Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on the cult 1969 caper flick of the same name, The Italian Job follows the fortunes of an ambitious gang of thieves led by Michael Caine's near-legendary Charlie Croker. These loveable rogues are on a mission to snatch millions of pounds worth of gold bullion, using little more than some explosives, Benny Hill, and three patriotically coloured Minis.

The various stages of Driver-inspired racing action loosely follow the plot of the film as Croker brings together his dream team of dodgy geezers and sets the stage for the most audacious crime of the century. Swinging London Town is the setting for The Italian Job's first chapter, and here you'll get used to driving some of the game's different vehicles.

These include swish 60s sports cars, limos, vans and, of course, those famous Minis. Most missions involve getting to a certain location before the time runs out, with the added complication of having to ditch any coppers that have given chase. As the story progresses you'll visit Turin and ultimately the Alps as Croker's gang attempt to make their getaway via a bullion-stuffed coach.

The Italian Job captures the spirit of the film well, with a voiceover from none other than celebrity Michael Caine-impersonator Phil Cornwell. The graphics, look great on the PC and have greatly improved from the PSone version and the jolly soundtrack complements the action rather nicely.

However, while dedicated fans of the film will love the obvious care and attention that has gone into this adaptation, other gamers may be a little disappointed by the shallow gameplay and lack of levels. While the sub-games that involve racing to checkpoints or running over traffic cones provide some extra value for money, ultimately there's little here that hasn't already been featured in other driving games.--Tim Cant

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST GAME EVER!, 23 Sep 2003
I think this is a great game!!! There are tons of different modes from knocking over cones to driving the COACH through Lodnon with dynamite!!! You can spend hours on the Free Ride levels where you can drive around London and Turin in a mini, coach, Mafia car and plenty more!!! Even though it dosen't re-create london in great detail it has things like BIG BEN and KINGS CROSS. It is a really great game and makes you feel like wathching the movie over again and notice the things that are the same!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game at a smart price, 20 April 2002
By A Customer
...Good graphics, excellent Michael Caine impression and a very large variety of cars to drive all with unique handling (including the coach!!!!).

The game starts in London then goes to Turin and over the Alps where they escape after the the robbery. The last Turin level where you carry out the heist and escape through the streets of Turin is fantastic. Over 6 minutes driving to escape following the route of the film over rooftop jumps, through sewers and down church steps. It has to be the best level in any mission based driving game yet seen or played

4.0 out of 5 stars A self preservation driving game, 13 April 2002
By A Customer
A cracking little game and at a budget price! A wide variety of missions include The Italian Job levels where the film is recreated. These take you via London, Turin and the Alps, driving all the cars and even the coach! These also a variety of 'Challenge' 'Destructor' and 'Checkpoint' levels which are a good aside from the main game. It's a cross between Driver and Midtown Madness with the only downside that the graphics are a little dated showing the game's Playstation roots, but there's enough thrills and spills to keep anyone happy. Don't expect an accurate sim though it's arcade all the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wait a minute lads. I got an idea ...
Get hold of this game. It's 24 carat gold. Simple. Fun. Fast moving. It broadly tries to follow the original film's plot and doesn't quite manage it. But who cares? Read more

There is no doubt that this is a clever concept for a game and it is genuinely fun to play, if a bit repetative at times. Read more

Ok i'll be brief. This game only manages to get that high a score from me because it's based on one of the best films of all time and it's the lowest you can get. Read more
