despite its issues. Both games have an incredible action-packed gangster story inspired by the British crime movies like Snatch and Get Carter. My only regret is that Sony never gave another chance to London Studio to make The Getaway 3 and Eight Days which were some of the games I anticipated for the PS3. Alas, London Studio has closed this year and I don't think Sony will make a remake of The Getaway, which is disappointing because there are a lot of PlayStation licences that need to be experienced again like Sly Cooper and Syphon Filter.
I'm pretty sure it's tradition for everybody in the UK who grew up in the 2000s to have this and black Monday. definitely a Hidden gem internationally and I would love a remaster or a remake to come out now although given some of the themes I don't think they would
There's nothing wrong with any of the themes if you're a well-adjusted adult. We just need to stop listening to people who are chronically online complaining about everything. Things shouldn't have to be dumbed down & censored for an overly vocal minority of people.
I remember playing this, ever time your dude started shooting at someone he would say, "ave some of dat" in a British accent over and over. It's still burned in my brain. Like Nam 67 and the Vietcong dudes saying, "Ima get you GI" in the most comical accent. Games from this era had the worst/best overused voice lines.
You couldn't move the camera but you could use the right analogue stick as accelerator and brake. Which was actually gradual unlike any other game I can think of at the time. Even racing games had the throttle as an on/off button. I spent hours driving around on number 1 and 2 loved this game
When you said you recover health by leaning against a wall, I thought you meant in a cool, “having a smoke break” way. Didn’t expect him doubled over on the wall fighting off a heart attack
This game was great , being from Ireland it was a great treat to drive European cars that I see every day in a video game , and the streets of London, Cop cars, cars, the road signs and buildings and interiors are very similar to cities in Ireland like Dublin , We may never get GTA Ireland but this was close enough
I was so hyped for The Getaway 3 (and Eight Days) that they were one of the primary reasons I even got my PS3 in 2008. Then both wound up getting canceled. You can still find some of the trailers on youtube. They made a VR game that was kinda sorta vaguely Getaway adjacent iirc, but not really a Getaway game.
I have a friend who's Dad worked for Sony at the time, I think he was the Art director for them both. I distinctly remember seeing the framed platinum Discs in his office.
You missed Part 3 that can be played... if you know where ... the PSP game "Gangs of London (2006)" , the two PS4 PSVR games "London Heist"(2016) "Blood & Truth"(2019) ...
I’d just started watching your videos and simultaneously have been craving more content that revisited “The Getaway.” Glad I found your channel right on time! Thanks!
This game doesn’t need a remaster it needs a majestic remake, one of the most underrated games back in the day for sure a game well a head of its time, you comparing gta 4 to this game says it all.
It’s amazing what they did with 480p and 16:9 and the Emotion engine. Now we’ve got 2160p, HDR10 and 120hz VRR displays being ran by GPUs that have more RAM than the PS2+PS3+360 combined and it’s an event when we get a halfway decent game from a AAA developer 😂. They missed a golden opportunity to include all the garbage cars British Leyland made and all the “Zombie knives” the BBC is always fear mongering about. It would have been cool if the Luty was an unlockable SMG.
Growing up in London it really was remarkable how accurate the map was in a lot of places. You could almost get to where I grew up and the church in the far bottom right of the map is the one my parents got married in. It's almost frustrating how close ti my old house the map gets in that area! I tried playing it on emulation a few months ago and although it didn't work well (some kind of fog issue), it's still fun driving around a London that doesn't exist anymore as so much of it has changed in the years since it's release.
Loved The Getaway, I would spend days driving around following Traffic Laws and enjoying sight seeing. Live 20 miles from London but had never been at that time. I still remember where the secret cars are stored in that country house, wow the memories.
