... or does The Getaway on PS2 suck a*se?

I bought the game on the release date and have been playing since and the whole thing is infuriating.

OK its Lock Stock-esque plot and script are very cool, but the game is actually tripe.

So far I have had to deal with a very very shaky control system and aiming system. The camera is appaling constantly flicking from one view to another. And worst of all the game constantly fails to render backgrounds and other scenery.

This just makes for a massive disapoinment because I was really looking forward to the release of this game and now feel like it could be the worst game I've ever played.

Rushed out for Christmas before its ready??

Just had another go and I still feel the same.

Unfortunatley it seems as if I am not alone. Have a look at the forums on uk.playstation.com and theres more people saying the same.

Don't want to put you off, buy it and see for yourself if you want, but may I suggest you rent it before you buy it. Wish I had

The graphics issue will be the PS2's hardware not up to rendering decent 3d. Wait for the PC release and run it on some 'decent' hardware

Thumbs down

Oh dear, so the demo was basically the same quality as the game..
The graphics were good, but the control mechanism sucks big time.
