I visited Sony today, to see the sequel to the Getaway. Called Black Monday, the title uses the same unique London environment as before, but this time the game on top seems a lot better. I persevered with the original, despite the dicky controls, as there were some inspirational touches in it. The plot, for a start, and the fact that sightseeing in a stolen police car round took a while to get tedious. But with the likes of GTA: San Andreas on the way, Black Monday has some heavyweight competition. Luckily then the controls and feel of the game have been improved considerably. Driving is more enjoyable, while the main problem with the original – the on-foot action – seems more varied and less frustrating. The cut-scenes are super professional too, and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in come November. Anyone else excited about Getaway?