Great video. I had The Getaway but I was so young. It was amazing seeing licensed cars in an open world shoot ‘em up game like this! For me it was a big standout, I enjoyed free roaming and the car selection a load! Like getting the rare Skyline from the mansion near Buckingham Palace
What a blast from the past! I remember playing this when it was released and was blown away by the graphics lol I remember it being really bloody hard! But I was a kid back then
As a Londoner of 37yrs, this game was the GTA renovation that I needed!! My big bro and I loved this game back then. It got me to stop playing Jak & Daxter and Freedom Fighters. It's so dope driving around you places you recognise in a game world and I'm quite shocked there aren't More London open-world games like it. GTA just keeps spamming Miami, NY & LA but London would be a dope city if fully mapped out similar to NY in PS4 Spider-Man.
My God, finally someone did a good, long and very well explaining video about my beloved Getaway. The Getaway Black Monday is my whole childhood, I played like 10 hours a day until I remembered every corner of London :)
This game was incredible. I was a little too young to fully play it through and appreciate the story. I always remember trying to find the Lancia Delta
You had me at "Bloodstained Breadcrumbs".... another Gman banger here! I was the only one out of all of my friends when I was growing up that played these. It's a good/bad hidden gem series that needs remakes. Hell I'd be happy with a port. Thanks for reviewing them. Awesome video!!!
All i wanted was the AHHHGGGG after Suze gets clipped but you clipped that instead! :'( Marks scream in the beginning and the chase that follows really made that game memerable and one of the most intense story games I had ever seen yet at that age. So glad you did this one GMAN TULES!!!
Favourite thing for me about this game as a kid was that every single car is a real car. I was a car kid and just loved that they were all real life cars that I saw everyday.
This game inspired my love for the Toyota MR2. I am an emigrant from Northern Ireland to the United States. I played the game to feel a bit of home. I bought a MR2 a couple years ago because of this game.

The Getaway, Sleeping Dogs, Yakuza. So many games get falsely labeled GTA clones even though you can clearly tell they aren't if you actually play the game for more than 5 minutes.
Especially Yakuza. It's closer to Dragon Quest than GTA
Those comparison was abysmal
Saints row too
That's just the way it is. GTA & R* are the daddy of open world crime games, anything similar is naturally going to be compared to it. Unfortunately, the less intelligent among us are going to write those games off as nothing more than a copy that isn't worth their time, but there's nothing we're going to do about that. I'm a huge GTA fan but I've always loved playing the games that are inspired by it. The first two Saints Row games were some of my favorites when I was younger & I absolutely loved Sleeping Dogs. I even had a lot of fun with the first two Watch Dogs games, just the list a few.
Sleeping dogs was generic open world
Getaway Black Monday, Driver 3 and True Crime Streets of LA were my favorite games of that style on the PS2. I miss those times.
yep all three of those games were brilliant, some of the best fun you can have on ps2 and they were all unique in their own way, not just gta clones 👍
Hell Yes!! Driver 3 for the blown up car that you could still drive. True Crime was epic!
I remember in true crime streets of ny you could search people’s trunk
@@1ironside ahhh yeah just driving on the rims and you were all burnt out 👍😂 that game was epic man you even had a choice of 3 maps to drive to if i remember correctly, niice in france, miami and chicago maybe? what an awesome game i loved finding the secret cars like the hippie van then watching my gameplay in the media player
@@whoschach yea streets of NY was waaaay better than LA. You get to learn different martial arts and the scenery was grimey. Loved that game
What makes The Getaway so special is how it uses real-life brands and locations to fully immerse you in its London setting. You’re not just driving generic cars on random streets-you’re navigating real roads with real shopfronts. The attention to detail is incredible. For example, at 19:13, the bus on the right has an advert for Mamma Mia! the Musical, which you really would have seen in London back in the early 2000s.
As someone who’s lived in London my whole life, playing this game when it first came out was surreal, and looking back at it now feels like stepping into a time capsule. Recognising the streets, spotting the long-gone stores like Orange (now EE), and seeing how accurately it captured that era is so nostalgic. The Getaway wasn’t just a game-it was a love letter to early 2000s London.
