The Getaway was an ambitious PlayStation 2 Grand Theft Auto clone from the Sony-backed Team Soho development team.
Although it had many flaws - including clunky shooting mechanics - The Getaway stood out from the open-world crowd thanks to its wide array of licenced cars. It included everything from Vauxhall Vectras to Citroen Saxos, making it an authentic driving experience for any British motorist.
The game also featured a realistic partial re-creation of London, displaying iconic buildings and monuments like Buckingham Palace and the London Eye in all their glory, pitched within a Guy Ritchie-inspired plot and its cast of stereotypical cockney gangsters.
More than twenty years on from its release, we examine the unique way The Getaway implemented licenced cars into its game world, and how its eclectic vehicle roster will probably never be seen again outside of the modding scene.
