SECTION 1 - [REVISION STORY] ---------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's this guide's progress and what I've been doing to make this guide better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 - March 16th 'til March 19th - 60 KB.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello people, that's the first and probably last version of this FAQ, 'cause I
think there's nothing more I can add to the guide. Anyway, I will send it again
written FINAL VERSION after some weeks, below is what I've got.
- Game Controls.
- Game Modes.
- Full Walkthrough.
- Ending.
- Strategies for the Challenge Mode.
- Some hints and tips.
- An interview with this game's managing director.
- And some secrets, like a secret Job and a miniature car.
That's it, 'til my next FAQ/Walkthrough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Version - 61 KB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing new here, just as I said, I'm sending a "FINAL VERSION"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 2 - [INTRODUCTION] -----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome everybody to my The Italian Job FAQ/Walkthrough, my newest work. In the
truth, I still don't know why I'm making a FAQ for this game, maybe because I
spent money on it and want to enjoy it or 'cause I still don't have a Play
Station 2 so I can waste my time with any game. But I'm making a promise, I will
get a Playstation 2 then my first guide will be to Final Fantasy 10.
About the game, I don't know much, but by the little time that I've played I
think that the game is fun, though you will get frustrated how hard it can be
to lose the cops out of your tail. When you start to play this game you will
soon think that this game comes to stand against Driver but don't be so picky,
this game isn't even half good as Driver is, but anyway, I liked it.
I want you to know that this guide may contain some spelling errors 'cause I'm
from Brazil and my english is poor, so any corrections will be really
appreciated and you'll get your name and e-mail adress posted in the credits
section.
Finally, I really apreciate if my guide be readed by a lot of people, but I
really don't suggest you to use this FAQ/Walkthrough unless you get stucked on
a specific part of the game or want to finish the game with 100%, so read it by
your own risk, 'cause this FAQ has lots of spoilers.
Thanks.
Boko.

spot you, making your live easier.
(^_^) Before starting the game, play the Free Ride mode, you can familiarize
with the commands and the city.
(^_^) Try to pay attention on the scenario, sometimes you can do a shortcut and
finish the mission easier.
(^_^) When jumping from ramps/rooftops/high places try to keep your car lined
up, it will make you land without losing control.
(^_^) It's easier to lose the cops when going straigh then making sharp turn,
the cops take advantage in the turns.

|______________________________________________________________________________|
I really don't know a thing about the story of the game, the only thing I know
is that it is a film of 1969, so I searched for some info and got an interview
with this game's managing director, you should take a look at it, I won't look
for more info about the film 'cause I'm just writing this guide to pass time
while I don't have a Playstation 2, so I won't spoil the story, I will just try
to give you the info needed to finish the game. If you want more info about the
story or characters I suggest you to take a look on the other FAQ by J Woodrow,
he seems to know a lot about the film. So let's start the game.

¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This mission is pretty easy, just move ahead then turn left, on the next turn
there will be a police car on the patrol, turn right but be sure to go slowly as
the other cars and on your own side, if you do it successfuly the cop won't spot
you. Keep going on in this street even after the arc, more ahead you will see
a garage to the left, the arrow will help you to find it, so enter the garage
and you're done.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Move onward and turn right through the second arc, keep moving straight forward
and turn left on the second street, keep going forward on this street a long,
long way, then some time later the arrow will indicate you your destination,
reach the King's Cross by passing between two buildings and the mission is over.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Move ahead and turn the first to the right, then turn the next to the left, keep
going straight on this street until you can't do it anymore, then you will have
to turn to the left. On the next turn take the right way and keep going straight
to find the hospital, you probably have cops on your tail, so turn to the right
and keep going through the narrow streets until you lose them, when you do, move
back to the hospital to finish the mission.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
SPECIAL DELIVERY
Objective: Obtain a four wheeled drive vehicle and get back to the base.
Limit time: 45"(to reach car), 50"(to bring the car back).
Weather: Day, Clear.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
Here there's two ways of completing this mission, the first one is to drive as
fast as you can to the first car and bring it back to your base, anyway, if you
can drive fast enough to the first car you will see a scene where a train leaves
loaded with the car you should get, then your mission is to go after another car
that will be just left of the King's Cross. The choice you do won't change any
thing on the progress of the game, so the choice is yours, anyway, here's the
strategies:
To get the first car fast enough turn left when you leave your base, then turn
left, then right on the next street, you're on a ramp-street, keep straight on
this street until you see a big tree, then keep going straight through the
street right of this tree, keep going and when you see a wall in front of you
turn to the left then to the right, keep going straight then turn the next to
the right then left, use the arrow to find the right location of the car, the
cops will be aware now, make your way back to the base, just make sure to go
slowly when you see the cops, so they won't spot you.
If you go much slowly to the first car and the time runs out you will have to
make your way to King's Cross, the way is simple, just follow the arrow and
you should be there in no time. Get the car and move back to your base avoiding
the cops and the mission is done.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Here you will have to stop Charlie's car, this mission is very easy 'cause you
don't have a limit time, Charlie will wander around the city then he will come
back to his starting point, you have to break his car before he completes the
lap, try to follow him and crash on his rear, this way you will damage him and
won't have problem in chasing him, if you don't do it on your first try, keep
trying and you will learn the route he does and anticipate his turns, then you
will have the chance of crashing on his side damaging him critically, in a few
tries of should complete this mission.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Here you mission is to rescue Dominic from the prison and get back to your base,
you will start in front of the prison so rush in through the door, after getting
Dominic exit the prison throug the same door you just entered(if you go through
the other door you will get damaged critically), turn left then right and pass
through the police roadblock, keep straight forward and when you see a ramp to
the left turn right on the next way. Keep moving on and enter the building more
ahead to do a shortcut, exiting through the other side of the building turn
right, left then right, move ahead and you will be on a sort of square, there's
a police car ahead so turn left slowly, keep going straigh forward and after the
arc enter your base to the left, and good job man!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
Here your mission is just to chase Dave's car, this mission is pretty easy, keep
your car near Dave's car and reduce the speed near turns to avoid turning the
wrong way, as in the mission Skilful Bill, the car will wanders around the town
and comes back to where he came from, if you can follow him all the way the
mission is done, if you don't, just keep trying and as in the Skilful Bill
mission you will learn his route and anticipate his moves.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Here your mission is to drive a bus to the Test Track, but there's a problem,
there's a bomb on this bus, so if you crash too much the bomb will blow, also
you have a short time, so you can't be that cautious. When you exit your base
follow the street right of the buiding in front of your base, keep going then
turn right on the bridge, keep straight then follow these ways: left, right then
left, keep going and when you see an orange ramp turn left then right, that is
it, move forward and the mission is done.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL, watch the FMV and now your missions will be at...

Your mission here's is pretty simple, you will drive on italian's streets in
order to learn some of the most important places in Turin, you have a lot of
time but it doesn't mean that time is not a problem, so watch out for it. Keep
following the arrow and you will be taken to these locations. The first place is
the Traffic Control HQ, once reaching there your new destination will appear,
follow the arrow again, to reach the second location you will have to cross a
weir on your way, but it won' be a problem to you, then reaching your next
destination, which is the Piazza, you will see that you're not alone, the mafia
knows you, then you will have to lose to mafia before. To lose the mafia just
wander around the Piazza and try to make it crash with the other cars, once done
with them return to the Piazza.
You learned the location of two important places, now it's time to find the
third one, follow the arrow but keep on mind that you probably will have to
wander some time to find its entrance since the arrow won't give you the
position correctly, but it isn't hard to find, then your last destination is
your new destination, it's very easy to find, this time you can trust in the
arrow, that's it. Home, sweet-home.

From where you begin turn left then right, keep on moving through the ferry and
you will see two tunnels, enter through the right one, exiting the tunnel do a
U turn and enter the last tunnel to the left, keep following the arrow and you
you're already there. After leaving Lorna at the airport some guys from the
mafia will appear. The mafia isn't really a problem since they're very easy to
outrun, make your way back to the tunnels and take the one to the right, keep
on this road and follow the arrow, you will soon lose the mafia, then turn when
the arrow indicates, that's it, you made it to the hideout.

