The Getaway vs True Crime: Streets of LA

Set in a meticulously recreated London, The Getaway lets players dive into a world inspired by classic British gangland films like Get Carter and Snatch. Experience high‑octane car chases, intense gunfights, and a story that unfolds across the city’s iconic streets.

True Crime: Streets of LA drops you into a sprawling recreation of Los Angeles, where you play as a police officer navigating a web of criminal activity. The game blends driving, shooting, and hand‑to‑hand combat in a mission‑driven narrative that evolves through cutscenes and branching paths. The open‑world sandbox lets you explore iconic neighborhoods, hijack vehicles, and pursue suspects across a dynamic cityscape, delivering a cinematic crime‑fighting experience reminiscent of early 2000s action titles.
