The Getaway: Black Monday is set to be a day to remember for Sgt Mitchell. His first shift back on the MET's Organised Crime Squad begins with a dawn raid on a council estate that turns nasty. The next 48 hours will put him against the suspicions of his team mates, a new ruthless wave of crime and the most powerful man in London.
The Getaway: Black Monday is also about Eddie O'Conner, an amateur boxer in severe trouble. His bank job went horribly wrong, his small-time crew has been wiped out, and his only ally is Sam, a teenage thief. Eddie knows he's way out of his depth, now his friends are dead and somebody is going to pay...
The Getaway: Black Monday is split into sections, with each part told from a different perspective - Sgt Mitchell's side, then Eddie's, and finally Sam's. This unique storytelling approach provides multiple angles on the same story.
The Getaway: Black Monday 's gameplay is divided between driving and shooting/sneaking parts. You'll receive missions to drive to destinations and complete objectives, often involving shooting or sneaking past enemies. London has been recreated digitally, allowing you to explore freely in a car or on foot. As Eddie, you'll need to avoid police and rival gangs while trying to complete your objectives.
As the game progresses, you'll uncover new information through Sam's perspective, adding depth to the story. The gameplay features a variety of moves, including sneaking, hiding, crouching, and rolling. You can also use Eddie's unarmed boxing moves or Sam's agility to escape danger.

Story
BLACK MONDAY
London, present day. The city doesn't know what's about to hit it.
It's going to be a day to remember for Sgt. Mitchell. His first shift back on the Met's Organized Crime Squad begins with a dawn raid on a government housing project that turns nasty.
The next 48 hours will pit him against the suspicions of his teammates, a new ruthless wave of crime and the most powerful man in London.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, amateur boxer Eddie O'Connor is in severe trouble. The bank job went horribly wrong, his small-time crew has been wiped out and his only ally in this whole mess is Sam, a teenage thief more comfortable with stealing laptops than gang violence.
Eddie knows he's way out of his league - now his friends are dead and somebody is going to pay.
