This is for u

Brilliant
A brilliant game with loads of unlockables and lots of different modes. Will last months!

Like the film,not as good as the original
As a great fan of the original PsOne Italian Job I was looking forward to the new game but whilst I enjoy the new game it lacks the addictive qualities of the original. In the main Story mode the missions are ridiculously short and some are way too easy. The graphics are OK with a choice of views but the damage modelling seems limited and there are not that many cut scenes or sounds from the movie. Multiplayer and stunt modes are good fun but the sheer playability and action of the original game are just not there... maybe the developers should have taken a closer look at (and a few tips from) their illustrious predecessor...
