Sony Europe and Team Soho announced that they will make an expansion pack with extra missons for The Getaway. And they're also planning The Getaway 2.
You can read the artice at www.computerandvideogames.com
They also have an interview with the developers!

Anyway, I really am looking forward to the Getaway. I think it will be a great game. Not only the graphics, but the story and the characters too. It seems they have put ALOT of work (& money) into it.

What do you guys think about it?

People who had a chance to play Getaway have uniformly been completely disappointed by it. Things they said:

- Sluggish and slow gameplay (feels like a cabby simulator more than an action game)
- Terrible controls while on foot
- Graphics not nearly as good as you'd expect from those screens
- Terrible framerate.

It can be played in some booths in the London, not sure where.

Ehm... ok, but What do YOU think about it?

Havent't played it. People who said that stuff have been very trustworthy so if they quantitized problems like that, I tend to believe it's true.

I will try it when it comes out, at least for the novelty value :)
