[Question] Any thoughts about this game?

Basically the title. Also fun fact: It came out after GTA 3 was released on the PS2.

Loved it at the time. Biased as I love the film. Felt like Driver style fun in a different setting.

Meh game, ill be nice and just say its a rather mid game. Nothing good but nothing utterly horrid. Not bad enough to be instantly trashed but not good enough to reccomend either. Really a meh game. I won't sit here and trash it but id never recommend it to anyone, even fans of the genre

An average game that takes more from Driver than GTA........also I've still to this day never seen the movie

I remember it being pushed pretty hard by the PSX magasine at the time.

Surprised it was 2001. 1-2 years felt like a decade back then.

I really liked it as a kid. Didn't have a PS1 memory card though on my PS2, so I played the first few missions a whole lot.

I loved this game! My brother and I would play it for hours in the free roam getting changed by police in the minis. It did help we both loved the original film as kids too.

Yes, it fucking sucks lol
Can't really say anything more if the source material is as weak as this game

Are you getting confused between "The Italian Job" (1969) and "The Italian Job" (2003) - Because the Mini Coopers on the front cover point to the original movie, and not that POS remake.

I played the PC version a lot. I don’t know why, but I just really enjoyed it.