That's the first(and only) mission that you play by night, so try to enjoy the
city's layout at night before getting serious. When you thinks that it's enough
start the mission. Turn 180° then enter the street to the right, follow this
way then turn left ahead, you're in the ferry now, keep straight forward and
turn right on the first alley you see follow through this alley then turn left
then right, keep straight until you see an entrance to the underground parking
lot to your left, enter it you will steal a bicycle.
Now exit through the entrance at the opposite side of the one you came from,
take the following directions: left, right then left, keep following the arrow
and it will turn drastically, follow it and you will disable the Power Station,
the lights at the Traffic Control HQ will switch off, now it's time to get your
buddies, work your way until the Traffic Control HQ but be aware 'cause there's
cops now, then once reaching there you will have to make a escape to the mansion
hideout, again just follow the arrow fast 'cause you don't have much time, but
it isn't hard at all.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
INTERFERENCE
Objective: Disable all traffic cameras then get the job.
Limit time: 7'00"
Weather: Day, Clear.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
Here you will have to find and disable 20 traffic cameras before doing the job,
the cameras are scattered around the city, the problem is that the arrow won't
guide you to the cameras, it will only appear when you come close to it, so you
will have to find them by yourself. The cameras aren't hard to find at all, they
are almost always near important places/buidings/streets and in a few tries you
will memorize the location of most of them, there are more than 20 cameras on
the city, so try to disable cameras that are one near another, this way you will
not lose much time 'cause here the time is really tough, so after some time of
pratice you will end up doing this, after disabling them follow the arrow which
will guide you to an alley where the mission end.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
CONVOY
Objective: Get through the traffic jam to the alleyway where you will join the
Convoy. Avoid all police.
Limit time: 1'55"
Weather: Day, Clear.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This mission may seem hard but it isn't. Here the traffic is almost always tough
and the time isn't much favorable too, there's also some police roadblocks on
the way, but I found a way where you won't have problem nor with cops neither
with time, so just follow it: From the Mansion Hideout turn left then turn left
again more ahead, you will have some tunnels in front of you, take the one most
to the right. When you exit the tunnel keep going straight then turn on the
second bend to the left, this way you will avoid a police roadblock ahead. Then
turn right and right again more ahead, keep going straight and the arrow will
tell you to turn to the left, but there's a roadblock there, so don't turn, just
keep on moving and turn in the next bend to the left. Keep going and turn the
next to the left too, then the next to the right, the traffic here is really
tight but you can pass it through the causeway, just move straight and the
mission is over.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL, watch the FMV sequence and let's go the getaway.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
THE GETAWAY
Objective: Follow the other minis out of Turin and meet up with the coach.
Limit time: 6'45"
Weather: Day, Clear.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
Finally you're here man, this mission rocks, here you will have to getaway from
Turin with your friends, to do it, chase your frieds as close as you can go,
on the first jump just avoid the arc or you can end up losing time, keep going
after them and a cop will go after you, after passing by the ferry turn right
and keep following them, ahead there's a stair where you will have to jump,
slow down for your own sake. Keep following them through the stairs and you
you will enter the mall, the way here is pretty simple and you won't have any
problem if you're near your friends. At the end there's ramp, slow down a little
and slightly turn to the right, just follow your friends into the underground
shopping.
After exiting the underground shopping jump slightly to the left in the ramp,
keep following your buddies and you will reach the ramp that leads to a rooftop
of a bulding, you will jump two ramps, you only should care about the second,
slow down a little or you will crash in the wall with full speed. Keep following
them and you will pass through an arc, slow down a little to make the bend to
the left, now you probably have a cop on your tail, so keep full speed. When you
reach the big stairway slow down just a little and turn to the right. From now
on, full speed and take care to not stay much behind your pals, afterwards you
will reach a forest area, here you should pay attention on the land, 'cause it
is a bit hard to keep your car lined up, in the end, climb up the big ramp and
jump from the Dome Statium.
From here keep following your friends, but be aware 'cause here there's a lot
of cops. Afterwards you will arrive at the Italian Parking lot, just cross it
to the end and there use the ramp to jump the grille, you will lose any cops
off your tail but another will appear on your way to the secret track, complete
one lap then use a ramp the the left to get out of here. Now you're on another
rooftop, there's some ramps here too, follow your buddies to take the best
route and not crash some tree on the big jump ahead. Afterwards you will reach
the coast, from here just take care to not crash on a tree when the camera
changes. Cross the weir and turn to the left. You're almost there!, just follow
them and you will reach the sewer, here stay just behind your buddies to get
the best way through the arcs and your getaway is finished!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.

