The Getaway: Black Monday

[Iceman82]

Has anyone played or got this? I hired it last night and found it better than the original. Anyone have any views on it? Think it may be worth a purchase insetead of "Ned" for Speed!!

[forever_driving]

I love it, but then again, I bias for a reason

[Iceman82]

Ah just worked out why you are biased!!! Congrats. brilliant game, decided to buy this lunchtime anyway!

Other people weren't that impressed.

That score is based on 4 reviews which range from 80% to 50%. To me that makes the "65%" score irrelevant. There are othre reviews there ranging from 40% to 98% - you can't base a decision on an averaged score when it's as wide ranged as that...

The game is distinctly average at best, i'm afraid.

Well, perhaps you can tell me how to get 'Sam' past the stealth mission in chapter 15 then. I got f**ked off after 10 attempts - not even the bespectacled kids from next door could do it. Why couldn't she just have had a gun??!

And, while I'm bitching, you didn't include my block of flats - I drove around the back n'all but it's not there. Where's the accuracy I ask you Or perhaps you know something I don't...

[forever_driving]

Can't remember off hand, so I'll dust the game down tomorrow and have a look at that level for you (the level isn't one I've mine so I don't know it too well)

I remember, there is a level where you get to a point that seems like a dead end, and you have to crawl under a desk to access the next part of the room.

[stumartin]

A desk eh..? I seem to be stuck outside what looks like a staff room on the second floor of the office block hunting down a laptop. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to go but into this room, but when I do lots of burly chaps run and shoot me, and then give me a good kicking. Hence my want for some sort of gun


p.s, cheers for dusting off your copy. I can imagine you must get plagued by requests from dim-witted ejuts such as myself - hopefully it won't spoil your elevenses too much

Slightly o/t but well done for including so many good cars, the Sagaris and Cerbera in particular!

[dr_evil65]

Great game...just a bit too easy.

Completed it in 8 hours...how sad is that!!

Do I win a prize?!

Finally managed to finish this bas***d of a chapter, I really don't like stealth missions anyway but the lack of a gun made this one suck big time.

These walkthroughs for cp15 may help a little:
