Now that I have finally found the time to sit down and finish the Italian Job, I feel that I can give it a fair review. I would have given it 4 1/2 stars if I could have, but because it has such a great price..., I decided to go ahead and give it five stars. This may very well be the best [$$] I have ever spent.If you enjoyed the movie The Italian Job, then you will definitely enjoy this game. It follows the movie almost exactly. You get to play through some of the best scenes in the movie, including the crazy Mini Cooper car chase through Turin, Italy.This is a mission-based driving game, sort of like the Driver series or Grand Theft Auto III. You begin as a guy who just got out of prison and takes a job that involves stealing gold from the mafia in Italy. There are 16 missions: 8 in London, 6 in Italy, and the 2 escape missions through the Alps. There is a good variety in the mission objectives, although it mostly boils down to driving around trying to complete your objective while avoiding the cops. If the cops see you, they take chase and you have to shake them before reaching your objective. If you destroy your vehicle, run out of time, or if the cops get close enough to get your entire license plate number, then you fail the mission. The difficulty level is just about right. There are a few missions that will cause some frustration but they are not impossible.In addition to the story mode, there are several extra games to mess around with. You can take a ride around London or Italy to get to know the area using your choice of vehicle. Then there are several mini games, like checkpoint races and stunt tests.The graphics are not fantastic but they are okay for a PS One game. My major complaint about the game is the difficulty of controlling the car. If you are used to the tight control of PS2 games like Gran Turismo and the aforementioned GTA III, you may have some trouble getting used to the sluggish control here.With all the bad games for the PS One that are coming out now, seemingly rushed just to make a quick buck, this is probably the best PS One game to come out since the PS2. Rockstar did a great job of recreating the scenes from the movie, especially on the getaway mission. All of the coolest segments of the movie chase are here. You get to drive through the subway, up the big dome building, across the river, and through the sewers. Overall, you could do much, much worse for [$$].