Your mission here is to put all the three minis on the bus while in movement,
this mission is really hard because to put the cars on the bus' rear you will
have to line up the car with the bus and stay in a good distance from it for 5
seconds, it may seem not too hard but it really isn't, the first car is easy to
put in the bus cause the bus will move straight and you just have to keep your
car lined up. The second car is a little harder to put in the bus, but it will
turn slightly some time and you will have to turn too some times. If you
accelerate much you will have to start the count all again, also you can't
stay too far. The third car is really ****in hard, think about it, if the bus
driver is a friend of yours and there's no one chasing them why doesn't he just
stop this stupid. There's no strategy in the third car, all I can tell you is
too try again, try again and try again. A month later you will win.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

That's the last mission man, so it's time to show all skills you've acquired
on the previous missions. The main problem here is the time that is tough, you
will be using the bus here, so the speep won't be high, the initial road is
pretty simple, just keep going avoidind the cars until you reach the village,
there you can gain a second by doing a shortcut left of it. Your way now is
simple, be aware with the pins in the first tunnel. Afterwards you will reach
an area with a cliff to the right, pay attention!, more ahead you will see that
the mafia won't let you escape so so easily, there's a car from the mafia just
ahead. It won't be easy to have the mafia behind you, so push him over the cliff
and hear a fun laugh from Big William.
Enter the tunnel ahead and again pay attention on the pins, there's a bend here
that you should care about, after exiting the tunnel some boulders will start
to fall from the mountain, they're not much hard to avoid, but if you don't
you will lose some important seconds. Afterwards you will see a white boulder
right of the road, jump through it to do a shortcut, more ahead you will get
your buddies, if after the cutscene you have at least 50 seconds you should be
able to finish this mission. Keep on moving avoiding the falling boulders and
you will have a cliff to your left, be aware and keep going to finish the game.
MISSION SUCCESSFUL, Congratulations, you've beat the game.

MISSION 7 - [ENDING] -----------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having passed through the swiss boarder you will see a FMV sequence where
the bus skids on a bend near the cliff, the bus is almost falling over the cliff
and the ending ends here, letting you wonder what happened to them. (^_^)

