Ok, they\'ve written a nice review, but the 74 score is really too low imho. The directional indicators on the car, the lack of hud
health meter..... it\'s all more a matter of taste i think. Becuz one
really picks up the \'hints\' the game is giving the player about
the \'health status\' for example. Ok, so PlanetPs2 nags about the
cam in on-foot action ; just tap L2 and quickly the cam alligns to
Mark\'s line of sight again. This works similair like to Silent Hill2.
Then there\'s the auto aim. Just tap the L1 button as fast if you
can in a heavy firefight. That\'s the perfect way to take out alot
of targets quickly. The only problem I encountered with it is when Mark is exactly in between two opponents. If you hold down auto
aim the system can\'t really decide to take out which one. My advice is ; take one of \'em out manually aimed, then the other.
If you\'ve held auto aim down, the system wouldn\'t have decided between the 2baddies quickly enough and by that time you would\'ve taken multiple bullets. And the game is not anymore twitchy than any other good game. I remember bumping into obstacles more in MGS2 with Raiden than here in The Getaway with Mark Hammond. But like I said earlier, I rate the game 85. Hehe, but maybe that\'s also a bit becuz London charmed me alot when I was there on vacation a few years ago.

I prefer to just hit the R1 button whenever you enter a new room.  If any baddies are there, BOOM, it locks on.

I\'ve read numerous reviews stating that the autoaim system is inconsistant, when I find it works perfectly, 100% of the time..

Triad guards. They\'re really funny. :laughing: I won\'t spoil to much though if you haven\'t reached that level yet becuz it\'s packed with humurous stuff. Oi ! \'Ave some of that, I\'d say...

Is that the 3rd mission? I have finally just got past the one where you have to torch the restaurant.

Are there no online maps that you can copy and print out for the game?

There is a map here that I printed out. It has the hidden cars marked on it too, so don\'t use it if you don\'t want to know where they are!

I\'ve already prepayed. I like a good story line. i guess I like the leaner(sp) games more then the open ended one\'s. I just hope the story line is as good as some have said.

oh man that sounds crap. how about the free roam mode? does that have realistic time? also what exactly can you do in free roam? just drive around aimlessly and get lost? are there any mini missions or anything at all?
 man this game is sounding worse and worse. i think i\'m just going to rent it now.

You can:

1)  Drive around
2)  Kill people
3)  Find the secret cars

I love this game :D