That’s why I was so disappointed with Watch Dogs: Legion. It had the chance to do for modern London what The Getaway did for the early 2000s, but instead, it felt like a generic Ubisoft game with a London skin. The city in Legion didn’t have the same soul or attention to detail-it was missing the character and realism that made The Getaway so memorable. For me, The Getaway is still unmatched when it comes to capturing the real essence of London in a video game.
not only that but the general appearance of the architecture is so faithful to that specific time period, it’s like a time capsule of late 90s/early 00s inner city britain
I worked in the West End in this era and it is like stepping into a time machine. That takes a lot of work though and has it pluses and minuses as the presenter notes.
These games were TRULY ahead of their time. Its a shame we never got The Getaway 3! It had SO MUCH hype back in the day!
there was on PSP, its called Gangs of London!
No, he means there was a true Getaway 3 being developed for the PS3 that was eventually scrapped for reasons I can't remember. I recall seeing a trailer for a much more graphically advanced London at E3 06 or 07 @@fruitylerlups530
There was a planned Getaway 3, for the PS3, but it got cancelled.
Didn't even know that was a thing
@@Retro.Gamer.1982 Sony are daft i am still pissed off to this day.
Not being able to heal in BM is actually a weird intentional feature.
You can only refill around 150 HP (I think) by resting, after that and you can't rest at all until the next mission or after dying and loading a checkpoint. (There is a health cheat, often mislabeled as double health that does actually allow you to rest forever like the first game.)
This is why wall-mounted medkits exist since they allow you to heal without resting. (and annoyingly don't restore your resting health.)
It's a mechanic I'm not a fan of, especially since on numerous instances Black Monday "silently" moves you from mission to mission (such as one mission ending inside a building and a new one starting as you exit) so it's never clear when your resting health is actually restored. (As well as some levels having nearly no medkits.)
The Getaway is one of my all time favourite games. I have fond memories playing this in December 2002. I hope we one day get a new installment/remake/remaster.
Driving On The Wrong Side Of The Road While Committing Crime Simulator 1 and 2 hold a special, janky-ass place in my heart. Thanks for reviewing this one, Gman
the ONE thing I remember about this game, and I am surprised you never mentioned it, was the main reason I stopped playing it as a youth (I did eventually finish it later):
The unskippable cutscenes!
You'd die in a mission, and have to sit through the whole five minute intro cutscene to the mission again, growing more resentful with each line of dialogue
Old games were equally awesome and horrible lol
the getaway was the coolest game I have played back then. I still listen to the main menu theme from time to time.
and it was hard af
These cutscenes are actually impressive for 2002
The licensed cars are still such an impressive part of these games. Most games like this can't pull that off, I still don't understand how they got manufacturers to agree to this. Most of them don't want to see their cars getting smashed or shot at. Seeing Mitsubishi in the second game made me so happy as well. Seeing the Evos & more importantly for me the 3000gts was just surreal in a game like this. I'm still driving a 3000gt VR4 to this day, I can't get over those cars lol.
beautiful car, enjoy it !
They didn’t get permission lol, on some new retail versions they removed some real brands because they had a problem with it
Brain dead pedestrians? Sorry Gman, it's just an average day in real-life London.
😅😅😅
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣💯
Hell yeah dude. As a Brit, this series was always so cool to play. Analysing the city and its accuracy is how I imagine people feel seeing American inspired places in GTA.
It's always been a mystery why this game isn't widely heralded as a classic among general consensus, absolutely blew me away as a kid, especially one from south west England who'd never seen a big city before.
Getting to experience such an exaggerated & heightened version of the capital through essentially lock, stock : the game, was an absolute blast and I'm genuinely surprised the IP has never been revived, especially with so much time between GTA games
1:51 How does a PS2 game with those graphics capture the look and vibe of a random English alley so perfectly, right down to the colouring of the sky.
Pushing the boundaries of what consoles were capable of and taking risks is what games used to be about. Sorry to get all ''back in my day'' on this, but it was better then and I am tired of pretending that it wasn't. There are high end PS3 games that still blow out of the water what the PS5 is doing today.
Totally agree, the same way that the VAST majority of xbox 360 games blow anything on the series x out of the water. To this day, there isnt a game that comes even remotely close to being as replayable as something like Left 4 Dead 2 for example.
And also, games actually worth playing dont come out nearly as often as back then. Nowadays, you wait 6 plus years for a game that just turns out to be broken at launch, missing promised features, or just straight up lied too through deceptive marketing.
The one thing that games are ‘about’ isn’t that.
@@citizen3000 You are the modern audience. Congratulations and enjoy Concord 2.

It's remarkable what this studio did with photograph based textures and baked liting. Back then this game looked photoreal especially if you'd ever seen England. It looks like GTA V just in low resolution.
I almost died when he talked about Mitchells head and said get ahead of himself
I love that he brought that up because I watched a walkthrough of this game a few months ago and all I could think was how big Mitchell's head was.
Very surprised to see you upload a video about this series but I'm genuinely happy you did! I absolutely love both of these games.
Dude this game was elite back in the day. Genuinely impressive what they did on the hardware.
One of this game's sequels (Gangs of London) was later adapted into a TV show produced by Gareth Evans, the guy who directed The Raid 1 and 2. Wildly violent stuff.
Made by Brendan McNamara, the guy behind LA Noire, another technical miracle ahead of its time, featuring highly detailed, but devoid of activities recreation of a large city, a huge leap in actor scanning and motion capture for gaming, attention to detail and serious atmosphere, realistic, immersive gameplay and relative lack of humor. There is very little known about the man, and his career seems to have halted since then. 😟
According to some developers of Team Bondi, he's an asshole to work with. That's mostly the reason why LA Noire was dropped by Sony and bought by Rockstar. The team was bleeding talent like crazy and R* basically finalized the whole thing by bringing in their devs and managers and sidelining McNamara.
Apparently his latest project was a sort of sequel of LA Noire called "Wh*re of the Orient" set in 1930s Shanghai and published by WB Games. The project got cancelled from what I've heard.
He founded Videogames Deluxe, who made the VR LA Noire game and the updated version of GTA Definitive Edition. They’re 4 years into developing an open world game for Rockstar as well.
@@Erone Cancelled because it would offend snowflakes.
A technical marvel and a violently mediocre game.
@@Erone any game director must be an asshole of sorts, at least partially
17:28 - if you think this is busy traffic in London, then you don't know London. When I first started watching this video my first thought was " ah I wish the roads were that empty in London!"
This game was very good. The fact that you're able to play it from both perspectives was an easy sell.
When I was first playing it I had no idea you'd play as the police officer. Was a fantastic surprise
Same here. I had no idea the game had two campaigns with two different characters. When i saw we could play as the cop i thought it was gonna be just a mission or two, but it was a full campaign.
4:55 that zoom in made me spit out my coffee laughing and idk why
9:57 😂😂😂😂
Nah really tho!! Because why you zoom in on his ass out of all people!? 😂😂😂
The trailer for the cancelled 3rd game looks incredible.
Oh don’t remind me ;-;
Brings me back to my folks basement. The smells, the game, the times. Such a good game and bringing back forgotten memories. 😊😊
good old times
I still have my PS2 and all the games I collected to play on it. It's hooked up along with my other systems. One of my favorite games on PS2 is 'Cold Winter', an FPS but as a lone infiltrator on a mission to take down a 'Deep State' organization, like the 'Enclave', but late-90's Cold War think. It's a really fun and interesting game, with excellent graphics, realistic guns, and good sound. I'm surprised it isn't better known as I've never seen it reviewed.
Yeah, back in that era I was playing every FPS I could get my hands on and that one stood out to me as well.
@@SnakeMyshkin Cool! You remember it. I was into 'BLACK' as well. That was a great FPS. I even had to copy the DVD because I wore out the original. The spindle hole started cracking away.
I remember playing it on my PS2 and thinking it was the most realistic looking game I've ever seen 😮 funny how times change and graphics always improve 😂 I will never forget the getaway
I remember playing Final Fantasy 8 for the first time as a kid, and seeing the FMV for the first time, and I thought it was barely distinguishable from real life 😄 A few years later, I didn't think it could get much more realistic that MGS2. Man have things changed
I remember reviewers losing their minds over the lack of hud - they weren’t ready for this! It was a bit wonky in places, but so immersive
Also the secret regen health if you lean against a wall
This game feels like those british gangster movies from the 90s. The ones directed by Guy Ritchie.
