To change the view when driving in The Getaway to the bonnet cam. It makes a huge difference imo. It drives much better and the sense of speed is up there with Burnout 2 it\'s awesome trying to avoid all the traffic and I don\'t know why but the game also looks better, anyway give it a try and see what you think.

Quote
a: Unlock free roaming mode
b: Start driving the MZ2 and from the starting position...

turn 1st left (Berwick street)
turn 1st right (Oxford Street)
At the big cross (the one with the CentrePoint , Charing Cross Rd ) ...
Turn right !
and then crash ... against the pink door in one of the first buildings at the left (The pink shop with "CAFE" logo) . Remember .. crash the front of the car against the pink DOOR

If you managed to do that really quickly ....
... get out of the car
... get in the car again...

and VOILA !!!! 1st person camera plus UNDESTRUCTABLE car !!!


You have to drive really fast .. .and NOT to crash against anything .. in order to crash against the door on time (dont know the time limit .. but really tight !!!)


Screenshots of bonnet cam.

;) Nice one, nice... But eh aside from that, Imo that freeroaming mode stinks becuz it\'s anything but freeroaming. Even if you don\'t have the pistol drawn ppl on the street will act if that were so ( silly programming ) so you\'re more like a fugitive than a freeroamer. I really felt sorry for Mark becuz he was chased by police all the time by the police, and he ain\'t even free in freeroaming mode. I tried to get him home, you know the appartment where the game starts, but it was locked. How sour is that ? They should have programmed freeroaming mode as if it were before all the events of the actual game.

I haven\'t played this game for ages, once I completed it and found all the hidden cars it lost it\'s appeal. I find Vice city a much more fulfilling game.

Well, the game was meant to be movie-like and plot driven, so it gets to be a bit of a one time affair. Anyway, for the time it lasted it was very good. Wonder what the add on missions will be like :bounce:
