Getaway Editor's Review

Getaway is a freeware driving and action game which has an interesting concept behind it. Getaway comes with the premise that you are part of a heist team that robs a number of banks, and you are the getaway driver (which is where the name of the game comes from) and must get the stolen money to a safe point without being arrested. This idea alone is interesting enough to hold interest, but does the game execute on it correctly?

The game play of getaway is split into two sections. First of all, you are placed at a random point inside the games fairly large city, which has a variety of sections which range from high rises to an oil plant. Once you have been placed, a few seconds later a building will be marked with a large arrow and you must head towards it, as this is where the heist will take place. Once you reach the building, the money is loaded into your van and the police will be on to you. At this point you have to go to a second designated building which is the safe building, and must be driven inside to end the heist and collect the cash.

The difficulty level of getaway is simply put; very very easy. Why is this? The base game play is very simple to understand, driving to the heist, waiting a few second then driving back. The police will try to stop you on the way back, but can only do so by damaging you, which they do very minimally (you can take around 10 crashes before failing). You might think this gets more difficult as you perform more heists and more police come after you, but in reality with the exception of bridges it is not. This makes how long you can last more of an endurance thing than a challenge, and the game definitely suffers for it.

The controls of getaway are somewhat simple to understand. The up and down arrow key control acceleration and deceleration, and left and right will turn you in those directions (this control scheme works well enough for a top down driving game). However the big flaw with the controls is their unresponsiveness, although the acceleration always seems to be working, trying to steer while doing it is a matter of chance, which is something a game trying to base itself around skill should never include, especially in the control scheme.

The presentation of getaway is another weak area, as the game looks acceptable for a top down driving game (and even impressive in a few areas) but suffers from regular slow down even on the best of machines, as well as having horrible audio issues. This is because the ambient noises (traffic going past, and your engine) are extremely loud and any other noises are not, meaning you can either play the game without sound or with horribly balanced sound, which is a horrible decision to have to make. Overall, although there is a glimmer of a good game in getaway, the variety of issues with it make it a pretty awful experience.

1/5