The thing that I will always remember about this game was that British Telecom threatened to sue the developer for using its logo on the side of a van in the pre-release demo. Normally I wouldn't have much sympathy for a corporation crying over product placement, but said van was being used in an assassination mission so perhaps they had a point.
Yet I'm sure they wouldn't mind it in a movie. Violent movie good, violent videogame bad. I still have no sympathy for them.
It’s actually in v1 release of the game, my disk copy has a BT van when you infiltrate the police station. It was removed from future releases.
@@MeadeJ67 Proof?
I think it's also because you go into a police station dressed a telecoms engineer and then murder a copper (Detective). I think that probably had more to do with it.
The Getaway is still one of my favorite games on the PS2. I love the dual wielding gunplay and how each section of the game ramps up in difficulty. A few things I thought it might be worth mentioning.
When an enemy hits the back end of your car from the side (the standard PIT Manuever law enforcement uses) and it damages your indicator lights, you're forced to get a new car as well. This makes car sequences even more annoying.
You're only allowed to do the "lean on the wall to heal" thing so many times per section in both games. If you keep trying after, your character will shake their head and stand up like normal.
The enemies in the long coats are wearing body armor. You have to free aim to shoot them in the head or else they are bullet sponges.
Because the game famously doesn't tell you anything about how to play it, these things had to be discovered through gameplay.
Was far too young to be playing this game when I was 9, I didn’t know that the indicator on the cars directed you to your missions and had to get my big sister to help me on the very first mission 😂 wish there were more gritty, violent and realistic games like this now. Sunk so many hours into these games. I’m originally from Scotland and moved to London when I was 17 the map is so accurate it is unbelievable. Way ahead of its time
Pcsx2 really makes these getaway games shine.
It's wild how in that first game's clips there's almost no textures and very simple environmental design... barely above a PS1, and in just a few years time we're getting insane detail and depth... the early 2000s were definitely a time of very fast improvements in tech and graphics.
The mission where you dress up and take a cop van / car is a great one
Forgot to mention that Don Kembry (Mark Hammond) made the TINIEST cameo appearance in L.A. Noire.
He plays a boxer who's last name is also Hammond.
I got the BIGGEST dopamine rush when I saw his face and ESPECIALLY when I heard his voice 🥹🥹🥹🥹
By far one of my favorite games of that generation. But also the most frustrating game ever. Not being able to pan the camera around was the biggest gripe I had about it next to the bullet sponge enemies. But the driving wasn't too bad and the fact that everything was set in a realistic setting made it more immersive to me at the time. Yeah, it's a little like GTA but it's its own identity at the same time. The story of the game I did like and how both Hammond and Carter have a similar goal. I feel like the short comings that were in this game they sort of fixed in the second one. It took me a few years to finish the first game. I remember just getting so frustrated with it, it collected dust on my shelf when I was playing other games like Vice City and San Andreas. I think it's one of those games that is much more appreciated with age.
One of my all time favorites, I've been hoping for a re release for many years but it probably wont happen.
Using the turn signal as a waypoint is a genius mechanic. Its wild no other game attempted something similar
Those are some damn impressive visuals for a PS2 Open World game
The image of the rear end of that Vectra with the flashing blue tail lights is etched into my soul. The cars looked so accurate to the real things in this game.
It may not have gotten the recognition it deserved, but it definitely seemed to help the genre going forward.
I loved how realistic this game was back in the day. No HUD done very well. The turn signals acting as your GPS.. the blood soaked clothing representing your HP.. and the wall leaning, yeah. 20 seconds is nothing imo but I can see how some would be annoyed with that. It enhances immersion for me.
