The Getaway: Black Monday ( German Escape: Black Monday ) is a third-person shooter that was released in 2004 by Sony for the PlayStation 2 . The video game is the sequel to The Getaway (2002).
action
As in The Getaway, the action takes place in the British capital - metropolis London , in 2004. Important people are Eddie O'Connor, a well-known boxer , Sergeant Ben "Mitch" Mitchell, a recently reinstated police officer and Sam Thompson, an IT -Specialist. After a failed bank robbery, the victims seek revenge on the guilty party by killing anyone who stands in their way.
The weapon selection and the melee system have been significantly improved compared to the first part of the game series. There are around 130 licensed vehicles that the player can drive. The developers have also improved the damage model of the vehicles. The US version of the game also includes two bonus vehicles. These are a sports car and a New York taxi. In contrast to its predecessor, the game has an overview map , but HUD displays are again completely dispensed with. The reason for this was still the aspect of making the game as realistic as possible.
