‘The Getaway: Black Monday’
[PS2] [SPAIN] [MAGAZINE] [2004]

If Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino collaborated on a crime film, only to realize that they hated each other’s guts halfway through filming and wanted nothing more than to sabotage the project, a cinematic failure along the lines of The Getaway: Black Monday would likely be the result. Amid hardhearted action sequences and vulgar cockney dialogue, the plot unfolds through flashbacks, flashforwards, blurring time periods, and maybe even some wormhole-related anomalies. I applaud Team Soho’s grand scope and attempt to bring ambitious storytelling to the video game front. With beautifully animated and well-acted sequences fueling every second of the story, it definitely feels like an interactive motion picture. Sadly, it’s also a bit hard to follow, and not nearly as gripping as Charlie Jolson’s twisted mind games from the original entry in the series. ~Andrew Reiner(?), Game Informer