Today we were talking about classic games at my school's lunchtime games club. I brought up The Getaway which not one of the kids - and some staff had ever heard of! We found the game in youtube and after 5 minutes the boys aged 14-15 were screaming for more😂. They absolutely loved it. It took me back to when my older 2 kids were younger and I had to play it if they were in bed or not around 😂. I have to say this has to be my all time favourite game on my all time favourite PlayStation console. I had them all 1 to 5 but PS2 was my favourite. If there was any way to get The Getaway for the PS5 I am here for it,the original game not a reboot. A true classic!👏🏿👏🏿
The Getaway is an amazing piece of retro gaming (crazy to say it's retro but that's a fact). When I first played it I was 10 or 11 and it was a collision with a concrete wall compared to how simple and breeze GTA games are. No HUD, no map (only paper print) no hints, tutorial, nothing at all. You're just being thrown into the water and you gotta figure out how to swim yourself. Shame the driving physics was a bit funky but aside from that the game was amazing regardless. I decided to play it again couple of months ago on PS2 slim and it's still kicking my ass. It's difficult but gives a lot of joy. Shame they didn't decide to release third game, we only saw trailers. Rumors say Playstation Home was launched instead on the foundations of what was supposed to be the PS3 release of the new Getaway title.
that art museum mission was so awesome and surreal. they did such a good job with this game i often wonder why it isnt talked about as much. the realism of the gun battles and the driving, real model cars, cinematography .. honestly the game was almost flawless.
There was actually a third game in the franchise, „gangs of London“ for the psp. But it has different gameplay and no cinematic story
The Getaway Black Monday was my favorite game on the PS2, even though I liked the first installment despite its issues. Both games have an incredible action-packed gangster story inspired by the British crime movies like Snatch and Get Carter. My only regret is that Sony never gave another chance to London Studio to make The Getaway 3 and Eight Days which were some of the games I anticipated for the PS3.
Alas, London Studio has closed this year and I don't think Sony will make a remake of The Getaway, which is disappointing because there are a lot of PlayStation licences that need to be experienced again like Sly Cooper and Syphon Filter.
The most underrated game on the ps2 for me is Urban reign such fantastic game
i honestly had no idea you gained health by resting on a wall. No wonder I found this game to be so hard
I'm pretty sure it's tradition for everybody in the UK who grew up in the 2000s to have this and black Monday.
definitely a Hidden gem internationally and I would love a remaster or a remake to come out now although given some of the themes I don't think they would
There's nothing wrong with any of the themes if you're a well-adjusted adult. We just need to stop listening to people who are chronically online complaining about everything. Things shouldn't have to be dumbed down & censored for an overly vocal minority of people.
I’m so glad you finally covered this game. Huge in my childhood
I remember playing this, ever time your dude started shooting at someone he would say, "ave some of dat" in a British accent over and over. It's still burned in my brain. Like Nam 67 and the Vietcong dudes saying, "Ima get you GI" in the most comical accent. Games from this era had the worst/best overused voice lines.
You couldn't move the camera but you could use the right analogue stick as accelerator and brake. Which was actually gradual unlike any other game I can think of at the time. Even racing games had the throttle as an on/off button. I spent hours driving around on number 1 and 2 loved this game
When you said you recover health by leaning against a wall, I thought you meant in a cool, “having a smoke break” way. Didn’t expect him doubled over on the wall fighting off a heart attack
This game was great , being from Ireland it was a great treat to drive European cars that I see every day in a video game , and the streets of London, Cop cars, cars, the road signs and buildings and interiors are very similar to cities in Ireland like Dublin , We may never get GTA Ireland but this was close enough
This needs a ps5 remaster
Exactly Tony if i was in the money this is what I'd create easy. Why they ain't i don't know.
I was so hyped for The Getaway 3 (and Eight Days) that they were one of the primary reasons I even got my PS3 in 2008. Then both wound up getting canceled. You can still find some of the trailers on youtube. They made a VR game that was kinda sorta vaguely Getaway adjacent iirc, but not really a Getaway game.
Man I would love to see Gman review the Fatal Frame series.
I have a friend who's Dad worked for Sony at the time, I think he was the Art director for them both. I distinctly remember seeing the framed platinum Discs in his office.
You missed Part 3 that can be played... if you know where ... the PSP game "Gangs of London (2006)" , the two PS4 PSVR games "London Heist"(2016) "Blood & Truth"(2019) ...