SECTION 8 - [CHALLENGE STRATEGIES] ---------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After finishing the game once, you will have access to the challenge mode, there
you have little missions with tough times where you will test your skills in
braking, turning and jumping, so below I will give you some strategies for these
missions.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
JUMPS TEST 01
Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course.
Limit time: 1'30"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
You mission here is very simple, you have to complete 3 laps on the circuit
jumping ramps and without falling off the course, from the starting point there
are three ramps before doing the first turn, the ramps and very lined up so
you won't have problem jumping them, just don't go much fast on the third ramp
or you will end up falling. After the first turn to the left you will have more
three ramps before completing the first lap, the ramps are easy to jump, so
after completing the first lap you will have 7 of the 21 checkpoints needed to
finish the challenge, so just repeat the pattern for more two laps and you will
win.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
JUMPS TEST 02
Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all
cones.
Limit time: 1'30"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
Just like the previuos mission, but you will have to hit six cones on the first
bend to the left, the ramps here are lined up, so you won't have problem while
jumping, just slow down a little on the third ramp or may fall off the track,
hitting the cones is easy, just slow down a little, even then, if you miss one
or more cones you will have two more laps to hit them. The rest of the track is
very easy cause the ramps have a good distance one from the other, so win this
this test.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
JUMPS TEST 03
Objective: As before but you must hit the cone on the finishing line to complete
each lap.
Limit time: 1'30"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This mission is almost like the previous, you have to complete 3 laps of the
challenge course without falling off the course and hitting all cones, the ramps
are straight, so you just need to worry about the third ramp 'cause if you
accelerate much you will overpass the circuit and fall, failing your mission.
There's one difference from the previous challenge, here you will have to hit a
cone on the finish line to complete each lap, and it will count as one of the 21
checkpoints.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
JUMPS TEST 04
Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all
cones.
Limit time: 1'30"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This mission is a little harder than the previous ones, besides the checkpoints
in the ramps and the cone on the finishing line, you will have to hit 6 cones
on the first bend to the left. Note also that the ramps here aren't lined up,
so you will have to jump diagonally. On the first ramp, turn slightly to the
left before jumping, then on the second ramp you have to turn slightly to the
right, don't go fast on the third ramp or you will overpass it, then when you
land to a bend to the left slowly to hit the 6 cones(you can do it fast to if
you can!), then jump the other easy ramps and hit the cone to complete the lap,
repeat this two more time and hit the cones you may have lost, the you finish
the mission.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
JUMPS TEST 05
Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all
cones.
Limit time: 1'30"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This is the harder mission of the jumping serie, you will have to complete 3
laps on the track, with ramps not lined up, having to hit the 6 cones on the
bend to the left, hit the cone to finish each lap and also a new objective, hit
another cone that is on the little wall left of your starting point. This
mission is that hard 'cause you will have to do all this, but the limit time
is still the same of the first test. To make is easier do the same strategy
of the test 04 on the two first laps and try to hit the new cone on the last
lap, this way you won't lose time with failed tries, or you do or you don't.
To hit the new cone on the last lap make your way until the last ramp, then
jump diagonally to the left, this way you will cross the bend, above the wall,
try to go a little slow or you will end up overpassing it. If you did hit the
new cone just hit the last cone to finish the lap, and the challenge.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
BRAKE TEST
Objective: Accelerate away and come to a full stop in the specified area without
touching any cone.
Limit time: 0'15"
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
This mission is harder than it looks, it consists in a 400 meters way with a
place to stop in the end with some cones, that you can't hit. Simple isn't? no,
it is hard, the time is really tough here and you almost always won't have
enough time to full brake the car, and some times will hit the cones. What to do
then?, you may ask, to finish this challenge I suggest you do to hold your hand
brake and to a sharp turn, then your car will skid, stopping faster then if you
brake with you car lined up, it may be dangerous 'cause you will need a good
control of your car to not hit any cone. That's it.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢
ICY ROAD CHECKPOINT RACE
Objective: Complete 4 laps of the track against the clock.

This test is a little tough 'cause you're on a icy road and you may skid really
easy here, so try to turn with light touchs on the Analogic control/Dad, as you
pass through the checkpoints you will gain an extra time to finish the mission,
anyway, the only solution here is to try again if you fail until you learn to
do the bends in this road.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

That's a little easy test, you will have to cross the city passing through 18
checkpoints, some buses will be on your way to try to make you lose time, in
the start, they are standing still, then they will start to move and run after
you, but ins't much problem 'cause you're driving the Lamborghini.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

Here you will play again in the icy road, but now you have a destructor mission,
there's 38 cones that you can hit to gain extra time to finish the lap. Some
times slow down to make the bend without skiding, turn with light touchs in the
control and you should win it, this mission is easier than the Icy Road
Checkpoint Race.
YOU WON.
¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢

SECTION 10 - [INTERVIEW WITH BRYAN REYNOLDS] -----------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an interview by Jayne Bowen with Bryan Reynolds, managing director at
Pixelogic studios, the interwiew was done before the releasing of the game, the
source is the game site Games Domain(www.gamesdomains.co.uk)
________
Question: When did the idea of making a game about the Italian Job movie first
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ come into play?
______
Answer: SCi approached us with the opportunity and had been searching for a
¯¯¯¯¯¯ suitably action-packed crime caper to base a new game around. It was
very shrewd of them to acquire the licence for The Italian Job and we
couldn't wait to get down to designing and producing the game. It was an
immediate winner with everyone recognising that it would make a great
game.
________
Question: What was it about the film that made it a good premise for a game and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ how did you go about capturing its charm and essence?
______
Answer: I don't think there could be a film more perfect for game conversion.
¯¯¯¯¯¯ It's comprised of a number of missions to pull off the ultimate heist.
It 'reads' like a game in itself. As for capturing the charm of the
film, that involved a lot of background research into the era, plus
going over the film in the minutest detail. Naturally with a game of
this scale we felt we had to beef up the backstory considerably to
translate an hour and a half of film into 30 hours-plus gameplay. I feel
we enlarged the Italian Job universe while remaining true to the spirit
of the original.
________
Question: What kind of missions will players have to complete and are any of
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ them pulled from the film?
______
Answer: If life is like a box of chocolates our game is the whole ruddy sweet
¯¯¯¯¯¯ shop! From haring around London to meeting with gang members, busting
crims out of jail, careering round snaking Alpine dirt tracks to fully
recreating the longest, craziest getaway drive from the heart of Turin,
I can solemnly promise more variety than a well- known ketchup
manufacturer! The last mission, The Getaway, has already been judged by
Official PlayStation Magazine to be one of the finest console driving
experiences ever. The Getaway is a recreation of the film's climactic
final dash: driving onto the Fiat test track - check. Haring down the
church steps - check. Upsetting Saturday shoppers in the underground
mall- check. Escaping the cops on the stadium roof - check. Spraying
across a torrid weir - check. Pummelling down a sewer drain in the last
furlong to freedom - check. It's all in there.
________
Question: Which car will players be able to drive?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
______
Answer: Naturally the Minis loom large in this game but the driving fun doesn't
¯¯¯¯¯¯ stop there. From snippy sports cars to buses, coaches and the more
robust door-busting power of four-wheel-drives, the player gets his
hands on a quite a few choice motors.
________
Question: What separates The Italian Job from other mission-based driving games,
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ like Driver?
______
Answer: Records are there to be broken. Driver is a fine game and pays testament
¯¯¯¯¯¯ to the hard work and thought the developers put into it. We've trodden
the same path but arrived at a different destination. There are many
things that set The Italian Job apart, a few of which are that it's far
more accessible, immediately fun and the missions are far less
restrictive. Just wait till you get to that escape scene, baby.
________
Question: Where does the game take us? What cities/environments?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
______
Answer: London, Turin and the Alps - from urban settings to hills and motorways.
¯¯¯¯¯¯ Expect to be airborne - here be ramps!
________
Question: What difficulties did you come across developing for the PlayStation?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Anything you couldn't do, but wanted to?
______
Answer: The comparatively limited RAM of PSX was one problem we faced and the
¯¯¯¯¯¯ sheer size of our cityscapes and their smooth streaming from CD was our
main area of concern. Chris, our lead programmer, stuck to his guns and
we have a great system that allows us to implement the levels we
envisaged at the start. In short we squeeze the system till its chips
squeak...
________
Question: Will there be a follow-up to the game?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
______
Answer: That all depends. We're flexing our next-gen muscles at the moment,
¯¯¯¯¯¯ using middleware for the game's conversion to other formats - the PC
adaptation is well underway. I guess the easy answer is watch this
space...
________
Question: What's your favourite bit of the game?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
______
Answer: For me personally it's the little touches. The laugh of Big William,
¯¯¯¯¯¯ the coach driver, always makes me giggle. Our Caine impersonator is
spot-on and in terms of actual gameplay it's got to be the Getaway-
it'll rock your world...
________
Question: At the end of the film we're left with the Self-Preservation Society
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ dangling over a cliff in that van with all their booty. Do you think
they got away with it?
______
Answer: Good question. Having completed work on the game and hearing the buzz
¯¯¯¯¯¯ generating around it as it nears launch I can't help but feel optimistic
about a great many things - I think we'll let the lads get the gold, eh?
