Getaway wikipedia game

It is a follow-up to The Getaway. There are about playable vehicles. Health is restored by leaning against a wall or using a first aid kit on a wall. Vehicle damage is represented by smoke and reduced performance.

Each main playable character has unique abilities. Sergeant Mitchell, can use gas grenades to subdue enemies less lethally and can also arrest enemies.

Sam Thompson has no combat ability but has the ability to climb and crawl in order to avoid enemy detection. In the American version of the game, there are two extra vehicles. Those vehicles are a generic orange sports car and a New York City taxi. The taxi is a current generation Ford Crown Victoria. The game begins with a flashback sequence where Ben Mitchell , a police sergeant, is chasing down an armed teenager. Mitch orders him to the floor and the teen stops running.

He aims for Mitch and then attempts to escape, earning a shot in his back. One year later, Mitch is on his first day back on the team. The team heads towards an East London housing estate where they believe the Collin's Crew is storing drugs in a flat. The team breaks into the flat, but finds it empty with only two Collins members , but officer Jack Harvey and another SO19 officer find a door that leads to the flat next door, and find tons of drugs.

They soon chase them down in the apartment complex and PC Harvey is injured in the leg. Mitch single-handedly hunts down the remaining suspects who take a woman hostage in the roof. Back at the station, Mitch is taunted about the teenager incident by his colleague Paul Evans. Mitch almost loses his temper when inspector Munroe informs them of a shooting at a boxing club in Shoreditch.

After arriving at the scene, Mitch chases Jimmer Collins who manages to escape. Munroe suspects a Latvian Gang is responsible and assigns Mitch and Stoppard to join a unit of SO19 who are preparing to raid a scrapyard in Lambeth to detain the suspect, Levi Stratov.

Levi is immediately bailed out and leads Mitch to Jackie Philips. She informs them of a deal going down at Holborn tube station on platform 4. The police try and arrest the dealer, Tyler , but he escapes and is arrested afterwards. Jackie gives a phone call saying she knows the leader and the phone goes dead. When they arrive a man shoots Munroe and leaves him in a room that explodes and kills himself.

Jackie left a note saying Viktor Skobel while the police know a gun trade is going down. Mitch beats the trader and extracts the info. It leads him to a warehouse. Eddie is caught and captured but escapes thanks to Sam rescuing him. They driver to a snooker hall where they find John dead and retrieve the stolen icon.

They return to the boxing club and see Mitch enter. Sam sneaks in and sees Danny and Sleeves dead as well as Liam Spencer from the first game. Sam left a laptop at the bank and wants to return. If Eddie says yes, they shoot their ways in, if no, Eddie leaves her and she sneaks in. She retrieves the laptop. If Eddie escorts her she doesn't get caught but if he doesn't then she gets caught. He follows Yuri who goes to meet with Viktor Skobel.

Eddie is ambushed by Nadya who has Jackie hostage. Sergeant Mitch raids the warehouse this is where his story ended off and Eddie kills Yuri and escapes.

He chases Viktor to his house where he kills Nadya, and if the player chooses to, Zara. If Sam hasn't been captured, she sneaks into Alexei's car. Eddie chases him to his boat and kills Alexei. Then Viktor appears, pointing a harpoon gun at Sam if she was captured. If she wasn't, then it is pointed at Eddie. If Sam isn't captured, then she damages a machine down below, presumably an engine.

If she was captured, Eddie grabs a hold of the harpoon gun and it accidently fires and shoots the driver. The boat crashes. Sergeant Mitch arrives and tells Eddie to freeze. If not Mitch is angry and gets hit by Eddie.

There is a fight in which Sergeant Mitch dies. Eddie regrets it but he had no choice. If Sam wasn't captured, she waits at the dock. If she was, Viktor throws Sam off a railing and she dies. Eddie kills Viktor, breaking the icon, revealing there were diamonds in it. If Mitch is still alive, he takes Eddie's guns and takes the blame for the shoot out.

The last scene shows the police outside. If both are alive, then Mitch is seen giving a blanket to Sam. The game is set in London and concerns the lives of three playable characters - a policeman, a boxer and a scam artist — with different abilities.

For example, Sam can crawl on ceiling vents, but cannot engage in hand-to-hand combat. Mitch has the ability to arrest enemies and has the police on his side. Eddie has the ability to engage in hand to hand combat and can also pick up any weapons from the ground. Quiet yet dangerous, Mitch has been accused of being trigger-happy.

As an operative in the Organised Crime Squad of the Metropolitan Police, his sudden mood swings and foreboding silences may unnerve his colleagues, but his commanding officer, Inspector Munroe, respects and trusts his methods of operation. Athletic, powerful, short tempered, and focused on the job in hand, his army training has prepared him for policing the city's streets. To Mitch, an order is an order, but sometimes his own judgment takes control.

If you chose to let Jackie fall to her death in the mission " Your Man with the Tattoo " you will have to kill Mitch in the game finale as Eddie O'Connor. Mitch appears to have had a hard life growing up. But he mentions in some words "I've got bad memories, some parts of my life are complete blackout" explains that he might be suffering from amnesia. He has an S22 gas powered propellant gun in Free Roaming. Voiced by Bob Cryer. Uncomplicated and down-to-earth, with Eddie, what you see is what you get.

The violence in the game is frequent and strong as many people are shot dead with bloody results as well as several torture scenes.

The language is strong throughout as every character swears and there are even some racist terms used by members of the Bethnal Green Mob. There is some nudity in the cutscenes involving the strip club Touch of Class where a lap dancer has her breasts exposed.

There are occasional references to drugs such as cocaine and heroin and cannabis plants are explicitly shown in a house operated by the Yardies. All these actions as well as the glamorization of criminal and dangerous activities was enough to have the game rated 18 in the UK.

This means that only adults should play this game and not children. Then, Mark went on a rampage through a police station to assassinate a corrupt officer. BT were offended with this as they did not want their name and livery associated with the violent scenes in the game.

In addition, BT were also concerned for the safety of their employees as they believed the game might incite attacks on their employees. Subsequently, an edited version of the game was released in the UK in January