I can confirm that Blood & Truth is phenomenal.

I mean not all British convicted criminals became Australians though.
@@vladv5126 Nobody said that they did.
I loved that I got to play this and Black Monday. Lol. Ahead of it's time is right.
This game doesn’t need a remaster it needs a majestic remake, one of the most underrated games back in the day for sure a game well a head of its time, you comparing gta 4 to this game says it all.
This game still holds a special place in my heart, i knew back then it was something special and over looked even back then
It’s amazing what they did with 480p and 16:9 and the Emotion engine. Now we’ve got 2160p, HDR10 and 120hz VRR displays being ran by GPUs that have more RAM than the PS2+PS3+360 combined and it’s an event when we get a halfway decent game from a AAA developer 😂. They missed a golden opportunity to include all the garbage cars British Leyland made and all the “Zombie knives” the BBC is always fear mongering about. It would have been cool if the Luty was an unlockable SMG.
The gateway is only half way decent tho.
I'm still annoyed Ford told the Devs to remove their cars. I wanted to ride around in a Capri so bad.
Growing up in London it really was remarkable how accurate the map was in a lot of places. You could almost get to where I grew up and the church in the far bottom right of the map is the one my parents got married in. It's almost frustrating how close ti my old house the map gets in that area!
I tried playing it on emulation a few months ago and although it didn't work well (some kind of fog issue), it's still fun driving around a London that doesn't exist anymore as so much of it has changed in the years since it's release.
Loved The Getaway, I would spend days driving around following Traffic Laws and enjoying sight seeing. Live 20 miles from London but had never been at that time.
I still remember where the secret cars are stored in that country house, wow the memories.
Great video. I had The Getaway but I was so young. It was amazing seeing licensed cars in an open world shoot ‘em up game like this! For me it was a big standout, I enjoyed free roaming and the car selection a load! Like getting the rare Skyline from the mansion near Buckingham Palace
Dude, this is the exact kinda stuff that makes your channel so fun. I've never heard of this before. I definitely want to play this now!
26:25 hahaha me and my cousin used to crack jokes the whole time we played as that guy 😂 great video bro forgot all about these gems
What a blast from the past! I remember playing this when it was released and was blown away by the graphics lol I remember it being really bloody hard! But I was a kid back then
As a Londoner of 37yrs, this game was the GTA renovation that I needed!! My big bro and I loved this game back then. It got me to stop playing Jak & Daxter and Freedom Fighters.
It's so dope driving around you places you recognise in a game world and I'm quite shocked there aren't More London open-world games like it.
GTA just keeps spamming Miami, NY & LA but London would be a dope city if fully mapped out similar to NY in PS4 Spider-Man.
The biggest thing that shocked me with the game was how accurate the city layout was but also all of the licensed assets!
My God, finally someone did a good, long and very well explaining video about my beloved Getaway. The Getaway Black Monday is my whole childhood, I played like 10 hours a day until I remembered every corner of London :)
This game was incredible. I was a little too young to fully play it through and appreciate the story. I always remember trying to find the Lancia Delta
You had me at "Bloodstained Breadcrumbs".... another Gman banger here! I was the only one out of all of my friends when I was growing up that played these. It's a good/bad hidden gem series that needs remakes. Hell I'd be happy with a port. Thanks for reviewing them. Awesome video!!!
I always loved how the cars blinkers told you were the next mission was.. Ahead of its time. We need a remaster!
All i wanted was the AHHHGGGG after Suze gets clipped but you clipped that instead! :'( Marks scream in the beginning and the chase that follows really made that game memerable and one of the most intense story games I had ever seen yet at that age. So glad you did this one GMAN TULES!!!
Favourite thing for me about this game as a kid was that every single car is a real car. I was a car kid and just loved that they were all real life cars that I saw everyday.
Had completely forgotten about this . I loved playing this, thank you
This game inspired my love for the Toyota MR2. I am an emigrant from Northern Ireland to the United States. I played the game to feel a bit of home. I bought a MR2 a couple years ago because of this game.
