	First Impressions - The Getaway: Black Monday // PS2 /// Eurogamer
		The Getaway: Black Monday (which recently appeared, fittingly enough, at the Cannes Film Festival) maintains much of the mechanical structure of its forebear, preferring to augment the original's technology and gameplay in minor but effective ways while wholesale changes are reserved for its storytelling and presentation.
		He's a slightly suspicious character, but as his nine-chapter story unfolds he makes serious headway in the fight to unmask the culprits behind this particular Black Monday, and Team Soho reckons we'll be drawn in by his story and grow to empathise with him the same way we did with Hammond and Carter.
		The Getaway: Black Monday is in a promising state.

	Middle East Report Online: Black Monday: The Political and Economic Dimensions of Sudan's Urban Riots, by Khalid ...
		Garang's August 6 funeral in Juba was quiet, but the rioting has laid bare structural tensions that persist as the Khartoum government and the SPLM seek to consolidate a permanent peace on the north-south front of Africa's longest-running civil war.
		Like the war itself, the unrest on what Sudanese term "fl Monday" has been widely depicted as driven by ethnic or religious hostility between the "Arab" Muslim north and the "African" Christian and animist south.
		"Black Monday" and the succeeding events have certainly highlighted the fragility of the peace on the north-south front and underscored the weakness of a deal that excludes rebels in Darfur and parts of the east.

		The Getaway Black Monday's controls and interface are intuitive in the walking areas, though switching weapons on the fly isn't as simple as it could have been.

		Part of this is because Black Monday, like its predecessor, is filled to the brim with nearly impenetrable British dialogue, including all kinds of cursing, region-specific slang, and accents you couldn't cut through with a burning knife.
		Black Monday is altogether a less frustrating game than its predecessor, but that also makes it a much shorter one.
		Black Monday should be commended for crafting another unique crime story with plenty of memorable, well-acted characters, but unfortunately it fails to create gameplay of equal caliber.

	The Getaway: Black Monday review for the PS2
		Unsurprisingly, the enemies in Black Monday are governed by heinous A.I. The bad guys are planted throughout missions and merely peek out from cover and take shots on a timer, although they're usually more than half exposed even when they're trying to hide.
		Black Monday has some very distinct characters, and this is almost entirely attributed to the excellent voice work.
		Black Monday offers play options other than the main Story mode, but these are thin and and hardly worthwhile.

		The Getaway: Black Monday is in the middle of an identity crisis.
		However, Black Monday's biggest fault is that it tries to expand upon the original Getaway without fixing the original problems that plagued it; and there was a long laundry list of issues with The Getaway.
		The negatives aside, Black Monday is still a decent amount of fun: it's engaging enough to keep you interested for a complete play through, and the newly added and diversified gameplay elements keep the game fresh.

		Black Monday is that novel for the oil age.
		BLACK MONDAY is an exhilarating thriller based on how intrusive oil is in everyday life well beyond gas for a car so that if something destroyed the supply, humanity would be devastated.

		Black Monday retains many of the stylistic touches from the first title, with a number of changes to address some of the previous game's issues.
		The look of the first Getaway was very dark and stylistic, and Black Monday seems like it upholds the graphical details from the first very well.
		Language warning aside, Black Monday looks like it'll steal much more than player's hearts when it gets released early next year; it could take over plenty of PS2s.

	Kikizo Games: PS2 Review: The Getaway: Black Monday
		Of course, with the release of Black Monday two years on, that novelty is not so pronounced - but London still makes an undeniably fitting and occasionally spectacular setting for the game.
		Black Monday takes place over a 48-hour period, and starts of from perspective of Sergeant Mitchell, a seasoned firearms cop with emotional baggage thanks to a moment in his career he'd rather forget.
		The Getaway Black Monday is a flawed but satisfying experience overall, but the superb acting and successful integration of different perspectives into the story, along with the entertaining mix of mission styles, make it a more than worthwhile experience.

		While pessimism reigned, the market bottomed, leading some to label Black Monday a "selling climax", where the excess value was squeezed out of the system.
		In 1986, the United States economy began shifting from a rapidly growing recovery to a slower growing expansion, which resulted in a "soft landing" as the economy slowed and inflation dropped.
		Unlike the Wall Street Crash of 1929, which was the catalyst for the Great Depression, Black Monday can now be viewed as a market correction within a secular bull market which lasted from 1980 through to 2000 [1].

		Black Monday's biggest issue is a direct result of developer Team SoHo attempting to make the game so realistic that it contains no on-screen navigation tools, other than the blinkers on your vehicle giving you hints at which direction to turn.
		Black Monday's characters are quite large, and for some reason they can only twist their necks a very short distance to either side.
		Ultimately, Black Monday is more about the story it presents than the game play used to advance the plot.

	Review - The Getaway: Black Monday // PS2 /// Eurogamer
		At least Black Monday's not so frustrating, then, which was something that killed many people's interest in the original's overly exacting mission design.
		Maybe if any of the significant flaws of the original had been ironed out, and the missions were actually compelling, we wouldn't mind, but the excitement and thirst for vengeance of the original has been replaced by exceptionally ordinary shoot-'em-up missions, one on-rails shooting section, and a few awful stealth encounters.
		To be honest, the best thing about Black Monday is the awesome title music and the accompanying animation.
