GTA IV gave me strong Black Monday vibes. The interconnecting stories, the dark gritty atmosphere. This song literally popped into my head playing it one day.
What you won't really see in any American gangster like games is the atmosphere of a beautiful and at the same time notorious city. This soundtrack finishes the dark side of London with an abolutely epic soundtrack
Not just that but in American gangster games you don't get the grime and nastiness festering under the iconic urban sprawl. This is what makes The Getaway so damn good-it's not afraid to go dark and sinister and it's got a very one-of-a-kind London pang to it.
it would work extremely well, especially with Gareth Evan's direction since he made a series that is an adaptation of The Getaway's PSP spinoff Gangs of London.
I love this theme... Absolutely love it... I remember not even playing the game for awhile just because I just wanted to listen to the theme... Great memories.....
+Dwayne Davis for some reason the music and the game itself went well together, even the the games a little dated, the music is still awesome...they need to make getaway 3.
To everyone saying the composer is "Ninja Tunes", good lord no, that's just the label (they have some awesome affiliated artists, it's one of my favourite labels, and in "electronica" it's definitely my favourite one) The guy behind this is a Brazilian gent called Amon Tobin. His works are FANTASTIC. He already has over 6 albums since he began in the 90's and I don't know which one is my favourite. All his stuff is usually dark (like this), but he has a bit of everything.
It almost happened and maybe it will.I red somewhere that they doing Getaway 3 for PS3 but then came out PS4 and their stopped their project.Maybe they can sometime continue with it .. i wish
Sam Thompson: “(Sighs), hea’ll saye meh; gah geyt ahp’” Eddie O’Connor: Upon commandeering a police van and discovering a pistol and then pulling the slide back: chh-gah “Noice won.” Sergeant Ben Mitchell, after apprehending and incapacitating a suspect: “Tha tahget is sehcure.” (Ransacking sounds) “Gah, they’re all ova tha ploice! Thye jahst tuk Tylah!” Sergeant Mitchell, pursuing another guy in the introductory cutscene: “Stahp ore all sheoot (ore all sheoot)! Don’t due eyt! Poot tha gyun down!” Such nostalgia and with all due respect, I am making a valiant effort to spell out the accent. It was very cool to hear that accent for the first time in a video game, the first exposure to it for myself being Judi Dench’s depiction of MI6 in 007: Agent Under Fire. Have nice day. 🙂
Dude I’m Greek and even thought we had English lessons on school, when I heard that accent on the game, it was amazing! It was like I haven’t heard a British accent before.
This game still kicks arse the getaway and black Monday still is my all time favourite. Kids to day will not have this experience of opening this game when it come out and I’m glad I did at 10 years old for the first game and 13 years for the second game happy days 😁👍
Like I said in another vid, this game is so highly underestimated. Such an amazing piece of gaming art. I know that a new The Getaway title is highly unlikely to exist, but I hope that at least Sony releases an HD collection for the PS3. This game deserves it.
@@brandonmcduff Can't believe it's been 5 years since I made this comment. No, depended on the retailer, hell SNES cartridges ranged anywhere from like 50 to 100 bucks sometimes.
It's Crazy how the getaway games weren't more popular especially the music. I can't get over the size of Mtiches head in the game though it always seemed far too big 😂
Very nice game with very good looking graphics for its time. Lots of memories playing with it. Such an underappreciated game. Shame they deleted the third episode
I played the first one and thought it could have been a movie I loved the first one the music was awsome the reactions and everything was just perfect. I have not played the second one but I have watched my friend play a few levels and I will pick up a copy as soon as possible. I have my fingers crossed for a new one to come out please team soho give me more london gang and mobster games!!
there are lot of playable characters in the game but 3 are the protagonists.But ye 3 of them are playable during the story but others are available in free roam.
This track has been stuck in my head for 16 years....
Fr
I came back looking for it in 2024
And counting
like me bro it bring me back to my childhood so f amaizing
listening to this after so many years.. miss those days
Uros Miljkovic same

Totally get where ya comeing from mate 👍🏻👌
@@GENCHIKDAKOOLBOIRussians AND other Eastern Europeans. Coincidences are wild.
Such an underappreciated game...
Lucky us we found it :D
Dawid Swierczek i love it
What he said
Truly. I remember getting it back in 2005 ahh what a tumultuous time it was for a yung lad
This game deserved a sequel, remake and remaster
This sound takes me back
The getaway games were so advanced at the time amazing
Old memories
KAJbro not so old if you still have a ps2 bruh hahaha
There is some badman vehicles on this game. I use to find a 205gti and drive round like a dickhead but stopping for red lights, ha. (boring story).
mezalong what do you mean drving like a dickhead and stopping at the red lights?
@@TheFedeGamer99 what I meant, tard.
mezalong but i do not understand the sense
I still have getaway and getaway black Monday for my ps2 and I still play them. sony was ahead of their time when these games came out
***** theres no point its going to come am tellin u its just we have to deal with it ::((((((

The Soho group they were a talented team who worked on this game
No Ultimate Vel'Kozzz yeah the first ragdoll physics was of black monday
@@TheFedeGamer99 It's a great game, wasn't the first game to use or make ragdoll though. That would be Hitman Codename 47 as far as I know
One of the first songs I learned on the piano.
One of the best soundtracks ever, i'll aways remember the ps2 times...

Hazem Mohamed same, I don't know why but this theme always pops into my head.
+Pearl Necklace Yeah
Same here. That's why I'm looking it up now. allow these years later
@@cdycwl90 RIP Dave Legeno Eddie O Connor.
@@runjkix its so tight and atmospheric.
I wish the getaway had it's own show and this as the opening music and some stellar actors would be perfect
I feel the exact same lad
it would work extremely well, especially with Gareth Evan's direction since he made a series that is an adaptation of The Getaway's PSP spinoff Gangs of London.
I love this theme...
Absolutely love it...

Same man I used to roll my French tobacco listening to this
Same, damn, get immersed or what. Some crazy clan shit goin' on here XD
Dwayne Davis still do it
This game is way ahead of its time.
i love how the intro warns you that the game will be no joke
Thank you for making my childhood so great ,
I am so thankful.
We need to setup petitions to get this game remastered.

MigMike93 do you know what the song is called
I didn't realise this was Amon Tobin!
Nice one, I had no idea it was Amon Tobin.
He did Splinter Cell Chaos Theory too
this game is soo good. the story is 10/10. they have to make a movie on this. jason stathom would be perfect for ed
J Stone yeah
@@TheFedeGamer99 i wish we could make it happen
I'm already thinking of making a series out of it.
(No, I am not in films, yet)
HOLY SHIT YES! With Tom Hardy!
It would make a better Netflix or Prime series.
Used to sit at the main menu for the song it helped me was dealing with crazy shit as a kid
Come here every now and again
In london today 😂 had to to listen to this classic soutrack At least once
When I play this beautiful game I always let the music finish before starting a new game.
Me to
I'd play this over GTA any day
No cap
Only PS2 players know about this game. 💯
Definitely
I miss them days 😢
Miss this game

I'm from Saudi Arabia and this game is big part of my childhood I remember playing for hours and hours and it a reason how I learnd English

Same here
One of the best, rawest soundtracks. Both of the Getaways had fantastic sound design full stop.✋
I had this game when I was like 4 or 5 or 6 on my og PlayStation 2
Sam Thompson: “(Sighs), hea’ll saye meh; gah geyt ahp’”

MY CHILDHOOD
I swear to god this intro is amazing. It's better than every GTA theme.
12-year-old me thought this game was dark as fuck. Hell, 23-year-old me still does.
Before the likes of COD and GTA the 1st game and this one for me was #1 and still is and if you know then you know.....
Still waiting for the PS3 launch title we never got.
To this day I come back for the theme
Person who liked this comment..your an OG
@@Pro-zn7lk dang again
hope see it on ps4
Teutowolf why? why didn't they do a remaster?
@@TheFedeGamer99 Licensed stuff around the game probably prevents them to.
Shame that a 3rd one was about to land on PS3 and never did, and seems it will never be.
Still the memories is in memories !
Cant feel that satisfaction again in life when this was precious in childhood !
Good times. Perfect game, perfect world, perfect actors, perfect atmosphere.😊❤❤
Besides the vivid memories this is such a good track!
this was one of the best games ive ever played, its flawless.
Superb game..played 1st edition. Did you know the scenery on game was actually photographed around London for the game?
This game still kicks arse the getaway and black Monday still is my all time favourite.
Kids to day will not have this experience of opening this game when it come out and I’m glad I did at 10 years old for the first game and 13 years for the second game happy days 😁👍
ahhh the story of the physco cop,insane taxi driver and crazy stealth woman
Wasn't him a boxer?
Crestom XYZ yes

PsNSnowtrooper007 really lol ty for the information never noticed that was him
PURE GOLD ! ❤️
Me and Friends use to play this game and the first one religiously…and as for the theme right here we would all freestyle for an hour straight!
This theme is cool, mysterious and action-y all at the same time.
i so miss this game i would love to play it again
AntonisDJ me too this was my shit

beautiful moments.....RIP to those years
I wish they made a remake of the game
Old school baby. ...love this game
Both games are amazing 🥵🥵 I really wished they could be remastered or would off Been amazing if a 3rd was out
BEAUTIFUL GAMES!!! So much of my childhood was spent on these games. So... damn... much.

Loveddddd this game it def has gta vibes i loved sam.....man bring these games to switch!!!!!!
I remember when this was 60 USD
Weren't ps2 games 49.99 usd though? I'm pretty sure they were. They didnt move to 59.99 until the ps3 era.

I remember back when my parents bought me this game over GTA San ANDREAS, thinking it was less violent. It wasn't. Lol.
Why hasn't both Getaway games got remakes yet?
@Tho wha- for real?
@Tho wha- you better not be shittin us
@Tho wha- you have source to back that claim up buddy?
first game to have 3 main playable characters in one game.

Damn you ps2 why did you break :(
Just get a another one...they're so cheap

@@emcdavee can't anymore stopped making em
Second hand....
Literally just go on any website like eBay or Amazon?
Amazing
We need games like this and the mafia remake, where it is an open world but mainly focused about the story.
Seriously this tune would be sick for someone to spit some lyrics on it, you know as a backing track.
Sick tune Sick Game!
Best GANGSTER song ever. this shit bangs in the car
This game was my fucken childhood. Playing this on the ps2 all night especially the mission with the nude girls. FUCKEN EPIC MEMORIES
All the getaways have raw soundtrack
